Well well well after some of the comments in the 3rd quarter maybe some of you posters should hold your horses before losing faith so easily

    When we play brute force footy like we did at times in that second half no one can touch us.

    Bring on finals. We are ready. 



     

    Disco was serviceable, we did miss Tomlinson back there. Great endurance and effort to win.

    Hats off to Goodwin and the coaching staff.

    We're hitting very good form at the right time.

    Let's GOOOOOOO.

    What a win. Our best two wins of the season have been against Sydney. We were on the ropes there in the third when Max went off and Fritta then Melky went down but we soaked up a huge amount of pressure before flexing our muscles and pulling away. Fantastic. Fingers crossed for Melky.

    I don't think that we should take that comeback lightly. Swans were hot in the 3rd, we had a lot of stuff going on and we're playing some of the worst footy for a while. 

    Enter the 4th and we rolled up the sleeves and got to work like a great unit does and got the job done. When they say a champion team beats a team of champions, this is a champion team.

    I couldn't be prouder of the Melbourne Football Club right now. I always loved this club with everything I had but this is just a great time to be watching this club. Thanks Dees!

    Magnificent finish to the H&A with a Top 4 already cemented. We should really appreciate this team, how we can change the game when all was against us in the 3rd is truly fantastic. And we’ve done it all year.

    We are really hard to beat and that gives all supporters heart.

    Massive effort to win from there shows the heart of this side…I would play TMac on the MCG taller forward line does well in finals (unless it’s wet)

    I’m sure Binman will be all over this in tomorrows podcast.

    But it was evident that we really put the after burners on at 3QT. That quarter is still concerning as we have seen it in a few games throughout the year.

    Docs and physios of DL, is it pretty common to see somebody with an ACL/MCL walking around without crutches and joining in the team huddle? Seen plenty on crutches after such an injury. I know walking is possible after one of these, but surely the club doctors wouldn’t be taking any risks letting Melk wander around in the throng. 
     

    Unless….

    It’s understood he’s gone for the season and there’s no need for cotton wool 😢

    Fritsch is just a forward 50 God with magnificent luscious hair. 

    Haven't we missed Fritta.

    He is an outright star of the game.

    Heaven help next year with a mature Jvr and fit Petty alongside him.

    Hopefully Milk is ok and and TMac comes in for a flag this Year.

    I’ve never done my ACL, but I have torn the meniscus in my knee and, for what it’s worth, it looked exactly like what Melksham did.

    Paging our mate @Webber for an injury prognosis. 
     

    I can’t get over what a great win that was. Pies will be [censored] themselves.

    Brilliant win! That had such a 2021 feel to it. I thought we were gone in the third quarter but we just never gave up. 

    Fritsch is an absolute legend! I rate his performance as even better than his 2021 GF given the adversity he was under. 

    I feel really bad for Melksham though. He's been such an important part of our forwardline lately and he really deserves a crack at a premiership. Hope he recovers as soon as he can.

    • 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.
