Thats too bad... could have got you in at Berkeley River Lodge..... I'd have had to vouch for you though ;)

Anyone know if the carpark at the G is open today? 

 

Lose today and don't deserve to play finals. Best of luck to Harry Petty on debut. I think our backline looks more balanced on paper and we should see Hibberd and Smith play more natural running roles. Still think we are one outside runner and one crumber short for my preferred set up but on a dry track it shouldn't be the difference today.

    Good summation. Pig needs to be running..releasing not ties up playing prison guard.

    Be interested to see who actually plays where.  Today we can reboot (pi ) but will we be allowed.

    Yeah the Aints ain't what they used to be...treat with contempt at your peril.

    Dees will want to be 5 up at the first break.StK have NOTHING to lose...we do....and we can be quite good at that !!

    Go Dees

    A win, and preferably a big one, will see us secure for another week.  A loss, and it will be time to lock up the cutlery drawer.

    Dees by a mile

    Will be watching from the couch. Looking forward to Petty’s debut and better use going inside 50. Can we also just leave TMac as the deepest fwd all game.

    Is it just wrong that im going today just knowing we will win? 

    But good to be back at the G and its going to be a nice day weather wise. Hope to see Hogan and Petracca bounce back and find form.

    Might be !!

    Demons will most likely test my resolve. Is it against the spirit to pay for a cheat day on the very first day?

    However,I shall soldier on manfully and expect my spirits to be uplifted by the Dees dishing out a jolly good thrashing 

    And hopefully they can then go out and best St. Kilda in a game of football too.


    Nervous about the outcome today .

    if they beat us at our own game we are doomed 

    Although id be trying to run run run if I was the saints. 

    Hopefully  we stand up have some meaningful inside fifty’s and get it done

    Would be the biggest upset of the year if we lost. 

    Wonder, just wonder, what are the umpires going to do to keep the Saints in the game - for an eventual victory, again at the MFC's expense. Just wouldn't put it past the umpires/AFL.

    We are a much better team than the Saints, and our form isnt as bad as 2 losses from our last 2 games suggests. We have something to prove.

    Us by 6 goals or more.

    until proven otherwise......that's EXACTLY our form...what is....IS

    I am feeling better about today than I have all week. Don't know if that is good or bad. If we lose it will be probably our season ( statistically not though ) and the train to Belgrave is torture after a loss.

    • 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?
