These two sides look like they would rather be napping than playing finals 

In fairness I’ve watched 5 minutes of this game 😂

    If not already noted, it just occurred to me that it was also the West Coast vs Adelaide game that cost us a finals spot by the slimmest of margins in 2017.

    Hopefully that is not an omen for tonight.

    I didn't want to post on that well done.

    Crows tanked last round of 2017 and cost us finals. Karma last week was lovely. 

    (Yes I know we should've beaten pies that round but that's not the point)

    Dent the Lions confidence, make them question themselves prior to finals. They’ve everything to play for and it would say a lot if they can’t get it done. 

    Sure. But if they lose, port wins and we win we play port at Adelaide oval week one of finals.

    So, I’d prefer to beat the Pies at the G over PA

    Huh?

    So as it stands right now with, say, 12 minutes to go:

    • Brisvagas wins
    • Port hot faves to beat Ninethmond
    • We play Filth at HQ first week finals whether win or loose tomorrow.

    All have equal footing for me… I would love nothing more than beating Collingwood at the G and I would love nothing more than beating the lions at the Gabba and I would love nothing more than beating port at Adelaide

    hmmm…and I’m not even confused by that post 😂

    you'd think they will hold on from here, maybe saints fit they didn't rest King.

     

    ... especially with shots like that on goal.

    Port play well in Brisbane, I would not discount them from knocking off Brizvegas.

    if we're playing the bears up there, i'll take the twilight slot

    doesn't look nearly as slippery and suited to their style of play than a night game often does

    Total myth that the Gabba is slippery, it's dry from early/mid July onwards. Playing in Brisbane is like playing in Melbourne, just with possibly higher temperatures. Totally different story at the start of the season.

    I think you can work it out

    I'm confused. Did you not read my post?

    We won't play the pies week one if the saints win this game. 

    If the saints and the dees win:

    We will play Port IN Adelaide if they beat tigers (which they will).

    Or if port lose we will play the lions at the g.

    I've only been back less than 48 hours so I may be missing something as to why Coll is seen to be an easier QF than Port or Lions.

    I noticed they lost a few games recently but they will have Moore, Murphy and McCleery back.  They rested Elliot for half the game last night, Sidebottom played in 2nd gear and everyone will have two days extra rest than us.

    If we play Coll and lose we are facing a game each week to the GF and an away PF.    I'd rather an away QF than an away PF.

    Now that the Lions have won, I'm hoping for a Port loss tomorrow.

    • 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.
