In what was a dead rubber for the Demons the game still produced some carnage with Jake Melksham looking like he will be out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury. The Dees overcame a charge from the Swans in the third and ran away winners by 21 points. The Dees will take on the Magpies in the first week of the finals.

    Magnificent win !!!!  We toughed it out finals style!

    Fritta - he's back ! What an effort. Fairy tale stuff.  Simply outstanding.

    Melky - sadly a question mark.

    Umpiring - inconsistent.    

    That Grand Old Flag a coming .  I can feel it in my nethers.

    If we go on and win the Premiership, it stems from this gutsy effort

    Great hard comeback. Every digit crossed for Melksham. Great 2nd half Trac. Great seeing the feline Fritta back!

    That was a seriously impressive win. Key forwards going down left and right, Swans with elite pressure locking it in and star players not getting near it but they flicked the switch later in the 3rd and dominated the 4th.

    One of my most favourite wins aside from the finals wins.

    Never in doubt lads!

    Fantastic performance!

    I'll keep harping on this, but bookmark us a grand final berth. Our system is as good as its been since 2021.

    Defensively sound and contested work is at an all time high.

    Very proud of the boys and Simons Goodwin!

    I’m so appreciative of this team. Nothing to play for, everything going against us, and we just refused to give up.

    I’m so proud to be a Melbourne supporter. This is the best team I’ve ever seen.

    Wasn't able to watch the 2nd half. What happened to Milkshake?

    This is an unbelievable win. Really can’t be underestimated how good that win was. 

    Hopes and prays for Milkshake.

    If we don’t get anymore injuries we will win it. 
    We are the best side in it when we turn it on. Prove me otherwise.

    In my opinion this 1st vs 4th game shapes the finals series. If we win it then we'll be at the big dance.

    Great, gritty win against a very desperate team who brought a lot of pressure and intensity.

    Awesome return from Fritter.

    We enter the finals in great form, with just the ‘loss’ against the Blues in the last 2 months. Just about the best placed of the top 4. 

    Hopefully Melk is ok, we need him! 

    Pumped for the Pies, let’s go Dees!

    Feels like we got a good look at our finals campaign today. And I love what I saw.

    It was looking ominous after such a poor start and majority of the 3rd quarter.

    Dare I say it, a premiership response?

      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.
