The club has put a video up on Salem bumping Gray as the fierce moment of the week.

Did anyone rate this play?

It was highlighted on Fox Footy as Gray covered 9.7m to get to the ball while Salem was 3.9m away yet Gray gets to the ball first. Amazing play by Gray but I find it strange that we are highlighting this bit of play.

What else is there to highlight?

We were that poor I would rather they didn't have one than put forward an unwarranted effort.

 

Let's just enjoy these Jaguar Fierce moments of the week as I don't envisage them returning next year

There would have been a few fierce moments in lounge rooms last night.  It's a shame they can't highlight those instead.

Was it really though? 

I get the whole "still putting his body on the line when the game was already over" thing, but who kept their feet and came away with the ball after the collision?  Salem. 

Gray was down on the ground winded.

Yes, if you listen to Ken Hinkley and look at the intent throughout the game and the result. They wanted it more than us and that's not usually the reason we lose but last night it clearly was.

 

It’s a joke right. Salem takes short steps and Gray goes hard. 
 

By the way, the video - Melbournes goals - is Only 1 minute 15 seconds. That’s how poor it was.

For a while last night I thought they'd have to release an "All the Goal" video this week.

Maybe we can have a different sponsor next year.

Kleenex or quilton - 10 softest moments.

Depends - 10 crap your dacks moments with the best hospital passes to a team mate.

Endless possibilities 

I think Lockart's attack on the ball in the first quarter was a lot more fierce.

  • 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.
