Because the AFL are always looking to promote their two start ups wherever possible.

Andy if you are still grumpy just grab a few highlights from previous 6 weeks and enjoy again mate.

    How can any demon supporter be grumpy today with the news of TMac re-signing!

    I've turned that frown upside down since then but now you have just reminded me about Jesse and I'm grumpy again.

    Don't get me started on Nic Nat getting the Ruck gig ahead of Maxy in the AFL Team of the Week.

    Too bad he missed that goal after the siren , would have finished with 6.

    Times are tough.

    Jesse's was from a much tighter angle. Ablett's was just further out.

    his check side was equally good. only took half a pace to his left.

    What is being overlooked is that Jesse ran to made good position to receive, looked for options, found none to his liking, decided that the best option was to shoot, changed stride, steadied and kicked the perfect goal from that position. Pure, pure skill.

    No fluke but a considered, premeditated shot from a severe angle while on the move. That's what sets it apart from all the others.

    It's what we have come to expect from Jesse. His football smarts and execution in his many roles are exceptional.

    I simply do not care about these side shows. I don't care about goal of the week, mark of the year, the Brownlow votes or the opinions of football media etc.

    I care about one thing winning games up to and including the GF.

    They can say what they like I simply don't care.

    Speaking of Jesse, when was the last time a Demon kicked back to back bags of five?

    EDIT: Just had a look, best I could find was Russell Robertson back in 2005.

    This is a job for @Supermercado

    I will stand corrected but given that we were lucky to score five goals in a week most of the time after 2007 that Russell Robertson's 7 and 6 in Round 20-21, 2005 are the winners.

    Next was Neitz with 6/6/5 in Round 16-18, 2004 (also had 8/5 in Round 20 and 22, 2006 but missed the game in the middle).

    What about +5 goal Melbourne players since 2000 full-stop. It's an eclectic selection - will update if I've missed any.

    This hasn’t really got anything to do with this weeks goals of the week but I’ll put it here anyway. 

    I’ve been thinking the last couple of weeks how with all the goals we’ve kicked over the last month, none of them have been jaw dropping pulled out of your arse goals, or flukes or lucky bounces. 

    They’ve pretty much all been standard, well structured goals. Shows how well everything is working. 

     

    [censored] we’re boring.

    Agreed. We must have had about 10 goals against Adelaide that were as good as the GWS nominated one. If this is what it is like to be boring, then bore the hell out of me! ?

    I think Jesse's should be goal of the week just for the comedy gold going on in the background with Gawn and his opponent while Hoges was kicking it.

    • 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.
