    And for more good measure round 4, 2021 when we beat them 12.13.85 vs 9.6.60. 

     

     

    Had we kicked straight it would have been another mauling.

    Max's third quarter is my highlight of the year after the gf. He just set it alight & I loved his tackling pressure to. 

    That was just awesome & I don't care how sick they were.

    That is fantastic, I hadn't noticed that before!  Also Langdon's glee is absolutely priceless.

    I saw a headline recently where Jed Bews was putting the cats mystery illness down to something they caught in the resort spa …. “ I think the spa got us ….” 😂

    Love how the cats “haven’t used the ‘illness’ as an excuse” while using it as an excuse. 

    They deserve to have a long losing run against us.

    PF last year was one of my all time favourite games. Smacking Geelong, given the history of being on the other end, Max going bananas kicking 5 and being in a relaxed state knowing we would be in a GF Midway through the 3rd qtr where all foreign concepts to me. I loved it

    A very enjoyable and stress free game. We completely pantsed those arrogant knobheads.

    Ending the game with 5 AA's on the bench just rubbed salt into the wound. Like an NBA side resting their starters once the game is won.

    The prelim gets forgotten a bit because of the glory of the granny but it was our best win in 57 years for a week.

    • 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?

    • 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.
