    Kick the first 1 or 2 and it will be very hard to overcome. Let’s hope we can keep it up

    Well, it’s ours to lose. 

    We are in control. Tight, low scoring game but I hope we have learnt from the last few games (lions/roos) and we come out trying to score and put this away. The bombers will keep coming at us so we need to be firm, but bold. 

    We can do this, first goal straight from the bounce, let’s go!

    Salem and Sparrow slowly are becoming irrelevant in our list.

    If they can't find form, it may be time for them to look for opportunities elsewhere. Specially if we are going to be very active in the trade season.

    Great grinding performance across the first 3 quarters to win a three-goal lead. Can't be scoreless in the last again though. 

    I worry about Jake Bowey. He's a very little guy, and is often caught out in one-on-one marking contests or moments where he has to lay tackle pressure.

    Loving Kolt, Windsor, AMW, McVee, Riv etc

    Just need to keep the pressure up, don't let Bombers open up the play

    One more quarter lads.. we've got then on the ropes! 

    We look dangerous going inside 50 so the more entries and pressure the closer we'll look to the knock out blow.

    You are crazy. He is competing and contesting and is vital.

    • 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.

      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.
