    We look great with extra 4 days break. 

    Long long road but will take over those AFL protected maggots.

    Absolutely! He looks dangerous whenever he gets near the ball, and when he doesn't have it, he's working for it. Lots to like, big future.

    He is the small forward we need at the moment. Tackles hard, is confident enough to go up the ground and has footy smarts. I like his hard edge

    great win dees, jones & harmes really stood up when the team needed them to. 

    i've been telling my mates all week to keep the faith but they all chose to throw in the towel. glad i stayed strong. 

    hopefully this is not another false start and we really can get going this season. 

    up the mighty demons!!!!!!!!!!

    Winning move; They benched OMAC for that last minute

    pfft, even after a desperate one-goal season-on-the-line win you want to snipe?

    For what it is worth (and I know Oscar had a few hairy moments as always),

    O. McDonald. 8 kicks, 6 marks (1 contested), 100% disposal efficiency, 0 clangers, and 10 one-percenters.

    He did his job. Nothing special or super, but he did his job.

    Story of the win really - a bunch of players who have been in seriously bad form were able to come out and at least do 'enough'.

    Best examples would be Nibbler, Hunt, Stertch and O.Mc himself.

    Meanwhile, a couple of players seemed to actually find some of their better form, led by Harmes and Hibberd obviously.

    Wanna hear something funni. 

    Eddie spaghetti said the umps were good today. 

    WTF

    What game was he watching. 

    Dumb arz 

    The umps did everything to help Whoreform - even break the rules of the game, blatantly - all the way to the half-time break. And, it showed.

    Seriously, they were bad

    The Roughead holding the ball and the non 50m were blatantly wrong and any idiot could see that

    They've had an awful year so far

    Totally agree!

    On the topic of small forwards, I like what Garlett was doing today. He doesn't have much to show for it, but he got himself into good positions, and generally looked dangerous.

    So wrapt with that win. Should’ve gone to the game in hindsight...

    Can anyone please explain that second 50m against Harmes? I saw no player run past the Hawks player at all. They didn’t show a replay either.

    Stats don't count the 2 contests he should've won but didn't even make the contest in the last quarter, resulting in 2 of the goals that Hawthorn kicked to almost pinch it

    Am away interstate so watching on tv and Fox Footy showed it in replay analysis

    I don't want to snipe either,  but Omac almost lost us the game

    Agreed. Jeffry didn’t have big stats, but he created a load of opportunities and was directly responsible for 4 of our goals from his pressure. People can continue to hate him on, and he’s not perfect (see shot at goal instead of passing to TMac), but he’s comfortably the best small forward on our list and one of the Vestberg in the league when he’s in form. His crumbing and pressure today were exactly what we’ve been missing up forward all year.

    What really pisses me off is this magical protected zone whose limit seems to vary with the whim of the umpire. Blatant similar ones not paid, blatant worse ones under the old rules (which still apply) ditto.    Since the umpires are guessing already, why not have them guess whether the player running past is likely to interfere with the player with the ball.  If not, no 50m.  Almost every one of these 'in the protected zone' penalties would require the infringing player to tear muscles to be able to change direction to interfere with the player with the ball.

    Hawthorn lost to Harmes. 

    Game was a mess, Harmes stood out like dogs balls. 

    A win is a win but my heart cannot take 3 hours of rubbish and a nail biting finish. 

    Some excellent efforts from Frost.

    And the umpires, probably 4 clear holding balls not paid against Hawthorn and a couple of iffy ones. All when we had momentum too.

    • 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.

      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?
