Yep. We're just one good preseason away.

    I love Gawn and I know these garbage articles are just fodder for the media and have to be done.

    But Jesus if my eyes could roll out of head while I read the same thing each pre-season, I would have gone blind years ago.

    Agree, I see a heading like that and no mater what content is in the article all I read is Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah.  I know we need content on our website and we will see many over the next 4 months, hopefully come March April we can see something to be really excited about

    Your reaction is the same as most Dees supporters.

    The trouble with those words is they sound very hollow because they have never been backed up by deeds.

    I would prefer if the messaging was different. Acknowledge past failures and shortcomings. Say we’ll let our footy do the talking when the season rolls around. Something other than the usual guff. I find it a little insulting tbh.

    Yes its fluff but I do question the value of these pieces and why they have to be published at all.

    Yeah agree, I’d actually prefer it if the club kept a bit quiet and Max just said, hopefully our actions will speak loader than words 

    Leave it at that

    I'd be happy for the club to can all the shop talk until March then drop a new documentary. Until then Max could talk about something he has a better handle on like jaffles or coffee.

    Signal in the red flags.

    The media knows exactly which club (clubs) to get outlandish delusional quotes from.

    We are the gift that keeps on giving this time of year.

    This was said to me 30 years 'Object oriented design is the way of the future and has been so for the last 10 years'.

    Not quite sure why I am sharing that.

    Anyway could I just say that I have been ready for success since 1965.  I think the team is too and if they dont get it they will go elsewhere.

    This is talking the house down in preparation for training the house down. It's like a pre-season for pre-season.

     

    Actions, Max. We're not interested in any words, unless they involve me winning Tattslotto.

    I'm glad he's positive, and he should be as there are some guys that can seriously play in our team. Time to make something of it.

    Christ this club just can’t help itself. It loves to talk and that’s about it.

    How about shutting up and just getting to work?

    • 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.

    • 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?
