    Have had better mornings on holidays (in Croatia at the moment), Pittonet in the ruck making the Blues slower than needed, Cerra and Cottrell not contributing enough after returns from injury.

    Freo lost so that is at least a positive in the chase for second spot.

    Over to the Dees now to beat Essendon ... time for a polo shirt change (it is 32°C here) 😁

    After last night’s brilliant effort we could still end the weekend outside the 8 if Port win. Clearly GWS will beat Richmond and Brisbane most likely over WC. So let’s go Suns!

    Probably going to need 13 wins plus a good % to make the 8 this year.

    Far more excited to go for the biggest upset of the year x 2 in Richmond or West Coast today. Either of them winning, and taking four points off GWS/Brisbane, would do wonders. GC beating Port helps, but keeps GC close to us.

    Reality is our fixture means if we get to 13 wins we're likely to make finals because that will require us to take four points of three of our rivals for finals spots.

    You do realise it is possible that after tonight they may jump ahead of us without having kicked a ball today?

    😯

    Back in the Neeld era we could lose by 6 - 8 goals and gain percentage.

    Lets go Suns and maybe the Tigers can pull off a mInor miracle against GWS.

    Gold Coast hanging on through the third quarter, which is good for our home final/top 4 aspirations for the optimists (and for anyone anticipating a snort-laugh at the 'Pies dropping to 12th), but for the pessimists it is all about the late sunday shift with upsets for West Coast and Richmond offering pure icing on an already good round 18 cake.

    I can’t see West Coast beating Brisbane unless they pluck out the old play out of their skin now the coach is gone trick. They looked mentally and physically out of juice against us week. 

    For some reason I’m more optimistic about Richmond beating GWS, although I should probably remind myself that the ladder is the way it is for good reason.

    With GC looking like they'll upset port Adelaide, there's a real chance we'll be in the 8 after this round is done.

    • 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?
