    The best part of the last few weeks has been the emergence of some of our youngsters. 

    Oh and by the way Essendrug are a pack of front running soft buddies who couldn't run through wet lettuce.

    I watched tonight, just to enjoy watching young players developing.

    The win was a bonus, and we get to see the future!

    Good kicking is good football. Liked (most of) the set shots.

    Which were mainly off the back off JVR workhorse performance and our mids working around him.

    Petty was absolutely horrendous tonight. Even Goody acknowledged that by throwing JVR into the ruck into the second quarter that turned the game for us. Our own senior coach is pretty much admitting that Petty was crud in the ruck.

    But of course you think his performance was justified because why wouldn't you..

    In the centre square, he was ordinary as a ruck, particularly in the first half... as I acknowledged in my first post. 

    I'm watching the replay now and his follow up work around the ground is fine.

    OK I'm in london & just saw the scores. Oh my god I'm so happy.

    How did we win this?

    How did we go in the ruck?

    Maybe we need to trust goody and his plans.

    Go dees. What a weekend,  pies lose and so do the bummers

    Carlton lost as well 😍

    Plenty of nuffies around.  This is your post after last year's finals loss to Carlton.

     ...If McDonald ever pulls on a dees jumper again I'll eat my fist...

    How's that typing with one hand working out for you?

     

    Touche

    Credit where credit is due, he's reinvented himself.

    Ironically it's McDonald keeping Petty out of d50.

    I was all for the Petty ruck situation but he completely lost me after the first quarter. 

    Even Goody said that initially the plan wasn't to have JVR rucking as much as he did tonight but unfortunately once he matched Draper in the ruck contests that took away his/our forward strength up forward.

    Thanks god for Turner, Melksham and Fritsch.

    His name was Rob. I heard him too. King of the nuffies. Not many supporter groups would call up and whinge about a player after a great win. Probably one of those MCC supporters that yells kick it every seconds. No feel for the game at all.

    That's not to say I'm not excited about Jefferson and I think he'll play this year.

    "Man up!"

    "Just kick the bloody thing!"

    We were loud in the stands tonight I thought.

    By the way, Ben McKay is a bloody good defender for them!

    He just kept clunking them and I think that's where the JVR match up would have kept him at bay had he had the luxury to play majority of his time up forward.

    Good recruit for them.

    Jade Gresham on the other hand.... 🥴

    I'll take our Demon spirit over being high off the jet fumes over the Hangar any day.

    Essendon Football Club masquerading as an escaped circus elephant cling vicariously to fifth position on the ladder. Brad Scott although obviously disappointed will be seeking AFL guidance on future umpire selections.

    Langdon was huge tonight. A cool 30 touches and 17.4km under the belt

    100% TOG. The man is superhuman. 
     

    By the way, Petty returning from a horrible foot injury with 0 pre season and hamstring awareness a week ago, and is expected to ruck against a really good solid ruckman. 
    The pile on is insane. 
     

    Roo was always going to do better given he trained to do backup rucking all pre season under Gawn while Petty was riding a scooter with a foot in a moonboot.

    There's a new energy within the club. Melbourne needed some renewal but I really didn't think our new lads could play at this level. Wrong. I do worry about a long season for young players. But, to be fair to Goody, he's held Disco, Koltyn and AMW back and it may work to our advantage now.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
