All those who carped about Melbourne not beating top 8 eight sides can now officially GAGF.  We are worthy finalists and will do some damage. Bye bye cats next week.

Also all the Jones haters can GAGF - top game from the Captain.

    What happened to Tyson?

    Gawn kicked the ball of the ground and collected some part his arm (close to his wrist I think). Think it’s a fracture of some sort.

    Harmes did an outstanding job on Kelly. 

    Harmes was fantastic. Smashed Kelly and collected 29 disposals and a goal himself (Kelly with 19 touches).

    Just think. We are a St Kilda debacle away from third.

    On the other hand, 3 of the 4 teams that smashed us are in the four so perhaps were are where we deserve to be.

    We learnt from 2017 that percentage counts and to score as much as possible and deny them easy goals.

    Today we learnt that to be a top team, we cannot concede losses to inferior teams.

    We took the game on with nothing to lose.

    Thats when we play at our best. Quick, clean, aggressive footy.

    Loved it.

    Bring on the Cats!

    BT on seven said that we have the second highest % which is the first time since 1964 we have achieved this  

    We all know what happened in 1964.

    Harmes is seriously good. Has had a great month of football. Very damaging player. Pops up at the right times. Everything we need leading into finals. Also, we play 110% without Hogan in the side. If we hold onto Jesse I hope we play him in defense next year. We look a far better side without him in the forward line.

    GWS looked like they didn’t want to play us again in the finals with some of their efforts in the 3rd qtr.

    Terrible for Tyson and Kent...   Tyson still might get up for the final but Kent is done... the bloke can not take a  trick.

    Salem is mint. Most underated player in our side.

    Roosy summed it best during the week when he compared him to Jarrad McVeigh in his prime.  He can be a general across half back for us for years to come.

    Triple M just reported that players sent coaches and staff out of the meeting room.  Suspect some sort of pact was being hatched!

    Players are really owning this - absolutely beautiful!

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
