Fantastic, emphatic return to form by the Dees. That could easily have been a 15 goal win against the "former... (hehe)" ladder leader. I tipped us to win by 3-4 goals so this is much more than i expected. 

Viney = immense

Jackson = Pay him what he wants. Kids gonna be a champion.

Lever = a totally different player with May in the team.

Harmes = Smashed Neale... get around him.

Bedford = dynamic

Oliver = Brownlow

Hibbo = blanketed Cameron

Jordan early was also very good.

Lots of others i could, and probably should praise.

Fantastic win Dees. Should be an enjoyable weekend 'Landers.......

    Crisis. What crisis!

    Great performance built on a foundation of pressure and intensity.

    Career best game Viney. Magnificent

    Lever back to his best

    Dogga held his own in the ruck and excellent second efforts

    Percentage boost bonus

    Since 22-9 Lions in the first this was an annihilation, make no mistake. You could see we got our structures working late in the first quarter and we slowed them right down. Our reward came in the second and it was pretty much game over at half time. We weren’t letting this one go.

    Well done to every single player out there tonight. 
    Viney was just inspirational, awesome game by the skip.

    Welcome back, Dees 🔥

    More than anything, tonight was a return of our spirit, hunger and intensity. And all without Maxy. Which is a great thing to take away. We can maul the ladder leaders without the best ruckman in the comp. Our captain.

    This is exactly the response we needed after the break. A reminder to everyone else that we're the premiers, as well as a reminder to ourselves.

    Massive team effort, but Viney - 3000 votes.

    Go Dees ❤️

    If you said anything like “our season is over” in the last month, give yourself an immediate uppercut.

    Many welcome returns to form, but none more pleasing for me than Jake Lever. Absolutely outstanding.

    Bye bye to half of DL.

    INTENT.

    Kept the highest scoring team to 53 point.

    No way we weren’t loading pre the bye.

    Well led Jack Viney.

    Viney led by example and was a BEAST. 

    Loved his game.

    Easily our best win since the Grand Final. We were tough, quick, aggressive and relentless. We couldn't have played any better.

    Viney was simply elite. He may not get a lot of attention from the media but he has certainly been good enough to at least make the AA squad this year. I was very pleased with Jackson's performance. He seemed to relish the extra responsibility.

    Maybe we still are the team to beat after all.

     That was a 42% goal kicking accuracy exhibition against essentially the second best side in the league  and still winning by circa 10 goals.

    37 scoring shots to 18....
     

    Hopefully Fages' discusses loading in his presser.

    • 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?
