Can someone tell Petracca we won. Jesus. 

That's a bloke who knows that the job isn't done.  That's the maturity we want.  Be happy with the win, but we need to focus on next week very quickly.

    Shows us that he knew the pressure was on us, knew we were not good enough in Cairns, and knows it's not done yet.

    Funny - if he's going on about how great we are people would criticise him for overcelebrating, wouldn't they?

    Shame on you @dazzledavey and anyone else who wanted us to lose.

    I might get upset with things at the club but always want my boys to win

    Love Rivers and again Spargo showed his worth

    So the way I see it, we need the Hawks to pull their finger out tomorrow, but if not, either the Saints/Dockers winning sees us make the finals (to most likely be embarrassed by a better team, but hey, you never know)?

    Silly me, getting ahead of myself, we also need to win a crunch, do or die, game against a really poor team...

    Both right. Just his tone sounded liked we'd lost.

    I’ve said it before but I love Langers, his kicking less so.  He was so important in that last quarter.

    You have to wonder if we had snuck a bye in like everyone else over the last 8 weeks if we’d have got over the line in at least one of those other games. 

    The energy level was considerably different tonight.

    The Kids did it and that is our future just there.... At least they didn't chuck it in.

    Langdon is a gem. His work rate is unbelievable. 
     

    Rivers is a serious find. 
     

    Fun game to watch. Now we wait.

    100% 

    The exact right approach. We're in a position we shouldn't have been, and we have a lot of work still to do.

    Wonderful recruit.  He was everything we needed on the wing.

    Now, if someone like Baker can also step up to play a consistent game on the wing, then we would REALLY have something.

    Any chance of the Hawks pulling off a hail Mary tomorrow?

    Or a GCS win would be almost as good. Pies have Port in the last round. Both would be ideal!

    If only the whole game was just that last quarter. The rest of it made me feel sick. They tried to cheat us out of the win but the boys found a way. Thanks Rivers, Langdon, Trac, Spargo, May....add who you want.

    • 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?
