That was the most satisfying non Dee’s win of the year

    Unlike Daicos senior, who carries on like a two bob watch in a kind of look-at-me way when one of his kids does anything, Darcy senior behaved like a mature and serious observer of the game when his son put a dagger through the Magpies' black hearts.

    I loved everything Darcy junior did last night, from hitting Maynard to sealing the win. He is going to be one heck of a player and there will be a time when he gives us cause to hate him, so when that time comes I'll need to remember this game as consolation.

    Excellent observation.

    Luke Darcy seems to understand its Sam's turn now and quietly revels in it. He doesn't probably need to live vicariously through his children.

    Daicos snr is just a bit weird. Not a bad thing but overexposure is beckoning.

    Maybe Luke's got just a bit more on his plate than Peter?

    Daicos boys are first rate anyway but in the last 1/4 It looked like Beveridge had a plan for Nick to curb influence at critical times.

    But wasn’t Luke there working and Peter was in a corporate box on the juice? If my kid was winning games of AFL of his own boot I’d carry on however I like

    I know we moan on missing players in the draft (ie Curnow/Weidmann).

    But poor St Kilda must cry every time they see Bont, he’s an absolute gun (they picked Billings).

    And McCartin before Trac.

    Glad Maynard didn’t get knocked this game and will be playing against us. Jack over to you now to do with him as you wish.

    Someone must have been up all night.

    Or is it a case of a very wishful-thinking 'Here's one I prepared earlier'?

    Pretty amazing contested game from Nick Daicos. Any small lingering doubt about his work in this area, now completely dispelled. He's a tremendous player.

    Geez Darcy is a player. He looks more composed that JUH and more consistent already. 

    Is it possible to just laud another player without denigrating one of ours ?

    Due to my personal calendar and the footy fixture, I have watched a number of Bulldogs games this year. Over the past 4 weeks I have been impressed with their both method and form. And some of their young players are emerging quickly. They still have some defensive issues and the forward set up is messy at times, but they are going to cause some issues for those trying to get top eight positions 6,7, and 8. 

    I love the look of Sanders, O'Donnell and Darcy.

    Agree 100%.  They are a quality side playing high class footy. If they get the timing right they could very well threaten at the business end.

    If he stopped throwing his head back, lifting his arms when he gets tackled and sooking to the umpires all the time he would be enjoyable to watch

    I mean Ugle-Hagan STILL hasn’t kicked a goal for us so I think it’s deserved?

    • 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.

    • 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?
