In case you missed it the goal that eventually won Carlton the game was off the back of one of the more blatant throws all season.

Did not even rate a mention by the commentators.

Fox could not be cheering harder for Carlton. Absolutely pukeworthy. At Gil's request of course.

    I swear i saw twice in the last 2-3 minutes that free kicks were paid against a Carlton player, when the player had the ball in his hands, and he just dropped it to the ground - no 50 paid. In each case out would have brought the GC player within about 15 m of the goals.

    Like us last week. Paid nothing when it could change the result.

    Carlton to finish 5th and get rolled by 8th placed Giants.  Put it in the book.

    I reckon GWS will beat them next week too.

    Everyone talking up the Blues but the other form team the Giants are a serious team.   Will be tough to beat in finals

    100%. Their defense is amazing. They just don’t have the fan support.

    Latest results and form suggest we may be better off finishing fourth than third. I'd fancy meeting the Pies at the MCG rather than a possible trip to a Brisbane side running hot, especially if Daicos and Moore are still out for the first week.

    They just know they’ve got Essendon beaten for pace. They run away from the stoppage.

    Bombers have been lame ducks for a while now.  Scraped over the line against two of the worst sides in VFL/AFL history.  Their form is putrid.  Collingwood would need another 6 of their best dozen out to lose to these guys next week. Hard to judge the Giants when they are playing witches hats, but I do hope they belt Carlton next week.

  • Quote

    At least we can be confident the pies will beat the bombers. All we have to do is beat the third bottom side.

    Edited by Roost it far

    Who remembers the top 4 bombers??! 8 wins 4 losses

    easy draw all year.  aside from north and WC they have won 1 game since round 12

    Suck on it.  hard

    I hate carlton. The only good finish to the year for them is to win next week and finish 5th which will be 10 wins in a row then lose the elim by a point. That would provide me with a great laugh.

    Faark Carlton, can’t stand them.

    The only good thing this weekend is Essendon adding to the days without a finals win.

    Our loss to Essendon this year is the only one that is truly inexcusable IMO. We played like absolute garbage. I’m still mad about it!

    I agree.  Carlton's form has dropped

    Giants will likely be 9th desperate to play finals and Blues with not much to play for assuming we beat the Hawks

    Giants, Lions, Pies, Dees, Blues... Everyone is trying to pick the flag winner 5 weeks out.

    No one has a clue who will win it, and anyone who thinks they do is underestimating the evenness of the competition.

    was our biggest loss of the year by far, too

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
