Those that knocked these doco's when they were first launched should have a rethink ... they are well done, are getting clicks which translate into memberships and sales, and provide fans with rare inner sanctum viewing the likes of which we haven't seen since 'Whiteboard Wednesday' with Cameron !!!

    I hate heights, gives me a cold sweat just watching that as I take a glimpse through my fingers covering my eyes.

    Melbourne - We don't have to touch the nurry as much. There's our 2020 slogan right there.

    By God I’m pumped for Sunday fortnight. 
     

    After watching the Eagles yesterday I’m confident we’re in with a very real chance of doing them over here in Perf.

    That was a great insight into the club. The boys look united, hungry and most of all happy. 
    Some pretty good ingredients right there.

    ?????

    Must confess I've never heard the term "nurry" before.  Where does it come from?

    Confirms yet again that the coaches watch a different game to us.

    Fantastic finale to a great series. Kudos MFC.

     

    Good Finish to an interesting journey. 
    Jack was seriously peeved off after the vote, but after last year we needed a clean sheet. 
    the biggest lesson to learn from last year i think, is that when Dave Misson announced he was leaving, he should have packed up his things, have a few beers and a meal with the club and leave. 
    Sticking around for a full season after giving notice is never on. 
    His mind was elsewhere, we were so not fit. Continually over run late in games  

    We should go alright this year, but 17 other clubs will have watched these 5 parts as well  

    How Tough are Demons?

    I know it's all in jest (I hope), but only Melbourne supporters could find a bugbear about a computer screen. Do you think Tigers or Hawk supporters talk that way?

    A very good series that I really enjoyed.

    the showed the amount of work that goes into supporting the players and building the team. It reminded me that there is so much more to a footy club than what we see at a game or on the training track. 
     

    a good insight into the club and well done.

    Really enjoyable 5 episodes. Great insight

    Think goody handled the captain change really well and great how he addressed it front of the whole group would go a long way to helping Vin save a bit of face.

     

    Super pumped for the year ahead. They've done the hard work time to reap the rewards (fingers/toes everything x-ed)

    Good stuff.

    The focus in the meetings on the enjoyment the players got from being -60 in possessions in a low-scoring practice match is good to see IMO.

    Do you mean the camera angles (with the behind the goals camera from the North game)?

    The game must get pretty tiresome if you live in it with that amount of detail as shown with so many coaches and reviews and meetings and rules about where you should be once the ball is turned over at point A, etc.

    As much as I love it I think that would ruin it for me.

    • 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?
