A percentage boost and we moved a game clear of Geelong and Hawthorn.

Bring on the Handbaggers next Saturday.

    Gawn and Oliver take a freaking bow. A quarter and a half of good footy though. JKH did ok down back after early stage fright. Brayshaw a little wasteful. A win plus % when Cats n Hawks lost so a big day for our Dees.

    Great to win especially after playing in NT last week but the turnovers are killing us. 

    We cant keep turning it over against the better teams cause they will make us pay big time. 

    Lucky there is time still to work on it.

    Gus is a gun. Awesome second half. Hogan fantastic. Oliver a champ. Gawn magnificant.

    A few passengers exposed.

    Hope jack is back next week.

    Job done eventually.

    Some of the best footy we've played for quite a while, hope we can take it forward, will need all we can next week down at Geelong.

    Bummer that we lost the Saints game. Would be sitting second now.

    Maxy was unbelievable. 

    If he doesn’t win the Brownlow there is something wrong.

    Next week will be the acid test.

    If we give a good account of ourselves (not even necessarily win), then I reckon we are on our way to September. We stink the joint up and we are a 40/60 proposition at best.

    The Doggies, like Freo, are playing a skeleton team right now. No Bont or Libba are really testing them. However, you can only play the opposition in front of you, and I was impressed after half time.

    I’m frustrated. 

    I wanted to gouge my eyes out until Oliver started hitting chests inside 50. Is it that [censored] hard?

    Excellent games by Gawn, Oliver, Brayshaw and Hogan. 

    Opposition were rubbish. I need to see us beat a good team.

    Anyone know the situation with Viney's toe? How bad is it?

    “Won’t see him until later in the year” they said on the coverage.

    They provided a good hitout for a half. Pressure was very good. Witches hats in the second.

    Funniest part of the game for me was when Brayshaw got dacked in a tackle and there was a full moon in the middle of the MCG.

    Kennedy-Harris has 7 or 8 tackles I think which is good but didn’t do much else imo. 

    Given his vfl form I was expecting more  

    Not sure if he keeps his spot next week.

    • 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.
