Man I dunno. It's a game I guess. We're lucky to be in front but we are working our backsides off and especially our backline.

What will be will be, I'd love to win but it's been a great effort to get here. Give it a red got crack!

    Predicting big second half from Clarrie and Gus - they tend to get better as the game goes on.

    True, and my word we need them! 

     

    Our defence has been fierce, the pressure has been good, not at the level of last week but we can get there. We need mids to go up a gear like a few 3rd quarter responses we’ve had this year.

    I agree was basically a basketball charging foul situation.  I don't think it should have been a free in AFL football, but it would have been very hard for Oliver to stay upright.

    Definitely a free when 50m off the ball


    Third quarters are our thing. Let's see how we go. If the Hawks get on top again they will be hard to stop.

    Oh well, we are ahead. Melksham and Hannan need to lift. And Tyson is useless

    I don't like Tyson being caught in our defensive 50.

     

    They’re worn down... we’ll crack ‘em open this quarter I reckon.

    It's all over Twitter. Fox footy saying he dived, AFL Nation asking people if he flopped. 

    But no mention of Sicilly a couple of minutes later flying out the front of the pack.

    Took Spargo 3 attempts before he hit Brayshaw for that last goal. I still wonder if he is up to it.

    He may not be, but right now, he is. His pressure is good.


    Saw Kennett on tv. Am hoping to shove it to him.


    Terrible Frost

    Macca...  we are controlling our movement into the forward 50, good to see.  Better than 1st half.

    Merge that! Dawks

    • 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.
