I hope every single Melbourne supporter enjoyed every minute of that today.  

That performance could not have gotten any better, and after the last decade and with what we've put up with it's so satisfying to put Carlscum to the sword.

And think about this... Hogan had just one goal.  Oliver and Viney were relatively quiet.  Hibberd was tagged out of the game.  Yet we still kicked 25 goals and made the Blues look like an Under 11 side.

Melksham was BOG for me and what a recruit he has been.  Not only did he kick 5 but he set up heaps with his sublime skills.  McDonald kicked a bag, ANB got in on the act, Brayshaw continues to get better and better while the kids like Fritsch and Spargo are doing the same.  Just a total team performance.

Special mention to Bull Smith as well - he battled manfully in the ruck and did some excellent work around the ground.

I love this bloody club and I hope you all do, too!  DEMONS!!!!

    Great Win. Huge scores back to back. Percentage is red hot. Momentum on our side. Everyone lined up for a goal or 4.

    Go Dee's!

    Just kidding, that was so enjoyable and to the fat Carlton loser who was giving everyone the finger and swearing in the first quarter and then disappeared, go suck a sack of turds!

    Backline superb, and the what's making this possible. Also, Jordan Lewis, you can't buy what he brings.

    Jake Lever had more possessions than Clayton Oliver.

    What a time to be alive.

    Gut wrenching end to the game, with Tommy missing that easy shot on goal.  He sure is a party pooper!!

    I can't believe Max Gawn ran over the mark at the quarter time siren. Max, you are paid a lot of money to do the basics right. You killed any momentum we had going into the huddle.

     

    Am I doing it right, @poita?

    The key was that they played as a unit. And all of a sudden we have five or six forward options at any one time.

    • 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.
