    Top game from TMac, how do we bring Weid and Brown in next week? We need to be mindful not to go too tall, boy we’ve got some forward options!

    First 3 qtrs were ugly as hell, but when we actually click and play it our way we can beat anyone.

    Great win boys!

    - Hunt is officially back
    - Jackson's best game for the year
    - River's best game of the year too
    - Hibberd with plenty left in the tank, correct call to bring him in over Jetta
    - Weid is a must in next week
    - Jones is cooked, and should be dropped off the back of that, will be interesting to see what happens

    Play of the game. Hibbo's desperate dive to save that goal. He had a great game.

    Thought Hibberd was great from the start. Great call.

    Very, very pleased with that. Scrapped and fought and wrestled for an ugly lead, then blew them off the park when the young opponents tired. Super mature performance. Loved it.

    This part ?

    Big Max an absolute Leviathan of the game.

    Hes gone to another level.  Somewhere above the stratosphere.  Best player in the game.

    Jackson doesn’t count as a tall IMO so there’s that. He plays small like Watts (but will end up much much better).

    The best sides just win. They win ugly if they have to.

    Today we played putrid football for at least a half. And still win by 50 points.

    At least the Foxtel mini highlights for this game will be easy to cut, they can just play the last 20mins of the game. ?

    With May to return, Petty finding his feet and Hibbo playing a blinder, tough to see Jetta finding his way back.

    • 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?
