Mate, I'm still in complete shock 

 

I am stunned. Absolutely stunned. I hope that comeback is the start for the rest of the season. Reminded me of Geelong in 21.


There's no better feeling.

The way Rivers took the game on in the end was so important, he broke it open.

Also, May kicking long down the middle from a kick in and it resulting in a goal, more of that please.


“There are 3 teams, then the rest,” said Lloyd during week. Care to think again sunshine?

Had to follow the scoreboard on a train. Looks of bewilderment when some bloke thumped the table when 105-104 came up.

Can’t wait to get home and watch it x5.

This. The belief. The fight. The ability to grind a win against a top side who really played brilliantly well. Sensational. 
 

If the Lions didn’t have a complex about trying to win at the G, I reckon they do now


Brilliant comeback. I thought we had one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel after Daniher's goal early in the 4th.

Viney's goal was superb, just a beast with a never say die attitude. Max was massive he must stay in the ruck. Good to see a few glimmers of form from Kossie too. Melk just [censored] wanted that last mark, nobody was getting in his way. He knows how to fire the crowd up too.

I liked that the players generally took the game on in the last quarter, challenged the tackler and moved the ball forward rather than trying to make space with multiple short handballs. 

Go Dee's!!

May was next to Melksham with his arm around him when singing the team song. I think that says a lot.

Good to know that. Wish all our players could band together as one, that'd be a powerful force!

Unreal. Best win I've seen live.

How loud was the crowd?

Only 39k but at the ground the dees fans were brilliant and super loud in the last quarter.

I have zero doubt it was a big factor.

Good work dees fans. 

Can we have a minutes silence for the lions player who knocked the ball though for a point to us "The winning point" gave us the opening for a win with a few minutes on the clock.

  • 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.
