Not sure if it’s been mentioned but my favourite part of today’s game was Trac running straight past $cully to win the ball and then push him away.  Loved it!!!

Moment in time, can't plan those things!

    Think playing on the smaller grounds is really going to suit our game style this year.

    It must be hurting Saints fans seeing how well he’s playing. We’ve had a few early draft burns but Trac looks to be what we’ve been crying out for.

    I have to agree with this.  Are Metricon and the Gabba smaller grounds?

    Yes it is. I have sent a text to every single saints supporter in my phone asking how they feel about it.

    I'm pretty sure the only ground as big as the MCG is Optus Stadium.

    I won't lie - I was pacing in the loungeroom watching halfway through that last quarter - only 7 goals up wasn't a sure thing

    But gees I clapped hard all afternoon. LOVED Weid's leading patterns presenting to the ball. We just used the ball so well inside forward 50, it just was beautiful to watch. Lucky I've got Kayo, I'm going to watch it again. Great team win. No passengers.

    Thought Frost was one of their best. And I'm ready to adopt Kossie. He's awesome.

    but I finally caught up with the maid.

    All is well at The Manor!!!!

    You are still awake Uncle! You were into the Shiraz early in the first half so assumed you would be non compus after that win.

    First 4 qtr performance for years. Showed composure when Hawks were coming in the 3rd.

     

    This was the big thing for me. Great first half then hawks adjust a few things, come out cracking in the third quarter and kick the first two. And you think here we go again. Normally we lose confidence but we did not panic, didn't lose our shape and ended up winning the quarter. You could see it took the wind out of Hawthorns sails and we had it back on our terms.  it was game over.

    Assume Neale is one and he has been the best player in the comp this year by a distance.

    Looking forward to Oliver playing on Neale next weekend.

    Finally a four quarter effort. 
    And the structural changes with a second tall forward and a second true tall defender has completely changed our game. It was a no brainer and I’m glad finally they’ve figured it out. 
    Jackson being so mobile actually makes us look better than Tmac because he is good at ground level. I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing him and Weid getting the next 3-4 weeks together to see how things develop. Jackson can also more than hold his own in the ruck which is very important as it allows Gawn more time to play in the defensive half where he dominates. 
    Omac has been wonderful the last two weeks and I hope all the haters can finally get over their biased opinions against him.

    The best part is Kozzi has no idea what he is going to do next so how can the opposition predict it?!?

    So good to have 3 decent tall fwds as we will need to rotate at times with so many 5 day breaks

    Clarkson was actually magnanimous in defeat. Said how good Melbourne was. Didn't make a comment like "they're not that good", which he did after the loss to Jee-long.

    I think that's what is called 'thinking on your feet'?.

    Good win, but we need to back it up. Hawthorn are in a different place to us. We need to beat a team in the 8 before we start thinking we are out of Hell. Its a good start and the game was enjoyable to watch.

    Loved it when Viney smashed Omera in a tackle and got the free kick. 
     

    Absolutely loved it.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      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?
