The only thing worse than losing is playing a slow, defensive garbage game style and losing, while at the same time having an deep lack of talent from systemically overrating and overestimating your list. 

I don't see a way forward for the Saints that doesn't involve bottoming out completely 

Phew, I thought you were referring to us in that first paragraph.

    They led Fremantle by 26 points midway through the fourth quarter, in Perth, with most of those players missing.

    I'll believe their demise if/when I see it. Until then, I fully expect them to keep winning.

    Just an observation. When we got stiffed by the dangerous tackle call against Carlton. Crickets from the media. Isn’t it funny when it happens to Collingwood how it makes prime time. They go as far as calling the incident between the umpire and Sidebottom a few minutes earlier too citing some conspiracy to get him back.

    it does my head in and biased the media is in this town.

    Sidebottom and Pendlebury will do that to a team's average age.

    I hate Cox ... I wish to point out that I'm talking about the player, not spelling something else phonetically.

    On that point, isn't it odd that 'phonetically' isn't spelt phonetically?

    Night all.

    Am i hearing right the 7 nuffies are talking about the Swans suffering from fatigue after a rough fixture?

    Something about 5 day breaks?

    They've never had worse than a 6 day break with most of them 7 / 8 day breaks.

    Then this little gem "Collingwood's been decimated with injuries".

    You can't make this stuff up

    If the Swans had our draw, they wouldn't be sitting pretty at the top of the tree.

    That much i know, they've had one of the greatest Geelongesque type armchair rides to a Final series ever.

    • 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?
