    I got 5 and was convinced I got almost all correct. ☺️

    same here

    shows how good we all are at forgetting such a dismal decade :(

    Mind you anyone who really knew how many Dawes kicked to win the goal kicking has serious problems ?

    Seven. Missed geelong score,nominated Green as captain just as I realised it was james McDonald...

    Depressing questions. Esp. 186

    6/10. Better than the team across the period.

    7. I thought we had more coaches, less top-half finishes and Geelong kicked about 999 points. The veil of negativity weighs heavy

    9/10

    Bloody top half/bottom half question got me!

  • Quote

    I should have got nine, but while I was pretty sure of one of the answers couldn't bring myself to accept that Dawes really was our leading goal-kicker with 20 in 2014. I blame Jack Watts. Also, who was Melbourne's captain to start the decade? It depends on what date is considered the start of the decade.

    10/10 but guessed at least 3.

     

    Pretty sad really. I thought I'd repressed most of that decade. I guess not.

     

    Do MFC memberships come with free therapy? Asking for a friend.

    8/10. Tried to be a smart alec by not choosing Watts for kicking the winning goal in the QB clash. Thought it was another trick question like the top half question as he kicked the sealer. Was trying to remember our player that kicked the go ahead goal.

    The 186 question should have a pass option.

    8/10 Have been able to erase everything other than 186 from that Geelong game. Dawes got me  with 20, I was over optimistic with 25.

    I don’t think we trailed.  Collingwood came storming back, we were up by 4, then Watts kicked the sealer, not the ‘winner’.

    Fasalo I think kicked a goal after that which brought the margin back down to 4 points.

    Flawed question.

    Thanks 39. I was trying to remember if it was Hannan or Trac that put us in front but you’re spot on. We never actually trailed in the last quarter.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
