Gather Round 2026 Review - A win from a different gameplan

Game plan that works for us. Slowed it all down. Improved pressure. Bored the opposition. Great win.

I know it won’t be popular but Brad Scott needs a pat on the back for this game and I thought, turnover aside, McKay was huge.

That’s the best Brads coached the team. McGrath and Wright did good jobs - Wright was outstanding.
The team looks a lot better balanced with Ridley down back.
Love Farrow and Roberts combining down back.
Kako magnificent.
Multiple goals for Edwards,Kako, May and Caddy - the future

It’s funny how Jacob Farrow is already the most composed player in our team. What a weapon on halfback and has only played a couple of games.

You can tell Melksham’s an Essendon player at heart, we broke a 17 game losing streak just so he could lose a milestone game.

Early days but Rosa has smashed the draft

Without over reacting, this could well be the best win ever.

I want more of that Langford and Parish, and less of whatever they’d been doing the first three games.

This win over Melbourne feels far more satisfying than last years.

FINALLY some green shoots from our young players are starting to protrude.
