    Rosebury (8), Foot (2) and Williamson (22) tonight.   At least that bald clown Nicholls is not in attendance.  Rosebury is generally good.   Williamson is the worry IMHO.   Let's hope they aren't a factor.   Just want to see a competitive effort tonight and in all likelihood we win if we bring that.   Dees by 26.

    There will be enormous pressure on the umps , with 70000 Tiger fans screaming “ baaaaallll” every time,immediately before we take possession. Also the umps will be influenced by them on deliberate OOB decisions.

    Last year they got a huge armchair ride in Q1, despite never having the ball.

    True, but how much do they want it. We have the talent to beat Richmond.

    Still quite a bit of rain around.

    It will be a wet and slippery ball.

    Weid a late out maybe?

    Staying near the ground, with just under 3 hours to go, looks like it's clearing from the west.


    Its very wet for the Weid. Smith would handle the conditions better.

    I think that we can handle, it's more actual rain that seems to make us literally have a meltdown.

    Besides even in the rain last week I felt that we were down a tall, so Weids playing is not an issue. He isn't exactly a clunky forward, he is quite agile and he can give Gawn a chop out in the ruck, which after Harmes' effort last week is much needed.

    The g drains amazingly well. if it the drizzle clears in the next 30 mins or so it will be fine

    We need targets forward to bring the ball to ground still.

    I'd bring Fritsch in (he is just so clean) for Harmes.


    Raining in Collingwood at the moment, sky is very grey and gloomy.

    Surface water will remain which is what will make it slippery.

    At the G now and the rain is getting heavier.

    I’m in Docklands looking NW. it is looking clearer.  I expect the rain will pass in about 1/2 an hour.


    I hope it keeps raining. We can't just pray it never rains when we play. If we can't win on the MCG on a wet day we don't deserve to play finals.

    Radar suggests itll have gone over well before the start. Hopefully the surface drains well

    • 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?
