Alright lets build up a great lead then take our good players off towards the end. 

Bring it home well Melbourne 

 

from the AFL site

at least one positive from this mess:

Christian Petracca recorded quarter-highs for disposals (12), contested possessions (nine) and clearances (four). He was the only player to record more than one kick (four) at an efficiency of 100 per cent.

    We actually need to kick a swag of goals considering what is happening in Hawks dogs and considering north will win by 1000 points tomorrow

    Glad the dinner party I’ve been hosting has just finished and I’ve missed having to witness that scoreline


    Just now, —coach— said:

    Are north playing Frankston?

    They're glad they're not

    Great kick inside 50 from Billy Stretch there.  More of that would be great.

    ANB misses a sitter.  Anyone surprised?  I'm not.

    Nibbler doesn’t deserve to hold his spot on this form.

    ANB is trying his hardest to prove his defenders wrong.

    Sh|| t ! Really??? The wevver forecorst (say in tony grieg voice) said 25(ish).

    start pulling players to rest!!

    I know his opponent isn’t a world beater, but Frost has been very very good


    I notice Jones is getting caught a lot more this year. He's just that tad bit slower now. I fear the end might come for him a bit quicker than we though.

    is garlett still on ??? or just having a quiet one again

    He's kicked a goal and everyone said that was enough 

    My love for BF is huge, so many modern players would have tried to milk that high contact, he is just getting on with things, such a ball player.

     

    ANB golly ... cant hit a barn let alone a door!

    Get off Neal Bullen

    • 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.
