    We are BACK

    That felt like a 100 point win.

    We have so much absurd talent in the under 24 bracket, it will be a crime if we dont win a flag in the next 5 years

    Any win against North is a good one, even when they (Norf) dont really want to win.

    Bank it and pump the Eddies next week.

    We are still in the season.

    Did somebody on Demonland suggest Spargo shouldn’t get a game?

    Some really good signs in the game.  Including control the tempo of the ball movement, looks so much better, albeit against a weak side.

    What is good to see is pushing on a beating sides by big margins and not letting them back in.  In the past we would have let in late goals.  Not so anymore.

    Good win tonight, did what we needed to in Adelaide ... 

    Next two weeks are massive, a depleted pies and a inconsistent dogs side. Two wins there and we will be in a real position to launch in the back end of the season.

    good game 

     

    handy % increase, LJ showed a lot as did Kozzi, Tracc building to be a star (not it just yet), love seeing Oliver continuing to burst away and Weed finding form

    Mick Malthouse said today that we have another 'wasted season' on our hands.

    Stick that where the sun don't shine, Mick.  

    Took us a quarter to settle, and to kick straight, but we smashed them off the park.  Disposal count etc doesn't interest me, as we controlled the game easily tonight.  We moved it better, we worked harder and we made it count.

    The inclusions all had a positive impact tonight, starting with Spargo.  Pickett was great, Tom did his job and Rivers showed some good signs down back.

    On that, our back line was sublime once again.  Larkey kicked a few but no one else really looked like getting near it.

    Our season is well and truly alive at 5-5 and a healthy percentage to boot.

    Bring on the filth on Saturday for the real test!

    Good to see a bit of 'killer instinct' in that last quarter.

      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.

      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.
