    1986 but did we wear it once for a retro Round?

    I remember us wearing it for a Retro Round game in Perth many years ago.  Is that the one you're thinking of... ?

    It's not form he's lacking!

    I flew down under the cover of darkness on Friday night. I’ve brought some family to their first game, looking forward to a big win.

    Today I’d like to see us tighten up defensively inside our fwd 50. When opposition teams try to kick it out long we set up pretty well but when they go the short kick then a series of handballs or short kick/hand ball receive run and kick when get caught wanting.

    if he was inform he would be playing


    It’s very dark here. They will need to put the lights on very soon. Not much of a crowd at the moment but I have made sure to position myself amongst the Demon supporters. Go Dees ❤️?

    We need to win and get our spot back in the 8. Hope for a comfortable win

    We win well today and we’re in the top 4.

    And that will be a beautiful thing.

    Another opportunity to make a move towards finals, we failed our challenges last year, will this be the day we finally stand up and demand to be counted. I think so.

    Dee's by 78.

    Petracca to tear it apart.

    Frosty by the length of the Winton straight.

    frosty?

    Three ravens on a fence there were,

    As black as black as black.

    Said one, 'Watch your defence, it's not all about attack.'

    'Be sure to spread,' the second said, 'but keep one out the back.'

    'The Blues aren't bad,' the third one said, 'they're sure to have a crack.'

    Talking birds upon a fence

    each with a football brain.

    Take their advice and perhaps today,

    The Dees will win again.

     

    Dees by 22 points.

    Looking at the weather radar, the worst seems to be missing us. The odd drizzle every now and then. Keeping fingers crossed. An undermanned Carlton might play like they have nothing to lose. Hope the boys are switched on not like the cats yesterday.

    Destroy them.  No  mercy.  Top 4 awaits.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
