It was a bit of a battle but in the end, the Dees prevailed after a few heart flutters.

    It was pretty awesome watching Lewis kick a goal after the siren after being booed all game following the round 2 fiasco. Blues supporters were burning.

    We'll win by 80+ imo.

    Only thing that would please me more than another win by the same margin again would be proving their medicos to be the liars that they are.

    Looking at our team above we really did have a makeshift midfield against them that day. Some big names missing.

    Hey @Demonland - recently your centre-line has been represented by an amused emoticon for some reason. At first I thought it was me, but I think now it's you.

    Looking like an almost perfect day for Footy next Sunday

    16 degrees maximum with light winds and 0.4mm of rain (30-40% chance).

    Strangely similar to that day against the Hawks recently....... (oh Hell !)

    Great point.  We had only 1 A grader in the midfield in Oliver.  They had Cripps, Murphy, Gibbs, Curnow,...

    Different story this week.

    Oliver, Jones, Viney, Tyson, Harmes (building into this role), Gawn (back to best c.f. last year),

    Salem also missed that day. I found that game one of the most nerve-racking last season for some reason. 

    That was the “ What a ball from Neville Jetta” game.

    I am worried about this week. We should win but it will be tight.

    Hope Oliver plays H2H on Cripps.

    I remember thinking despite Carlton being an average side it was one of our best wins of the year because we were absolutely smashed with injury for that match

    Too right! Cripps needs a lesson in execution.

    This is a distinct danger game. We should win, and win well, but Carlton will put in for four quarters. Will we?

    My favourite moment from last year.  Carlton had players out everywhere.  If we lost that contest we lost the game.  Just the speed he gets back to his feet and sprints to the right spot.  I could watch it all day.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
