    North gave it their all, but we still never really looked in doubt. Take the 4 and move on to the next.

    Go Narrm!

    We scored more than 90 and conceded less than 60

    Our percentage went up. 

    We played without our best team. 

    We are a game and percentage on top. 

    We are clearly the best team in the comp for a whole game.

    Got the points took to the final quarter but a good margin in the end.

    The injuries hurt.

    Move onto Freo next week & need to play better

    We should have spanked them.

    Thats a win for North.

    inaccurate as always, we are primed for a finals upset.

    Along with the Eagles, North concede the most amount of points and inside 50s against yet we looked to be going uphill for 75% of the game

    Credit to North they made it hard for us but our greater quality told in the end

    Beast mode from Clarry. May was good and I liked Spargo’s contributions

    Big game next weekend. We’ll have to play better but we know we lift for the bigger games

    10-0 and 17 on the spin

    Go Dees

    Almost the best game of Oliver's career. He destroyed it against Adelaide in R10 2021 but we lost, so it takes a tick of the shine off, but today he was brilliant in everything he did, and also played just a fantastic team game.

    The next 5 weeks/4 games are so big.

    Reckon the Roos have shown the rest of the comp how to play us (although dirtily).
     

    Inflicting injuries is our Achilles heel, who would’ve thought 😞

    Dunstan is a terrible player and shouldn't be in the team, ever again.

    Max was being interviewed by moons & just had steam coming off him. Funny stuff.

    Would have been nice for Foxtel to show us walking off the ground.

    Did BBB get carried off?

    Fair play to North, they did all they could. Were aggressive and pressured hard. Good for us to have these tests rather than a training run

    They dragged us down to their level for the first 3 quarters, but we were magnificent in the last!  Seventeen on the trot!!

    Ugly first half but the cream rose to the top from half way through the third.

    There's a few boys not at their sparkling best and a couple of the ins although very handy & grateful for their input, are still a fair way off the level of JV & Harmesy.

    Hope Plugga's foot is ok.  Easily our best forward tonight.

    Clarry crazy good....again!

    • 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?
