That was 4 quarters of absolutely magnificent footy.

*Insert OTT hyperbole here*

 

Our kids played really, really well, and geez hasn’t Trac arrived.

Weed was a genuine target on the lead as well. I loved his whole game. Great signs.

So many good players today.

1 Vote for everyone.

(North might just be starting to fell a tiny bit nervous too haha)

 

IM AM SO PUMPED I FEEL LIKE THE MICHELIN MAN.

 

GO DEES!!!!

    I think if we can get ahead and then be in front when the game finishes, we’ll win. 

     

    Uncanny accuracy. It's either the luck of the Irish, or the kid knows his football

    Dees by five goals.

    Jackson to surprise with 2 goals.

    Weid to kick 3.

    We will keep the Hawks to no more than six goals.

    Yes, I'm probably partially drunk.  Maybe.

    Whereas this chump can't even get the margin right

     

    (But feel free to keep drinking, please)

    To everyone - enjoy it.  While it's only a win during a long season, smashing the Hawks by 7 goals is something you can't ignore.  They have embarrassed us so many times over the last decade and now it's our time to start paying them back.

    Trac was sublime.

    Gawny stood up as captain and dominated all day.

    Viney and Oliver were awesome in the engine room

    Jackson was the right pick and was terrific.

    Our backline made them look ordinary, and they have been building to this for weeks now.

    Everything is starting to come together and it is exciting to watch.

    Go Dees!

    Even the most negative demon fan couldn’t complain about that. First class performance all around.

    [censored] me .  We looked like a premiership side today!!!

    Max Gawn - A mountain.

    Petracca - best game ever.

    The good times are over for Clarko - rebuild.

    I made some serious money and ..... the maid has gone into hiding!

    Obviously our best game since the 2018 SF.

    We won all four quarters. We weathered their initial storm, then we weathered their early third quarter pressure.

    Weideman growing with confidence (would have loved him to kick that final goal). IMO a clear tick for the two tall forwards gameplan.

    Gawn unbelievable, Petracca likewise. 

    Our defensive zone is clearly working: sides are struggling to score against us provided we don't turn it over. OMac, Lever and May all worked well together again, can't deny that trio is working well.

    Langdon has been great all year and the more we learn how to use his gut running and space-saving on the wing, the better we get.

    I haven't enjoyed footy this much since 2018. Hawthorn might be a bottom 4 side this year but we outplayed them like a finals side should.

    Absolutely rapt for Weid. Has copped the abuse, copped the bad luck with injuries, copped the non-selection and now taken his chances the last couple of weeks. Good on him.

    • 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.
