They should just put the padlock on the gates at GC, let the kids go back to their home state to their families.

    Sydney are rubbish.  If we can't beat them then we don't deserve to play finals.

    My only issue with today was our kicking inside 50.  It's still poor.

    Huge man crush on Brayshaw. 

    Thought he was really good today and so far this season.

    A strong win against weak opposition today.  Sing the song:  enjoy the win:  recover well;  review the game;  and move on quickly to prepare for next Sunday arvo at the 'G".  The demands increase every week from now on boys.  Go Demons.

    If we beat the Swans AND some other results happen next week are we mathematically LOCKED IN?

    Anyone who wants Gaff at Melbourne next to Gus Brayshaw needs to think again.

    If we beat the Swans, the Hawks beat Geelong and the Dogs beat the Kangas, we will be locked in to the finals after next round.

    Edit -  unless we lose our last two games by 10+ goals and Geelong win their last two by 10+.

    The AFL has a bit of a problem on its hands with this GCFC experiment.

    1 beat Swans - go to 52 points. 

    2. Hawthorn beat Geelong. Cats stay on 44

    3. Footscray beat North. Kangas stay on 44. 

     

    Then - either one of them must win both last 2 games AND makeup 12.5 % if we lost last two and surrendered 12.5%. 

    Go Dees

    Hawks

    Dogs

    Gaff will be out for Dees game I can guarantee that, so that’s a positive.

    About 5-10mins ago sue, so about 15min mark of 3rd. You’ll see a replay soon enough anyway

    Great work, got the job done. Now the real work starts.

    Shame about Smith, was looking promising today, just needs to tidy up his decision making/disposal. Hopefully it’s a confidence thing.

    Clayton Oliver is that good! 

    Would say it was a Dusty/Dangerfield display... but it was a Clayton Oliver display.

    Smashed their confidence in the 1st and just preserved ourselves for next week and beyond.

    Joel Smith the only blemish. Hope the lad is ok, doesn't look good tho.???

    Great game and always, it is fantastic to have a win - and one so convincing as this game against the Suns. However, we must all wish Joel a complete, speedy recovery from a 'dangerous tackle' slinging him to the ground. His game, today, was the best he has played for the MFC with some great intercepts and running pick-ups, good disposals and coverage of his opponents. Well done - best wishes with the recovery.

    • 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.
