It’s an absolute joy watching this team at the moment. Observing from ground level our running capacity is just incredible and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it before to be  honest.

    Trent Rivers is clearly not 100% fit but is still so very very good.

    So important to this team at 20 years of age.

    Big win, and yet we still look like we are in 2nd or third gear haha - lots of time to kick into gear and we get to launch from 5-0. 

    Great to see Kossie get in the game, too.

    Good times!

    What a great team game. So many contributors. 

    As much as I love Benny Brown, I don't think you can drop either of TMac or Weid - both contributed really well.

    Well done to Weed. Put himself in the contest and worked up the ground when it mattered.

    Some posts a bit over top, remember every team has players down pecking order.

    Weid copped it before finishing better, but fact is 3 of our goals up to half way through third quarter came after spillages from marking contests that he competed in….

     

    Also delivery ordinary to tall forwards in the second, but our tall forwards copped it…. Go figure.

    Love this team, they are just amazing

    This has gotta be an easy team to coach right now, running hard to the end always doing the team things.

    Unnecessarily over the top and absolutely correct.

    GWS aren’t a team, they are a soulless franchise. Inept club, with a poor coach, and a poor culture (thanks for Choco Williams). same can be said for GC

    The moment Tassie are announced as having a team, they will instantly have more significance than GWS and Gold Coast combined, probably with twice as many legitimate supporters too.

    The Viney crumb goal in the third should have been a Weid grab from 25 out. He got the perfect block on his opponent from Sparrow and went in to the space, but the kick from TMac went across him. Weid did a lot of unrewarded work tonight I thought. 

    Side note, I’m really liking the wide camera angles we’re getting from the broadcasters this year. You can actually see what’s going on.

    All teams bar Gold Coast were top eight last year incredibly.

    Great point and it bodes well for us.

    • 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.
