I'm sick in the guts, wanting to vomit but the anxiety is telling my brain don't spew. HUGE GAME! Time to hit the frothies.

I work in a liquor distribution centre and don’t finish until 7 or so tonight. How do you think I’m travelling?

    Came home to a bonus 6 pack of beer from the wife who knew the game was on tonight.  

    I take this is a good omen.  Dees by 6 goals.

    She's definitely a keeper! Enjoy the game.

    I did it last year early on the piece, but the laptop I was using fried the hard drive so I no longer have the analysis and I CBF doing it again. It certainly showed there potentially were umpires 'favouring' different teams and vice versa, however there's no real way of knowing without identifying each individual umpires free kicks.

    Of the one's I consider the big three, Razor, Pannell and Nicholls, 2 of them were generally involved in negative counts for us, but one of them was definitely a big positive. I thought it was very strange at the time, and I can't remember which one it was.

    Like I say I've lost all the stuff, however I do have AFL umpire appointments data from 2015 to an early round last year. I initially asked the AFLUA for it, but they flicked me off to the Victorian Library or something. Thought that was quite odd as well.

    Just got home from a gruelling work week , feeling a bit crook, struggling to keep my eyes open... carn Dees wake me up!! ??

    SEASON DEFINING GAME TONIGHT!

    Make no mistake, Essendrug have shown us how to do it!

    NO excuses, We must be relentless, gut run to space, be accurate in front of goal, and put some clamps on Grey, Boak and that bloody Westhoff who I cant stand!

    Don't care how we do it as long as we do 

    Loss tonight quite rightly labels us as PRETENDERS!

    WIN and we might just be onto a finals appearance!

    Mine called me at work to see how many to buy while she was at the bottlo. Silly question really, nice of her to ask though!

    Tomald to kick six.

    Silly question is correct.  It's always a slab - enough to celebrate a win, enough to drown your sorrows if we lose.

    Agree with you Picket. Lose tonight and we will struggle to gain momentum. Tough run home. 

    A win on the road can restore belief

    Absolutely packing it...I hate watching on tv

    Me too. I need to do something else to keep my mind off... any suggestions?

    My confidence has grown through the week. Thought Garlett would be in. Smith worries me as this is s massive game and I would of gone with Garlett, Weideman and kept Spargo. Would of dropped Hannan/Harmes for Tyson and played Jones on the wing. 

    Dees by 26

    Hope there's no need to switch to Melbourne Bitter.

    Let’s hope the port fans get to drink plenty.

    Wish I was a drinker. I’m away at a yoga retreat and I’m not supposed to use my phone. ?.

    Think I will go and have another green tea and meditate positive thoughts towards this game.

    Might duck out later and have a sneaky look at my phone. 

    Go Dees ❤️?

    Cheeezus, why didn't you bring her home a six pack ??

    Your needs satisfied with an extra  (can) opener that might just come in handy later!!??

    Holy shut the door!  

    2KW bar nice and pricey.... plenty of Dee’s scarfs around but not a single Port bogan in sight. ?

    One of my best mates works in the local brewery, he was kind enough to give me a slab Last week, it’s been sitting in the garage and down to -1 the last few nights, will be nice and cold when I put some in the fridge shortly.

    I sent the goodly wife a text, who is 8.8 months bursting with our second little demon asking her to record the game and rewind it so I can watch it from the start after I put little demon number 1 to bed... “it’s ok, you bath him and I’ll put him down”.

    I knew she was a keeper.

    • 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.
