Got there. I reckon we might be bringing a few blokes in next week.

    Great win.  Players fading in the last.  2 weakened by covid. 3- 4 hadn't played AFL tempo for a while.

    Bank the 4 points and move on.

    bank it and move on

    Very few highlights save that Bedford is ready.

    Not sure what if anything it did to solve the Weid v T Mac debate

    Need to play a lot better next week

    Full credit to Hawthorn.

    But Max and Tracca stood up big time.

    so to Oliver.

    The reliable trio.

    Nice cameo from Bedford

    The absolute putrid biased commentators were over the top.

     

    How about talking up the team with 5 out

    Very happy for Bedford. A game which could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

    We were cooked in the last. Our forward entries were as bad as possible

    Top 8 taking shape.  Cream rising to the top.

    No matter what happens this round we will be 2 games clear of 5th team (and maybe 4th).

    Strong position.

    When you win under those conditions it proves you are a very good team. Go Dees!

    The Hawks are always a nuisance against us, I'm just glad we take the points and there were some good positives today (not the covid ones), like Bedford. 

    Another game where we should take the 4 points and move on, hopefully with more of our list available.

    A little wobbly at times, but we'll get there - definitely by the time we win the flag again this year.

    A wakeup call without losing is a good result, hawthorn showed everyone the blueprint on how to beat us, take it quick through the corridor and keep lever accountable. 

    Need to tidy up our forward fifty entries as well, we kept sitting it on top of a contest and expected someone to clunk it which didnt look nearly as good hitting up a lead. 

    I think this game also shows how important Goody is, feel like his influence on the boundary line is a lot more important than we know

    Watching 2 teams having a red hot go, both butchering the ball at every opportunity, both equally clumsy, sloppy and error-riddled, for the Dees to do things 5% cleaner and get the win. So glad we bat deep int our list because that was very close to a loss tonight.

    A lot of rusty players, and by the end of the game, tired. 

    But we won, are still on top, and so far can take on every challenge.

    • 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.

      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.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
