You gotta love these boys. When they are up for the fight the fight is ferocious.

I know a lot won’t agree but I thought we were really good for 85% of the game the week before. We are building nicely.

    Would love to hear from people at the game. How were we behind the ball? Looked like the set up was unreal. Did our forwards press up, or have they started to hang some one loose?

    Great Team win.

    Viney is a much better when he looks where he is hand-balling but had a great game.   

    Some concerns for me:

    Weid he just can’t find form in the seniors. I think he had 1k 1m and 1g. it’s a real worry tbh. 

    Jackson looks to be out of form big time. Could be playing with an injury but could also be his contract speculation playing on his mind. Didn’t see him in the team song either. 

    I would consider resting Jacko and bringing in Tomlinson as a forward and put Weid in the ruck with Maxy. It could help him find form.

    I knew we had that in us and at our best with that mongrel intensity no one can beat us.

    You watch us go from now on.

    Get around Port, GWS, Adelaide and Richmond (to beat Collingwood, Sydney, Carlton and Brisbane respectively).

    Let's see how many of last week's results we can reverse this week.

    6-0 interstate in the one season.

    Anyone else ever done that before?

    Certainly not Collingwood - they never travel 6 times.

    Jack Viney is our barometer, those stats are astronomical. 
     

    That should be the standard of pressure and contest for the whole team for the rest of the season, great win!!

    Jake Melksham continuing his surprise resurgence. Chased hard and provided a solid target on the lead. Probably should've finished with 2-3 goals 

    Liking his game at the moment. Adds a different element to our forward line.

    Pretty poor coverage with replays often taking precedence over live action, overlaid by commentary box prattle.

    Jackson rucked well and jumped over his opponent consistently - hope he sees that the Dees are the team to stick with Dockers are real pretenders

    • 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?
