A good result today is getting game time into players and no injuries, the score line doesn’t really matter, particularly with how many VFL list players we have in there.

Rivers has had a fair bit of the ball off half back. 

He looks very good.  Love his composure.


Please correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm not watching it all the time, but it seems our skill level and decision making has been pretty good so far.  Watching Spargo hit Brown on the lead at half forward was good to see, and there seems to be some method to our use going forward, rather than long bombs to contests.

It’s been good but this side is miles from our Best 22 as is theirs. Take the result of this match with a grain of salt. 


Harrison Petty playing?! He looks....different.

Of course.  But it's good to see none the less.

Definitely not the tackling pressure there at the moment but some good runs forward

Another behind to Brown from a tight angle. 

1.3.9 to 1.1.7

You must be there. Live stream is about 5 seconds behind your posts.


I think brown will be more than handy and gave up nothing for him.

No. There are Casey top up players wearing random numbers. 

Gotcha!

  • 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.
