    Pendlebury has been a great player. 400 games is an amazing achievement.

    And he played well tonight. i reckon he'll go around again.

    Carlton & Collingwood both missing the 8 is the dream scenario. Step in the right direction tonight Landers. Let's get something out of this season!

    That sucks. I see Darcknee Moore managed to get a knee into a Carlton bloke’s ribs there in the last minutes. Can someone line him up in our last game please.

    Nah that honour I’m reserving to junior boxing champion Jake Melksham when he decides to call it a day.

    If only carlton could kick straight 

    Nah, bugger them.
    Hawks could kick them out of the 8 next week by beating them.

    Quite happy with that result. Blues now a game and a half out of the top four if Brisbane win tomorrow. Important since they have WC away and St.K to finish their season. If Hawthorn lose tomorrow but beat Carlton the following week they could both end up miss finals. Along with Essendon, Collingwood and of course rock bottom Richmond. How sweet.

    I cannot fathom what has happened to Sydney. 

    Come on carlton break the pies fans hearts

    Why? Carlscum are the most despicable team and it’d be good to see them fall out of the eight soon. Colonwood are finished for this year anyway.

    Wow. Horrible game but brilliant last quarter. Was pulling hard for Carlton, needed that to stay top 3 in tipping, I am now bundled out to 4th and the non prize money position.

    Ouch, ouch, ouch.

    Grundy has really struggled the last few weeks.  Interesting they brought Ladhams in.  He was hopeless too but might indicate the workload has got the better of Grundy.  He looks the bog average player he did with us last year.

    Although If the Pies win, it would be funny to see the Swans only two points inside the top 4. This season producing Maximum chaos.

    If you have Carlton, Hawthorn, Collingwood and Essendon all missing finals...you must have us making it. Can't work otherwise.

    FWIW Carlton's last two games should mean they can't miss, as that's enough to get them to 14 even if they lose to Hawthorn.

    Hawthorn have to beat at least one of GWS and Carlton and then they will get to 14 given they have the bottom 2 in their final fortnight.

    GWS remains at most risk of being the side Hawthorn passes. They can beat Hawthorn tomorrow and still miss as they close with Brisbane, Fremantle and the Dogs. No guarantee to win any of those, so even with a win tomorrow they'd stall at 13.

    If you are still playing at home, I think possibly our only realistic path to finals now is for us to take GWS' spot, which requires this:

    1. We win all three (obviously) (gets us to 13)
    2. Hawthorn loses to both GWS and Carlton and take a percentage beating, such that we finish the season above them on percentage at 13-10
    3. GWS loses its other three games (Brisbane, Fremantle, Dogs) and sheds enough percentage for us to pass them, also at 13-10
    4. Collingwood loses to at least one of Sydney and Brisbane (they'd cap out at 12)
    5. Essendon loses at least two of Sydney, Brisbane and Fremantle (they'd cap out at 12.5)

    • 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.
