Excellent win

Definite percentage booster 

but … only the Dees would allow 3 soft goals in the last 3 minutes to reduce margin from 108 to 90 points!!! 

 

Never been this relaxed at the footy. 
Good clinical win. No injuries. Percentage boost. Love it. Move on. 


Good to see Brayshaw with a 2022-esque calibre game from him tonight

Chandler keeps getting better!

Chandler is a jet.

Absolutely nailed his role tonight. 20+ touches and 3 goals as a small forward is as elite as you'll see.

 

Can't complain with that. I loved our killer instinct tonight. Even when we were were up by 60+ points we still had that desire to pile on the goals. 

Oliver and Petracca's chemistry was as good as it was in 2021/22. Our forwardline has been functioning really well lately. Chandler is an absolute gem and Fritsch and Pickett were electrifying. 

If giving up a 100 point lead is the only negative, then you know we've had a pretty damn good night.

Trac & Chandler were brilliant tonight 

Rivers was amazing.
Nibbler, Ed, Grundy all excellent. And Clarry with a lazy 37. 


At least the players showed up, cos the supporters definitely didn’t. Shocking crowd for a club with almost 60k members.

Chandler is an absolute rippa. 

Great game and good to see his improvement this season. 

90 point win off a 5 day break, I will take that. 

Go Dees.

Brayshaw 29 at 100%

Just what the Dr ordered, pity Schache and JVR had quiet games.

May was back in form after the caning he got in the media this week

 

They say thrashings like this are boring.

Nah, I thoroughly enjoyed that. And it’s great to exact some of that punishment on the Roos and Clarko, who were both responsible for so much of our pain for many years.

The only downside was the missed 100.

Go Dees!

Was half expecting to see the team doing sprints in Yarra Park for 30 minutes when I left after the game.

  • 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?

  • 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.
