Kanga Kanga Kanga the difference in the end.

Chandler was massive and Judd just knows what to do. Hooray for youth!

We have some issues but I'll take any win in Round 6.

Please just retire Riewoldt. Always kills us.

    Van Rooyen is going to be a genuine star for us, how many young forwards have a quiet one for three quarters and turn it around in a matter of a quarter. 

    Gotta be mark of the year contender.

    Tonight showed us how close the comp is right now. True grit from 25 down.

    If there’s one moment to stand out from tonight, it was Hunter winning a clutch ball on the Members’ wing just before 3/4 time to set up the Oliver goal on the siren. The roar after Oliver’s goal was the loudest I’ve heard here since the Wattsy 2017 QB goal.

    I cannot believe we won that game. Apart from an increasingly good last quarter, our game play, skills, and decision making were as poor as they have been in 3 years. 

    Take a bow Jack Viney - epic game in every way.

    And welcome to the big time JVR.

    Brown's gotta come in to protect JVR and/or Petty

    Not sure only 2 key defenders is sustainable

    Great game by Viney

    Very odd coaching to have Gawn ruck to majority of the game when we needed a seasoned body up forward

    Win's a win. The first three quarters were far from enjoyable but I like how we responded in the last.

    Van Rooyen was incredible late. Looks a gun. Chandler's fast becoming one of my favourite players. He's tough, quick and super composed. Love him.

    Couldn't have been anyone other than Viney. Tough as nails and a constant presence even when we were getting beat.

    We take the win obviously, but there are some things we need to look closer at. Our backline was poor, still too much millionaire football, and our forward structure is a mess. 

    Having said that, positives: wrestling the game back, JVR and what a crowd!!

    Learn from this and take the W onwards

    Go Dees 🔵🔴

    Still worried about how we handle ground balls in our back half.. we just cannot stop the opposition.

    Gutsy win in the end but a few things to work on as well.

    JVR is heading to cult status.

    If JVR doesn’t get you excited, nothing will. 
     

    Plenty to work on still but gee it’s good to wrestle back momentum and grind a win out. 
     

    Judd ‘knuckles’ McVee is some find too, love his composure

    • 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.

      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.
