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.

    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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
