Did we all enjoy Augie March playing during the pregame? They’re arguably the most underrated Australian band ever. I guess they had to sing I was only 19 as it’s fitting, but their original music is quite something else. 

They sure are, I thought it was Redgum.

    I’d say it was 2:1 Dees to Tigers. The Melbourne supporters came, and they really brought the noise. The booing at the umpiring early was only out done by the cheering in the last.

    I thought we sounded great last night. Was a really proud night for the footy club and it’s supporters.

    Thanks that. That's a great effort and very surprising.  Couldn't tell by the noise on telly though except for the Roo cheer.

    I reckon the bombers are a real show. 

    I suspect they will look to go even more high octane than the pies.

    Dangerous because fast is in the pies' wheelhouse. 

    But they are coming off two very physical games, including having to travel to the gabba and play in humidity. 

    And their game last week against the saints was brutal.

    Added to that they have some big outs, including their best two rucks - giving the bombers an edge for talls.

    Something we can learn from Collingwood (and how it pains me to admit) is that we can embrace "ugly" footy. They move the ball forward at all cost, no matter if they kick, hand ball, slap the ball, dribble... Just relentless desire to gain territory.

    Preferred our pregame to what they had today.

    Our pregame is the story every year now. We’ve basically stolen the Anzac Day narrative in the media with a much better spectacle.

    Yeah, the darkness and the fire make it extra poignant.

    Go Weids !

    Don’t like both teams but can’t stand Collingwood so hoping for a bag for Weids & an Essendon win.

    Ugh, watching two teams you hate so you “barrack” for the one who you hate less but you forget and you laugh when they mess up then you remember you’re supposed to be barracking for them. It’s exhausting.

    Impressive by the Bombers so far.

    Collingwood struggling to move the ball quickly.

    No way it was round the neck

    They missed an earlier one over the shoulder so a bit of an evener upper

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
