Scoring has really started to dry up as clubs have gone to work on one-another’s game plan and strategies. 

oh, i assumed we were the only one's 'worked out'.

    That should’ve been play on. This is so frustrating to watch.

    Honestly thought the bye rounds were over. Makes tonight even sillier. 

    Making the need for a Thursday night game at Kardinia Park even more flabergasting.  Or last Thursday for that matter.

    Carrot?

    Wasn't a direct reference to your comment per se - just an acknowledgement that each club, each week, tries to implement a game plan to counter the alternate club, as they have done for time immemorial, but only if The Demons lose, have we being worked out.

    And we drop a spot. Ugh

    Yes it sucks to drop a spot.

    However, it’s an indictment on us if an Essendon, Dogs or Adelaide knock us out of the top 4.

    Its our spot in the top 4 to lose given our reasonable run home in August.

    Well it appeared as direct reference to my thoughts.

    That’s a pretty intense observation. Are you sure?

    Ashcroft does. Clearly.

    Ladder wise a good result for us given last night's debacle

    Unfortunately a Freo win tomorrow is now best not to mention Pies over Adelaide

    Yeah... life ain't great

    I know it seems knee jerk, but I’ve actually been observing it over a 3-4 month period and my analysis really stacks up.

    This may sound sacriligeous but I want Freo to beat Ess this week and WBD next week to give us a one game break into the top 4.  They are the two main contenders for 4th and both have a very easy run home. 

    The draft picks pale in significance with a spot in the top 4 @ EOS, on the line.

    Agreed.

    Absolutely no benefit in Essendon winning tonight with respect to our top 4 aspirations.

    It’s not sacrilegious. It’s just common sense.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
