Very happy. Beat them in every facet of the game. Wasteful with the inside 50s early but that last quarter did a lot to atone for that. Took a good step.

    Let me guess the first post disparaging the win.

    Rubbish opposition?

    We should have won by 100?

    The kicking issue again raises its ugly head but a great win to kick enough good goals to compensate.

    Foxfooty sucks. Cut short the telecast.

    What about the constant replays and coverage of Dew sitting on the bench during live play. Pathetic!

    I will take any 11 goal win we can muster. 

    There was a very solid contribution from most players but still plenty of upside if we can use the ball better. We can and we should. 

    We absolutely must keep it going next week. 

    Good game in the end but not without the traditional Melbourne moments.

    Cant believe we are one below hawks by 3 %.

    We are a way better team with oodles more talent.

    That Round 4 game was an anomaly.

    Pretty sure they were just paying due diligence to make sure he didn’t require an oxygen tent.

    You reckon? 

    We did well tonight, but last night's battle between Swans and Hawks was worth watching. 2 very good sides. 

    We are not there yet,regrettably.

    Two ways of looking at this, not mutually exclusive

     

    was a good win, against ok opposition , on the road which somewhat makes up for the Hawks tigers losses

     

    however FMD the kicking needs fixing as does f50 efficiency. Could easily have been a 100 pt win - many of those goals were not under pressure - the extra 5-6-7!goals could really have shot us to top 4 and provided a bugger against some losses.

     

    its a tight lipped chargrin win - which is a plus if you think about it as it shows how far we've come and how our expectations are much higher and aligned with possibilities we know are within reach 

     

    go dees let's do the same to carrrrtlton

     

    apologies for rant spent 90 mins putting 3yo to bed and missed last 1/4

    Did what we had to do and now look forward to next week. If Hawkins this week was a precedent setter then Curnow is looking at a spell for next week’s match.

    I don't think so Wiseblood.

    One should keep things in context.

    Hawthorn is not Gold Coast. They haven't been since the late 60s. It is a little premature to compare us with a side with 10 flags in 35 years l would have thought. 

    Maybe it is just me though. My memory of Froggy kicking his goal is a little dim.

    Good win put the foot on the throat in the last which was nice but should have been a fare way ahead by 3 quarter time, must beat Carlton then sets up a good game against Adelaide, I feel like we are just starting to get rolling

    The vast gap between the two sides was evident from around the five minute mark to the final siren.  We absolutely bossed them, as we should have.

    The talent in this side is super exciting, and Fritz and Spargo are very much part of that exciting group.

    No, we shouldn't keep anything in context after a 69 point win.  Leave that for another day and enjoy the victory.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
