ANZAC Day eve. Listened to the Sunday rub on triple M and Jay Z Clark spoke about how this game is a little look at what the AFL want to do with the grand final and I couldn't agree more.

This is fast starting to overshadow the Collingwood Essendon game tomorrow in my opinion.

I think everything is primmed for us to come out breathing fire tonight and we need too. 

Hopefully the Weed gets a game and good luck to him. Weed and Lever could be book ends for the next 10 years.

Speaking of which I think tonight Lever will show why we paid so much. BOG.

Dee's by 2 points in a classic.

    Let’s hope that we come out primed rather than primmed otherwise we have faint hopes of beating them by two points. Frankly I would like to see us score our winning score courtesy of the classic “kick after the final siren”!

    Go Dees!

    We will win and win well tonight. It is our night.

     

    Going in after work. Really like what we have done with this game. The pre game tribute is fantastic.  

    Have no idea what to expect. The previous years u go confident of a win but then u think we are playing last years premiers and we are coming off a rubbish game.

    If we win people will say why couldn't we do that last week and if we lose well it will be reported as typical Melbourne. But i hope hogan takes rance to the cleaners.

    Nice to have a game to talk about after that nine-day sookfest we've just had.  Demons by a few goals for me.

    Although I doubt Rance went in for an extra prayer session with the Jehova’s - he may face a double nightmare with The Weeeeed having a breakout 8 goal performance. And Hooogann! Running amok on the ball and sloting forward for 4 goals.

    just hope last week was a bad day at the office and tonight we will see a team seeking redemption. Tipping a draw.

     

    Wow 

    Gameday

    Im in town for the game tonight. Where go people drink before and after the game?

    After a 9 day break my loins are aching. Look forward to the boys cracking in and both teams putting on a great contest. Melbourne to win by 2 goals in a see-sawing contest. 


    If Jones is assigned a tagging role again I'll be spewing.

    Paying so much attention to individual players is not a good strategy when you've got to take in the whole game as was evidenced last week.

    Outgunned in the box again?

    Tiges by 27 pts.

    Bugger. Light rain is forecast apparently due to start around 4 pm. May impact (1) the crowd size, (2) the pre-game ceremony, (3) quality of the game, (4) the result...all negatively (for us).

    Official forecast:

    Partly cloudy. Slight (30%) chance of a shower late this afternoon and evening and the chance of a thunderstorm tonight. Winds northerly 20 to 30 km/h becoming light in the late afternoon then tending southwest to southerly tonight.

    Hi Dippy you asked where people drink b4 the game.

    Depends.

    Melbourne supporters somwhere claasy.

    Tigers fans in their cars on route to game

    Many options in richmond, all will be jam packed. depends on your type of place you like, Ive tried them all.

    The Cricketers on Punt road, nice old fanshioned joint

    The London - big beer garden

    Richmond club hotel on Swan if you want to pick up after the game

    City-wise the Duke of Wellington on flinders is alright and i think affiliated with the Dees. 5% off your drinks if you are brave enough to show your membership


    Rance to get another fine for belting the weed in the back of the head.

    Wet weather is all the more reason to play Fritsch, the boy does not fumble.

    Totally f'd selection decision. 

    He must have looked at someone the wrong way :huh:

    • 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?
