That was easy. North have a long hard road to travel.

everyone performed but I’m not convinced Schache is the answer. Let’s see how he goes against the suns.

I can’t be bothered going to find the thread but Chandlermodium stocks must be about equal with Apple’s after that.

Goodwin was so happy he high fived his security guards

He is soooo cuddly. I just saw the president give him a big smooch at the end of the team song.

Disgusting 😁

Just need the antidote for the woman behind me to shut up because we didn't win by 100 points.

The only downside was the missed 100.

Go Dees!

At least we cracked the ton. 
 

For a team coming off 5 days, with a trip up to GC, the switch off to preserve a couple of percent for next week is fine by me.

Everything clicked. Clear night at the G. Beautiful to watch. Crowd was pretty lame, but it’s North. No injuries. Seagulls absolutely rampant all game. What happened to the falcon? Onto next week. 

 

When was the last time we kicked 22.7? How good has our goal kicking been this year.

Asked for a 15 goal win in the pregame thread, got exactly that. 
 

Should’ve won by more. 

Great win, made even better with the memory of North beating us time after time for years.

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!!! 

Yeah.

Only the dees.

Sheesh.

Concerned that despite the big win our 2 tall fwds only get 2 goals between them and didn’t do a whole lot else. We really need Brown or Tmac in form and back as they would add so much more

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

Yep. Pathetic crowd. Perfect weather. You knew it was gonna be a probable giant win. Last home game for a month. Rubbish turnout.

And I reckon half of those behinds were rushed. Probably we just missed a couple of set shots.

Very professional effort on a short break. Flashes of excellent ball movement and mostly the right tempo. 

The most pleasing part was the unselfish work of our forwards. Fritsch and Pickett clearly got the message after some of their efforts last year and it’s great to see it spread through the side.

And why do you think that is? And remember they ended up with 3 players on the bench due to injury. 

 

Schache isn’t the answer. Petty back in or BB depending on form at Casey (with Petty to go back)

And will get the same result with BBB.

    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.
