Roooos!

That was a gutsy win and probably the upset of the year given who they were playing and what was at stake.

Although you have to wonder where that's been aside from last week against the Pies.

Many of them saying this one's for Noble so you have to take that on face value as fair dinkum.

Zurhaar ... this bloke really punches above his weight when he's on.  Goldy was also super in that last quarter or so.  That No.1 draft pick did ok as well eh!

In the end you can have all the systems and styles you like.  To win these tight games against very good teams you have to bring the most important element for most of the four quarters.... great effort.

    Someone smart explain to me who we want to win out of Carlton and Geelong?

    I was hoping for a nil all draw but Geelong already scored so that’s not an option.

    Depends on how you think the Dee's will finish the season. If your thinking we will end well the blues as we can reclaim top spot. If your thinking we will finish bad the cats as Blues will be fighting for our top four spot. I'll just sit back and watch wishing we had at least 1 of these big forwards

    Blues, Swans and us. Must avoid Freo in Perth as will be hardest to win.

    We play them there soon and it could decide our fate.

    Very happy for North. Tigers shown to be the mid table outfit they are

    Zurharr. Off the rookie list. He is a beast

    We have done very well in finals in Perth this decade.  🙄

    He's put off contract talks until the end of the year.

    Would absolutely go after him.

    Curnow has Buddy level star about him

    not saying as good but he has it

    Curnow is a genuine star now.

    The noise level by Carlton supporters everytime they kick a goal is next level!

    How many years was he injured for? He still has huge upside as well. And to think we took Weid ahead of him.

    25yo and only played 75 games. Hasn’t had a good run at it since 2018 really. 4 games over 2020-2021. Not a fan of the blues but hard not to like his resilience

    Can't teach presence and swag. Unfortunately Weid won't ever have it

    I hope there were a bunch of our players watching the Roos game for a few reasons. For one I hope it would remind a few that it wasn't that long ago that these wins were what we experienced. I would also hope it reminds players to place value on the wins and don't take them for granted. Finally I would also hope that they get reminded that bad kicking is bad footy, we've missed some very getable chances this year and it has cost us, Richmond lost that off their kicking boots.

    Great for North, hilarious to watch.

    • 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.
