If tmac has done his ACL we can continue this awesome form into 2020

    McDonald just says he “doesn’t think he did his ACL”. Jesus Christ! 

    This year is cursed. Horrible game. Skills are embarrassing. Season needs to end fast.

    Wow.

    That scoreline hilariously, and perfectly reflects where this team is at. We're 5 points better than the Blues, thanks to a goalpost.

    A draw would have been better, because I'm sure somebody in the club will actually see today as some sort of a win.

    Even though we won, I'm still disgusted. That was a pyrrhic victory.

    How many watching from home stood up from their couches and urged the Hannan kick to at least touch the post at the end?

    Kind of sums up the season, yeah, yeah, yeah then just ploop!

    We might not be able to field a team by the end of the season the way we are going

    Don't know the last time I saw a ball sit on the goal line. Too funny.

    That kick was the perfect summation of our season. Absolute joke.

    (Was a good kick don’t get me wrong, but how it just stopped on the line?!)

    I'm happy with the win, even if most on here will be negative. 3 down on the bench for the whole last quarter and we fought out a win. Wasn't pretty, but too show that heart says something about the group

    I love footy.

    I still love all of you.

    I'll be back another day, but don't be a [censored] - just enjoy a win.  No matter how bad it is.  I'd rather a W than an L.

    Cheers.

    6 - Saty for having a whinge about the game day thread, in the game day thread, during the game. Comedy gold

    5 - MFCSS is alive and well, and something that needs some serious government funding to complete a study on

    4 - the $50 bottle of red I’m going to be getting from a bloke I work with for the win

    3,2,1 can go please themselves for all I care.

    WHen you consider it we gutsed it out in the last quarter even though I feel we were out on our feet.

    Sensational effort from Oliver, In just about every contest.

    Preuss was pretty handy actually

    I only started watching right about the time Carlton made a comeback so you can blame me.

    Hunt redeemed himself after being truly deplorable in that last quarter with disgusting skills.  Full credit to him.

    I look forward to watching the part where we dominated.

    If the focus this pre-season isn’t 100% about improving skills and decision making then Goodwin will be gone by halfway through next year.

    I've never seen it. Appropriate that it happened to us, especially this year. Like the rest of our footy this year, comedy gold (if you happen to be fortunate not to take it to heart), and tragic.

    • 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?
