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.

    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….

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
