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.

    • 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?
