Well done Frosty. Keep sticking it up the haters & the doubters.  Played on their talls as well as Walters at various times and was terrific.  Doubtless, the haters will only focus on the 2 mistakes instead of the 10 positives.

    Was interesting to see May barking at the players in the back 50 and setting them up from all standing bunched together.

    Just need to focus on the younger players and hope like hell they learn to settle and calmly hit their target.

    Noticed that, who does he think he is Jordan Lewis ?

    But that is the value of experience, because Lever is only 70 games approx and some people expect him to be the backline guru

    Frosty was great. Can we please move Frisch forward, his disposal is still a worry down back,

    Agree on both.

    Frost's last quarter arguably won us the game.

    From the top of the ponsford I had a great view of his intercept mark in the last. Made the decision early and backed himself in, then made the next kick. Critical contest as we scored a terrific gogoa l after to tacking it down the ground. 

    I want fritter kicking the ball to out forwards.

    Petty was excellent and May played well. Marty hore was solid again.

    Jones should still be ashamed for that 50 metre penalty. I just watched it a couple of times

    shocking to do that

    The turn-around in form from a handful who have been down was good.  Lockhart and May were very good.  The desperation was good.  Flying the flag for team-mates was very good.  Hope next week is good!

    Didn't mean to put a downer on it for you guys who watch for the wins in pointless games in failed seasons. Enjoy it.

    Just my opinion that we were fortunate with their injuries. Obviously a win is a good outcome.

    It’s just pathetic that it’s your first and only response to a win. You deserved the whack you got for it.

    Yeah, we were fortunate they were two down. Thanks Captain Obvious. Doesn’t mean we absolutely would’ve lost without it. So what you said isn’t even true.

    Fritsch has gotta stay wing/forward, he had some ripper kicks inside 50 today (whilst also acknowledging some average ones).

    Just plain dumb by a captain who should know better. Walters was always going to go down like he had been shot.

    Yep, we have lost plenty due to injury during a game. I have no problem enjoying this result.

    Wouldn't have won in Freo weren't two players down. 

    As everyone tells us on here, injuries, no excuse!

    One of our biggest weaknesses is on field leadership and organization. We got Lever and May not only for their footballing ability, but because they’re leaders and generals. Great to see May organizing troops and playing well again today. He’ll be a huge asset for the backline for the next few years. Love him!

    Petracca had a great game today. Really got involved and threw his weight around. Great to see him switched on for longer periods and staying involved. Hopefully this is the start of his return to damaging form.

    It's the story of the year.

    Leading the inside 50's and not kicking enough score to win.

    Maybe this is the resurgence with Viney, TMac and Weed doing well

    Just of late, Petracca seems to have developed a footy IQ. I've been negative about him for a little while now but there are small signs in regards to getting into the right spot, making smart decisions and not trying to do too much in possession.

    Maybe, but only becuase Walters flops every game

    12 point turnaround 

    Not what a captain should do. 

    Do it after the goal is scored at least!!

    Feels good to have a win.

    Goes to show that when players such as Viney and McDonald play to their potential we look a much better side.

    Forward line looked much better, with a bit more space and good movement.

    Dumb and all as it was...

    It was better than the first game against Port where we stood by and watched Max cop it from them without a whimper.

    At least we had some passion in the game and Jones was supporting a teammate.

    If I had my choice I would take this.

    • 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?
