It’s a weird feeling watching non-Melbourne games in this era.

There isn’t another team that currently looks really threatening to us.

Bloody love it!

    Maybe in their weight division BBO. They need to beef up though if they want to go toe to toe with the heavyweight champions of the AFL. 

    You're all over it Ralph !!!! They are pizz ants!

    As much as I’d love McKay in our forward line, he is quite injury prone. I can recall half a dozen games in the last 12 months where he has looked very proppy or playing hurt.

    Is Jack Martin the most over paid player in the comp? 

    Line ball with Williams.

    Great recruiting blues.

    Touch of Darcy Parish about Sam Walsh. A lot of possessions for not much influence. Still, as BBO has reminded me, they're the Premiership faves.

    Things we are learning:

    1. Carlton can’t deal with pressure.

    2. Freo have copied our game plan……. but

    3. They don’t have May, Lever, Petracca, Oliver or Brown.

    Hard to play our brand the way we play it. Requires dedication which Freo appear to have but time will tell whether they have the fitness and depth. Will be interesting to see this side once Fyfe comes back. 
     

    They could make a run for the top 4 next to the Lions and Cats. There isn’t anybody else left  (not sold on Saints and Doggies will struggle) I think that could string the required number of wins. Blues and Sydney will likely take 5 and 6. I think spots 6-14 will be separated by a maximum of 8 pts and % based on the even spread of the average teams in the Comp.

    Enjoying this.  Would like to see Freo go beast mode in the last and put some big numbers up. I know a lot of Bluebagger fans. Related to more than my fair share as well.  I've rejoiced in their disappointment and would like to continue to do so.

    It does. But gosh Cripps is just a beast. He’s regularly putting up 30+ disposal, multiple goal games now.

    • 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?
