    Job done, move on. 
    Still feel like we aren’t clicking and seem to lack some polish, plenty to work on. 
    Port next week will be a great test

    I hope Petty and Petracca are playing.

    Can't believe I'm going to have to watch Sparrow have 12 touches a week @ 28% efficiency for the next 8 years

    10 of those in the first half and then he just stopped.

    I can still remember 2014 when we lost to them by 50 points but it felt like we’d had a dip. More than happy to have the roles reversed. 
    Loved Trent Rivers’ game today. Vins is having an excellent season. 
    Not sure what Sparrow brings. 
    Go away Jason Dunstall. Sick of having him cheer against us.

    Really feel like petty not playing the second half had a bigger impact than I thought it would, doesn't help that the hawks actually decided to stop playing like a U-16 team for 10 mins

    Rivers was best on ground in terms of exceeding expectations but the Big 3 midfielders were just immense.

    Hibberd slaughtered Breust and May, Lewis. The backline was very good. Clearances remain an issue - can’t understand why given the personnel. Real shame that Petty was subbed out - was looking to be a turning point game for him as a forward. Love what Spargo brings.

    A solid win, but after a couple of soft kills we really need a challenge, bring on Port

    Bigger challenges to come. We bank the 4 points and move on.

    Last week was not a soft kill. We got lucky to win.

    A solid win for May's 200th over the horrible Hawks.  Gotta be happy with the result.

    Looks like BBB in for Petty next week

    Tracc 50/50

    That Sicily.... what a [censored] and i don't mean for the Tracc tackle either.  Some of his work off the ball when he feels he's out of the contest is school yard rubbish.

    If you offered me a ten goal win before the game I would have taken it.

    What happened to Trac?

    Rolled ankle.  Seemed unperturbed when interviewed post match.

    It felt like that was the game where Petty kicks a 3-5 goal haul and really gets his confidence up, started clunking them which was nice

    I'm watching back the Kayo coverage and Trac was interviewed and reckons he's fine but just caught in a tackle.

    Hopefully the physios can buff that out

    • 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.

      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?
