    3 from 3 (I refuse to count the Essendon game as we played next to no one in it, plus it doesn't suit my narrative...)

    Pretty much no injuries (fingers crossed for AVB and Weid)

    Some encouraging signs, especially with the defensive unit

    Gawny made a successful comeback

    Fritsch kicks 5, Milkshake 4

    We'll roll the Eagles by 10 goals in Round 1.

    Bring it on!

    Always good to beat those ugly brown and golds, in anything.

    I’ll take credit for this stirring victory.
     

    When I ran into the boys at the airport yesterday, my inspirational words to Jake Lever were obviously passed onto the rest of the group, lighting the fire in the belly on their quest for glory. 
     

    You’re welcome...

    A good hitout. There is a lot of competition for spots on the flight west for R1.

    Couldn't watch any of the game. A poster talked about how good defence looks.

    What role did May have in this re organising etc. Same query for lever? 

    Thoughts?

    BOG for me just ahead of Fritter. Lever really impressed and Lockhart is a beauty.

    Bedford looked dangerous

    Bedford looked impressive from limited minutes, will certainly give Pickett a run for his money for that small forward role if not rd 1 early into the season

    Ball movement infinitely better with Langdon and Tomlinson running the wings

    Wouldnt mind 10 of Bayley Fritsch

    Was great seeing May looking happy out there and the back 6 settled

    Lockhart massively impressive down back, great composure with ball in hand and should make his way into the rd 1 side

    As hard as it is being optimistic about this club at times, this preseason has been exceptional and the boys have set themselves up well for a good crack at the season. Will have nowhere to hide and no one to blame if this all goes belly up.

    Go Dees!

    Defensive setups looked vastly superior to last season. Hawks might have got out the back once in the entire game. Lockhart looks at home down back and for me he is best 22.

    Not all perfect, but it didn't have to be, and we did something we haven't done in a long time, take control and run a game out! We actually look fit. So many positives. Fritter, Tomlinson, Trac, Langdon, Lockhart, Lever, Milkshake. Like what I see of Jackson and Bedford.

    I think we'll beat the Eagles in R1. We're coming in with some form and by the looks of it self belief. Can't wait!

    WOW! Tomlinson and Langdon it is amazing to have two very talented ready made players extra experience to boost our stocks.

    That is what you call depth. 

    Jackson,  Lockhart and Bedford   future  looked good for us.

    • 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?
