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.

    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: 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.

    • 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?
