The love for that fat man baby Ablett from the commentators. What a joke. 

Yes he’s been a superstar but he was crap last night. He isn’t a champion everytime he lays a tackle. Seriously!

    We’ve done well. This is now a free hit. Very proud of what we’ve achieved and beating the Cats who are one of our bogey sides is a big deal.

    Just watched Jetta on this

    http://www.afl.com.au/stats/stats-pro#/discover/CD_I281280/Jetta-Neville

    If anyone has seen a better 7 possession game in defence...well, 

    And his AFL ratings are below, which really make a mockery of what is useful in providing value to a side...

    Our forward pressure was insane. We will go a long way to winning next week if we replicate that performance AND nail those scoring opportunities. 

    We must convert our scoring opportunities next week. We won’t win kicking 1 goal 10 against the Dorks and we won’t get as many opportunities as last night.

    If it goes Cats, Hawks, Pies, Tigers, that will be pretty much the perfect 4 opponents.

     Breaking through the 2 teams who have given us the most pain through our dark years, then a preliminary final vs our ancient foe. Then a GF vs the defending champions. You couldn't script that better, and there's no 4 teams I'd like to beat more than them if we could do it.

    One week at a time though… 

    And it would mean we play each final at the MCG rather than having to go to Perth.

    Hopefully the AFL takes note of what happens when you give the dees a Friday night game in Melbourne.

    You get 91K fans and a cracking game.

    take note again next week afl, before working the fixture for next year.

    I think Gawny had a crack about Melbourne playing two Friday nights in a row during his interview with Eddie on Fox last night.

    Jordan Lewis just said on 3AW, the crowd last night was in the top 3 crowds he’s ever played in front of. He said the noise and support for us was phenomenal.

    No more clapping (polite applause) allowed !!!   only yell and scream for the mighty Dees.

     

    Make Noise... and Raise Hell Demons.

    An understandable mistake dc. That fellow is a very stylish dresser. I suspect we share the same tailor and fashion consultant.

    Never had this feeling before at all in my sort life barracking for the Dees... here’s to hoping something maybe brewing very soon!

    A lot of cheap late boat-anchor bumps etc.  A pale image of his former self.

    • 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.
