Lukosious omitted is interesting. I guess Hardwick is making sure he's fresh for preseason and our forward line's 2025 resurgence.

    Want the filth to win so we can knock them out of finals in rd24. Like the roos to win so the tigers get the spoon.

    Think I will go back to bed and keep dreaming.

    I don't.... I just want someone to go into Sherman Tank mode and totally put Maynard into La La Land!

    My perverse interest is in a fully interstate top 4. If this happens at most there are only two finals in Melbourne (first week) and the GF.

    Am I being unfair

    Hope Freo and Sydney can bounce back and take care of the Filths'.

    I’m all in on this too. The AFL does everything in its power to orchestrate results, so I love it when their plan fails and it costs them money.

    They’ll try spin it into a PR win about ‘the strength of the national competition’, but then give Carlton, Collingwood and Essendon the softest fixture imaginable to make sure they are all top 6 in 2025.

    I just want sydney to win to basically knock the pies out of finals contention & wreck Howes 250th.

    It would be great if somehow gc could win one away & knock off the bummers

    This will be hard, but I actually want Collingwood to win tonight:
    1/ Sydney losing really opens up the comp to "anyone can win" (sadly, not us)
    2/ More importantly, I want Pies fans to think they're a chance and for us to destroy their dreams in the last round when we waste them.
    3/ Point 2 relies on is winning in the last round.

    I admit it's too hard.
    I'm instinctively baracking for the Swans

    Have turned it off. Just can’t get into the footy much these days. Free kick, free kick,  flop, score review, score review, score review. So darn boring. Less than 10 minutes of play time and 11 free kicks.

    my favourite scenario is Sydney win but to get in the finals Cwood have to beat us by a large margin but fail, preferably because we beat them.  Haven't looked at the ladder to know if this is feasible.

    As a Mfc supporter, it's par for the course to dislike Cwood.

    But seriously this pies outfit has a particular high number of nuffies in it , so it's easy to dislike.

    Swans had better get going. If they lose tonight at home it's panic stations.

    • 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.
