Slobbo on twitter saying Daniher might be a late out.

An infected self inflicted dog bite is a possible reason for his out.

    Joe is in. I reckon we will win today looking forward to the match, TMac makes a big difference structurally.

    If Daniher is a late out then it will be Essendons worst side they’ve put out all year and all the planets will be aligned to ensure an emphatic victory for them.

    brings back memories of 2016...  how did we lose that one !!

    Watching from home, I hate sheetihad! or whatever they call it. Upwards of $25.00 to sit in the top rafters?

    Nar !

    In the corresponding game last year,if I recall correctly watts kicked 4, petracca kicked 3 or 4, Garlett 3 and hannan 2. Only one of those guys is playing today. 

    Concerned about our ability to kick a big enough score today


    Interesting inclusion with Spargo.

    Goodwin likes his aggression. When a little man plays with aggression his teammates are going to have to stand tall.

    This is a good selection.

    Looks like the roof is closed?

    nothing like sitting in the dark indoors on a beautiful day after being in the office all week!

    I will be at the gym from about 1 (2 your time) so will catch the first half.

    Now I've calmed down a bit, I think there were some positives we could take from last week.

    It's clear the issue is confidence and how that detracts from employing an effective game plan.

    While the Dons will not lie down, my feeling is they are in a similar boat to us. They have talent but they are well down on confidence. 

    This is a tough match to pick. I picked the Hawks and Tiges to roll us and thought we would get past the Lions and Roos.i don't approach this one with any confidence to pick a winner.

    I think we win by 8 points in a game which will be pig dog ugly considering the 5 day turn around.

    Dont worry, its started already......

    Oh and theres this gem...."Ambrose to smash Hogan"  Yeah na.


    Burning question for the day - will it be Daniher or Stringer that we play back into form?

    Who will take home the Kent Kingsley today?

    Stringer. 

    Mostly because he is a s*** bloke and the footy gods decree that we be the ones who usually let types like him have crackers (see Mitch Robinson).

    We’ll win, Goodwin is just trickin’ us 

    does anyone remember the season that the crows were mediocre, few wins and losses and inconsistent then one week they flicked the switch and started scoring 25 goals a game? Think Craig was coach and Goodwin was playing, maybe around 2003-2006? Anyway, would love to see that happen to dees!

    Is anyone actually going other than the cheer squad?

    Normally this is a game eldest lad and I attend. He's a Bomber... :(

    Even he can't get interested.

    Roof closed. TMac having shots on goal with BF and Hoges. A while to go, but pretty empty. 

    I'm stoked to see what Tom McDonald back in our side does for how we set up. I think we'll be much more calm as we move our ball to goal.

    I like that we have three genuine marking forward options.

    I wonder what the forward line plan was before we were forced to play TMac up front?

    • 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.
