    After last week I wasn't going to go today but have backflipped as the kids said they wanted to go. I don't know if they know what they are in for, I am genuinely worried about today.

    Dees in a close finish?
     

    It’s fitting this is an Easter game being we are generally Freo’s bunnies. I would have liked to have seen Adams brought in for May but otherwise the changes have us look more balanced and at least we have 2 forwards that have been kicked goals at the lower level recently. What I hope to see is manic effort and a focus on structure without the ball. I hope to see movement forward when we have it and movement forward of the ball for those wanting it. I hope the player with the ball trusts his gleam mate and looks to execute the first attacking option to a player that puts us in the best chance to score.

    If Sparrow is going to tag Brayshaw or Serong do it at the bounce not at the expense of another position. Time to move Viney forward and Rivers in the rotation. Let Langford and Oliver rotate and Trac or Pickett rotate. Windsor back to the wing and Chin to high half forward.

    I don’t think we’ll win today but I do think there is a great chance to show the first true steps of change that will have us moving in the right direction.

    Whats not discussed is our first 3 games at the G have been against GWS, GC & Freo with poor attendances and impacting on gate receipts, the AFL finds a way to dump on us.The finances of our club need to be considered sitting @ 0-5 & possible worse come Anzac eve!

    Hopefully we can somehow get a win but if we don't we always have below and no-one can ever take that from us no matter how hard they try.

    Sportsbet have Freo at $1.29. Looks overs to me.

    I got on Freo earlier in the week @ $1.45. Hope I lose my money ... (not likely!)

    Were already depressed about this season and its only Round 6.

     

    I never thought I'd ever say this but thank you Essendon.

    You have given us the chance to get out from being the worst club in the league points wise at least.

    Go Dees.

    And I hope Fritta enjoys his time in the magoos.

    Got 2 x Free tickets if anyone is keen, please DM me and I’ll send via text.

    Centre wing Medallion Club (basically just AFL Reserve I believe).

    Go Dees!

    Thank you club who manhandled us so easily last week for scratching past the worst team of the last 3 years and nearly blowing it. We are in your debt

    Three coffees and two Red Bulls in and I’m fired up and ready to go!!!

    There’s a chance we’ll lose today.

    There’s a chance we’ll win.

    I’m gonna focus on the chance of a win.

    Note: gates open earlier today (11:30am), due to the extra time needed to check folks upon entry. Sadly though, I don’t think the extra time is needed since it won’t take long to check so few people 😢

    Freo are a great team. Solid midfield, defence and ruck.

    2 McDonalds and 2 Sharps.

    Dees by 6


    A fwd line that struggles to accrue 60 points each week with a back line that concedes about 100 points each week.

    And a midfield that plays like a group of headless chickens ....we are still a good chance to win.

    Not sure if your being sarcastic. But if you are about the fact that they manhandled us, I would not say that was their( Essendon's) fault, Sir.

    Our players are grown men and seasoned players, so if anyone is to be blamed for them being manhandled, I would strongly suggest to start there.

    Anything else imho, is just making excuses. And poor ones at that

    I'm not suggesting for a second that you are BP, but anyone who does, is a complete fool.

    Enjoy the game.

    I am positive today.

    Why?

    I think our mids will take up the challenge matching Freos stars.

    Fullarton in signals a new approach or emphasis on better approach forward . That’s it, not much but I’m going to enjoy it.

    True with the crowd but what a great opportunity for the AFL to look at curtain raiser again. Even under 18s

    I like it. We still have a midfield that can bully the opposition, but we must get some (early) return on it and we're a chance. Would help if viney oliver langdon and a few others hit the scoreboard. They all get their chances but choke inside 50 time and time again. Expecting our front 6 to kick a winning score is huge ask. Push forward and snag a few

    No chance. Anything below 50 loss will be positive. But Ill be there nonetheless

    I’m not superstitious but I do wear the same Melbourne socks to every match. However, this year I’ve been wearing our new Demon Army socks. I couldn’t find them this morning so I’m wearing the Melbourne socks today. We all know what that means, don’t we boys and girls?! Yep, a win for sure!

    Y’all are soooo welcome 😘

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
