Not in any order:

1. ABC multi-call was the best by the length of the straight: "Their run is a pleasure to watch". (After Brayshaw's goal'.

2. Kysaiah Pickett needs to be honoured on the forward line. IMO there were a couple of occasions where KP could have been 'hit up'.

3.TMAC didn't have a big impact but did some fantastic team things such as the unacknowledged love-tap to Petracca resulting in the dribbled goal.

4. Brayshaw was magnificent, and I don't just mean the uncle.

5.Tom  Sparrow bears an uncanny resemblance to Canelo Alvarez.

6. Alan Jakovich's post-match gig with Gaddy Lyon is immortal.

7. All demon detractors are forgiven: you know red and blue are the best colours.

    As evidenced by his appearance in the rooms after the Grand Final, Shane Woewodin still fits into his 2000 Grand Final guernsey.  FMD I'd give organs to be able to fit into anything I was wearing in 2000.

    Max Gawn is the best captain in the AFL

    James Harmes delivered the most sumptuous inside 50 kick of the year (century?) to set up Fritsch and kick-start the revival

    Christian Petracca produced one of the all-time great Norm Smith performances

    Luke Jackson is going to be some footballer

    Jake Bowey thinks this s**ts easy

    As Daisy explained once the switch is turned On - Dees don’t have an off switch, we just keep going until the siren sounds.

    I've still got an item of clothing from 2000 that fits me perfectly.  It's a very nice scarf, too.

    Our defence is so much better than any other team's it's not funny. And we have the best midfield in the game, in the right age bracket too

    • 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.
