    My OP was just at a specific emotional level, DD; the boys finals are dead to me now (unless Collingwood and Carlton both crash and burn...) I've moved on, very happily, to the girls' very entertaining campaign.

    GWS by a point after a controversial disallowed Collingwood goal deep in the last quarter, the camera then panning to Eddie McGuire’s stunned mullet, triple chinned beetroot face in the crowd. Our straight sets exit would almost be worth it just to see that.

    I hate the filth.

    3 magpie attacks in the past month have deepened my hatred. I reported 2 of them on magpiealert.com.

    It should be us playing tonight and the pies tomorrow night against Brisbane. But it's our fault we can't kick.

    Really hoping the giants start well and shut the ferals up. I just desperately want them to win and obviously Brisbane tomorrow night.

    I'll however be mainly watching the storm tonight in their prelim. 

    A giants/storm would be great

    I'll be cheering on the boys in orange with great gusto tonight. We're terribly disappointed after our [censored] the bed performances but if there's one thing that can cheer us up its the sight of the orange boys silencing the MCG. 

    Blues fans have very low expectations so won't be as much enjoyment if they lose. A 100+ point shellacking might sour the euphoria they've been feeling though.

    Hard to see any result aside from Pies v Lions GF.   Lions to win by a point of course - camera cut to Bucks 😂

    Giants are not great at the G and will be intimidated by the crowd surely

    This twilight kick off for a prelim is bizarre. as if sleeping in your own bed after the game matters as opposed the Blues relaxing in brisbane for the night and flying back in the morning. After a huge game having the ice baths and recovery would arguably by preferable to being cooped up on the plane.

    If Jesse and Bedford can kick 6 goals between them (and GWS win) we should offer them life membership.

    There's s "special report" in The Age on the magnificence of Nick Daicos. I can't bring myself to look at it and I'm certainly not posting a link. Go Giants!

    There have been so many news stories about the Blues' cheer squad travelling to Brisbane. They were/are so excited.

    I feel so sorry for the Demon Army (WCW et al). It should have been them.

    Pies and Lions are certainly the most deserving at this point. If GWS wins tonight we absolutely want Brisbane to win because Carlton will beat GWS in a GF.

    • 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.

    • 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?
