There are two things I am certain we can agree on!

If we win we will both be happy and if we lose we will both be sad.

The rest is all just opinion.

Car'n the DEES

You were right O.D. And unfortunately, I was sadly off the money lol (the ever optimist of 40+ years....arghh)

I am sad. (Actually i'm not, just annoyed and frustrated etc. The usual feelings most Deminions have after yet another crappy effort)

I tips me hat mate :)

Looking forward to your next preview versus Saints. Then again maybe i wont like what i'm gonna read lol.

After yesterday's effort and all the outs we have, the Saints will have to lose about 10 players today if we're to have any show i'd think.

    RN this is one of times that it gives me no joy in being correct.

    However I think yesterday there were a couple of genuine excuses.

    Injuries have cripial us in just 2 weeks and then we lost 2 players who have been among our best

    since the start of the season.

    With another couple in danger of being suspended it looks very grime for the rest of May.

    Right now I am too depressed about the Dees to make much of what will happen next saturday.

    Perhaps in a couple of days when I can think straight.

    I thought Martin and Newton showed some effort and it was not their fault we lost.

    But is bloody depressing at present feels like 2009 all over again

    Yep. It is isn't it. And yeh, it does feel a little like 2009 doesn't it. And...2007, 2008, and ummm 1974, 1978, 1981, 1996 & 1997 (apart from the Richmond game towards end of season yay! Birth of the Ooz, and a few others i think).

    P.S. Your use of the word Grime for Grim...nice work lol

    • 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?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
