Well no signs of a flag hangover folks.

132 to 44 for the no coverage.

    Just put a pineapple on BB for the Coleman. Paying $21!

    Preseason last year I put on a multi. Dees flag, petracca Brownlow, brown Coleman. Massive odds.

    20 minutes latest news came out about Brown's knee.

    Any major injuries? 

    May went off and never came back, but apparently was on the bench getting a massage, so maybe just tightness? 

    Hopefully we get an update on Salem soon.

    The Oliver/ Trac chest bump celebrations summed this game up.

    Nice little cameo by Weideman in the ruck.

    I think Ben Brown was the only player who crumbed a goal which to me was the only disappointing aspect.

    Other than that great effort.

    Perhaps Salem for BOG

    remember when we used to be the side that said 'hey, we kicked 6 goals against the reigning premier in a first-up practice game - that's not so bad!' 😈

    I got him at $26 a couple of weeks ago.  Waaay overs for a bloke that has previously finished runner up, has kicked 60+ goals three years in a row and now has the AFL's best midfield delivering it to him.

    Worth a punt for sure.

    BoG for me was Clarry.  Very powerful display.

    Most pleasing was Joel Smith.  Not sure if he was beaten once and disposed of the ball very well.  Really starting to use his supreme athletic gifts well.  Even with Petty out, picking our defenders for round 1 will be a nightmare.

    The blue and white was vertical today - horizontal in the PF, though I guess the Cats lying down makes them look vertical

    Statement game, there is no premiership hangover there. that was a hungry and ruthless team, little bit of rust, but geez we're going to be tough to beat again.

    Is he a swinger? gee there is one for the books.

    I know it’s a long season but a lot of the boys will know that if they get dropped they may not get back into the side again. Particularly towards the pointy end of the year.

    This is what every good team wants - huge competition for spots 

    Don't perform and you will be out - no easy way back if your replacement takes their chance

    • 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?
