Good to get the win but to think we beat them by 100 or so points last time, when we had a decent forward line.

    A win by a point, even after a terrible game is so much better than a loss by a point after a fantastic game.

    Can’t wait to watch the 4 quarter replay of this classic. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favour and stick hot pins up your taint instead. 

     

    Both Gold Coast’s supporters will be fuming. 

    Even those 2 will not believe the last 2 minutes of the game...

    TERRIBLE GAME.  BUT SO MANY INJURIES.  HIBBERT LONG TERM INJURY   MELKSHAM AND LEWIS BOTH PROBABLY OUT.  ALREADY GOT 3 OR 4 OTHERS PLAYING ON ONE LEG   THEY'LL HAVE TO GIVE THE BOOT STUDDER A GAME SOON.

    a long term injury does that provide us with another pick in the mid season draft?

    For decades, I've seen teams like Hawthorn and the Swans play like rubbish in games like this and then snatch a win, often from us. Now , we're doing it. Good.

    Exactly Demonised.  Seen too many the other way ...it's about time and shows we have some true grit within this group.

    Honestly thought Harmes was just going to kick through it and go for goal. But thank god Macca kicked it off the ground.

    Did Harmes actually mean to hit up TMc, or was it a shank. Not sure.

    Good point. They get the job done with 49 seconds to go

    Well done Marty Hore

    Christ 66-44 inside 50's. Gee we need to get better at this and start converting these entries into goals.  

    We have recorded back to back wins. 

    Anyway tomorrow we can get the paper and read about a win. Better than reading about a loss.

    Which ones?

    There was one at the 12 minute mark of the 2nd quarter, and another one right at the start of the 4th.

    That may well have been the worst game of the year. 

    It can’t be - we won. The St Kilda game was a stinker

    I see improvement in this weeks effort over our previous games this year. Yes it was at times putrid especially the way we went into our forward 50. But we continued to go win the ball back and pound it forward again time and time again. We will be better for the run, if we did not kick so poorly for goal we would have won by 5 goals instead of a point.

    Happy with the win. Better that the westcoast does not see us as serious contenders for next weeks game.

    Great to be on the end of a last second win for a change.

    Harmes looking to be unselfish almost cost us as Tmac dropped the simple mark but thankfully got enough on it to get a score

    I think Harmes just fluffed the kick.

    He may have some concussion concerns.  He belted his head on the ground at one point and then spend almost ten minutes on the bench while Dec rucked.

    Agreed. He kicked the exact same goal last week. He was obviously going for goal, but as with every other kick in this game, it was a miss.

    The GCS have also found some heart in that time.

    • 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?
