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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
