GREAT START!

We were missing 4 of our top 10 but the rest of the boys stood up. Kozzie, Lever, Trac awesome. Judd awesome start. Great to see BBB get 4. Grundy worked a treat first up. 

BUT, what I loved was how we were still running and hungry at the end. We could easily have rested in the last 5-10 minutes. We did that a lot last year. Not tonight. We put ‘em away. 

Once the machine is firing. We get a few back, Grundy is full power, we are gonna be scary. 

Great job, boys!

    Trac changed the game in the second quarter I thought.
    My favourite play was in the second when Grundy roved off the pack, did an underground handball to Langdon and Lingers centred it to Spargo. 

    Spargs and Kozzie electric.

    Great performance. Grundy will get better with more games as he learns the tap locations. 

    Just sour to lose Kozzy for a couple of weeks.

    As I said in the game day.

    We own a good amount of land in the doggies head!

    McVee is good, very good. I feel more comfortable with the ball in his hands than hard the side.

    Some great signs. 
     

    Defence was rock-solid. Tomlinson was fantastic. Had my worries about May being out but that proved to be unfounded. Tommo deserves high praise. 
     

    Maxy, best ruckman of my lifetime hands down. I’ve never seen another ruckman cause as much damage, as consistently, as he does. So adding Grundy on top of that is absurd. 
     

    Couldn’t ask anymore than a 50 point win!!!

    McVee looks a beauty. Moves like Ricky Petterd but looks a great kick!

    I thought I was the only one who thinks he's the 2nd coming of the Pet.

    Luke Jackson was great in support of Gawn again but I don’t like his new look with the man bun.

    I wont underestimate the Dees again this season. If you can win with four guns out against supposedly good opposition then you have significant depth. 

    Great to hear Tomlinson played well.

    Probably will play next Friday.May can rest up. Well done McVee. Anything about Laurie?

    Kozzy is a genuine superstar now. Please offer whatever he wants Tim Lamb.

    Trac, Oliver and Gawn just changed the game when they decided to put their foot down.

    McVee is genuinely cool and calm under the heat. With more experiences and game he'll get better and apply himself with much more confidence. Jason Taylor has unpacked another gem.

    Good to see Benny Brown up and about. 4 snags is a good start

    Lever was BOG down back alongside Tomlinson and Bowey.

    Just an overall great team performance. 

    Unfortunately Oskar Baker and Mitch Hannan are VFL standard footballers. Still amazed Baker got given another chance at AFL level.

      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.

      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.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
