Leaving tomorrow morning. Probably won't be back for a while so ..... Statute of limitations. 

Damn. Well I was looking forward to catching up with some fellow Dees, hopefully next time. I’ll be over for the first final (wherever it is).

    Perfect record against the Weagles at the new ground 2 from 2.

    Not a bad record given we've only played one game there.

    God I love Vanders toughness! Some of his tackles and challenges where critical, blokes are always looking for where he is lurking.  Thoughts on the elbow? I’m assuming a fine? Or 12 months out of the game?

    To Saberfang and the other clowns who spent the entire week bagging the playing group, about time you all had some faith, it won't happen this year but we are heading in the right direction.

    Massive effort today by all and showed mental toughness when they fought to get the lead back

    We got a good run from the Umpires I thought considering it was over there. 

    You’re joking I presume?

    For all the flak our forward system gets its the first time the eagles have conceded 90 points since round 1.

    Go dees!

    Okay, THAT was the omen we were waiting for! Hope your kid is having a f**king great time right now. Out in the back yard playing the grand final as Max.

    Hah. I jumped through the roof when Melksham put us back in front (geez WC would be spewing how easily he got off the chain) and nearly burst in to tears when Kent put it through. That was the biggest stress relief feeling I’ve had in many years. I love this club.

    That last 8 minutes was nail biting.... i was just glad to be on the other side of a close win in a big match against a rated club.  The last i can recall in that situation was QB last year.  Super relieved

    Must admit when they got a point up that was it for me couldn’t watch check scores 10 minutes later and we are 3 goals up, nearly fell of my chair that’s a sort of win that can release the mental shackles

    I have legit been crying since that Kent goal. My daughter and missus think I'm an idiot. They clearly dont understand what this [censored] club has done to us supporters for over a decade

    It might sound silly but I thought West Coast hitting the front as ‘early’ as they did was helpful. It refocused and galvanised us. So incredibly proud of all of the players. A fantastic effort over there. 

    Shout out to the recruiting staff. What did we give up for Hibberd & Melksham? Where were Tom McDonald,  Hannan, Harmes, Jetta and Fritsch drafted? 

    What a day. Let’s all get to the G next week and bring back a home final.

    • 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?
