    Weather update in Melbourne?

     

    50 point win today... hope it is stress free.

    May be the only big win we get for a few weeks so I look forward to enjoying it


    Can't get to this one; v disappointed.  Go JV and Da Boys.  Play like your spot depends on it.

     

     

    We win the ones we should these days,  so expecting that we control most of  the game today.

    I hate Carlton.  The Curnow boys missing is huge though, and takes out their second best mid and their best forward to this point of the year.

    They'll be up and about early, especially after their win last week, so it's up to us to weather the early storm and play the game on our terms.  Do that and we win comfortably.

    I'm glad Viney is playing. I finally get to wear my creepy hunchback Viney socks

    Demons by 10 goals plus.

    Should be a totally one sided match. Viney back and the reserves putting heaps of pressure on the boys to perform, coupled with Carltanks outs have me supremely confident.

    No nerves at all this week, just like last week.

    :)

    Wet. Slippery. Messy football kind of day. I'm not used to this "expecting to win" thing...

    why am i always a nervous wreck before the games now that there's an expectation that we will win?

    life was much easier when we were in the doldrums

    I’ve noticed the same thing. The expectation pre-match makes me feel sick, but I embrace it. It’s still better than that overarching sense of impending doom.

    I also found it really difficult watching to the end of the Hawks and Tiges games when we were playing poo. In the past I’d always watched to the end looking for some morsel of things to take out of the game, but when you know one or two minor acts aren’t going to cut for taking the edge off the smashing, that was really hard to take.

    • 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.
