Like many of you I pretty much swore off football after Round 23. To be honest still not really over it.

Now I find myself quietly confident in our side but expectations are still being tempered. I don’t want to go through last year again so just trying to keep those emotions in check while looking forward to footy again. It’s a strange position to be in but that’s just the way it is

We all got cheated last year Layzie. 

Once bitten, twice shy...

    In previous seasons I have been excited by our pre season form because we have been that bad.

    This year I couldn't care less. I just want the real stuff to start.

    I know it doesn't mean anything come the real stuff but even the occasional attendee to training sessions in the past 15 years should be able to tell you there is a serious difference, and the current squad is miles beyond anything seen before. "You play as you train"  is a reasonable reason to be excited this year...... I knowledge I'm a glass half-full guy.

    I will be somewhere around Khon Kaen for round one. Have already sent a bunch of emails to whatever sports bars i could find on Google but none have replied to my request for info on the broadcast. Might be stuck with radio as i wont pay the $19 or whatever it is just for one match, especially as the net is so bad it wont stream continuously most of the time.

    Replay will have to do i guess.

    I would think the only way you could watch it would be online or at a pub that has the Watch AFL pass (which is unlikely around Khon Kaen). Unfortunately for you, our round 1 game won't be on Australia Plus.

    The wash-up of 2017 hit all of us a cruel blow, but surely it's now time to embrace the very real excitement that 2018 holds.  Iam, and I'm loving it. Bring it on!

    • 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.
