Top 2 is a better goal. Let’s not be cocky and think that playing Port in Adelaide or Pies in week one is going to be a better result than a home final in week one ffs!

Not cocky, don’t think we are finishing top 2. We almost beat Port playing one decent quarter over there. Don’t want to play Pies here first week of finals.

    Honestly anyone who wanted Essendon to lose doesn’t understand how this season could play out. Very poor result for us. 

    I hear you, but where I’m at is that if we finish top 4 (as we’ll need to to have a genuine chance), then from there, if we’re good enough we’ll win.

    We can win this year, no question, but I’m not seeing the team unity we had in 2021, and that Collingwood and Port have. 

    long way to go though…

    Hey peanut ...

    Demons were never going to finish top 2, so it's better that the teams pushing for 4th place lose. 

    Come back to me when you've thought about it ... hahaha 

    I agree with you Winners. This talk that we're a lock for top 4 is very premature.

    Hey Einstein, we could absolutely finish top 2 with our percentage gap. Port winning today makes it much less likely. 
    If a side like Essendon get out spot in the top 4, we can’t win the flag anyway, so what does it matter?

    All will be revealed in the fullness of time.

    If you can’t take joy in watching the peptides lose like that, I feel sorry for you. 

    I take joy in 3 things and 3 things only 

    1- Melbourne winning 

    2- Geelong losing 

    3- Death riding Freo

    Port are very ho hum away from the MCG. Would love to get them there in a final.

    Butters is playing a complete outside game. 25 disposals for 4 contested possessions and 8 score involvements.

    If someone sits on him that's a huge part of their game nullified.

    And still, Essendon should have won.

    Next time we play Port, if we do, I hope Harmes sits on Butters.

    Pity our chances of finishing 2nd have almost been snuffed out but that's on us. That said, if we had to miss out on a home Qualifying final then Essendon losing after the siren is how I'd want it to happen.

    So do I. That's why being able to fit Harmes in the midfield over JJ, gives us good options. Leaving Clarry, Trac and Viney to play their game.

    We lost the chance of top 2 after the last qtr capitulation last week.

    If we're good enough, as Richmond were, we'll win it from fourth with a leg in the air.

    I'm sorry but Essendon losing after the siren makes my night. 

    Our ladder position is up to the players and Goodwin and us winning. We can't rely on other teams. 

    It's a shame Essendon are still in the 8

    We’re not playing good footy consistently enough and the gap between our best and worst is gigantic. We are very flaky atm and are currently a fair way off the top 3 performance wise.

    Dont worry about top 2, Id be happy finishing the regular season top 4. From there anything goes.

    An illegal one. He moves 2 meters off the mark to the left before even starting the run.

    No one in the league and for good reasons have decided to sit on Butters.

    Port are in for a rude shock when finals come along and someone decides to sit on him with a firm tag.

    Yeah Brisbane have been amazing. I loved their loss to Hawthorn a couple of weeks back.

    Lots of people easily seduced by a walk in the park win over a soft as butter flakey as a flake chocolate Gold Coast side.

    Dunno, that loss to a [censored] Freo side at home certainly cost us more than Port beating Essendon….

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
