Must have a good coach if we can still win when we are as terrible as the matchday thread would suggest.

Demonland logic:

Round 1 2020: 26 point loss in Perth = season over, we are terrible

Round 1 2021: 22 point win at the G = season over, we are still terrible.

 

Not perfect, but plenty of positives.

 

Pretty much what I expected. An uninspiring win against a severely undermanned Freo. May and Lever will keep us in many contests this year.

A Round 1 win is welcome but none of the other teams will be shaking in their boots watching that performance.


In the 8!!

Go you demons!

 

Steven May and Jake Lever were incredible really. As good as I've ever seen from a defensive duo in our colours. 

Won that purely on talent rather than workrate.

Clearances/stoppages and defensive running by mids still a massive issue.

Lot to like about our next generation though, thought Jordon was great, Sparrow cracked in hard all day, Kozzy was a sparkplug, and Rivers and Jackson showed snippets.

Lever sensational, as was his partner May. Great to see TMac find a patch of form too.

ANB and Spargs leading the way for inside 50 delivery, but need their team mates to take notice.

A front-running win.

Got the job done. Will benefit from Viney, Weid, Ben Brown etc being back. Might expect Brayshaw to improve in the coming weeks given his impacted preseason.

Spargo was good to see today. Jordon very solid debut.


4 points. Move on to next week.

Lever has improved out of site. I was his biggest critic but he's really come on


I think we’ll improve. The skills were poor but the intent was good. 
 

Concerned about clearance after watching the Dogs and now Freo smashing us. Once a strength.....

Missed viney IMO without may and lever we lose that game and spargo I thought was really good for all the haters, May bog

  • 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.
