    Damn it 


    Good start to the day. Choice of seats at this stage. Don't be fooled by the blue sky, it's bread monkeys here in the wind. 

     

    I know in modern footy that being tough is putting your head over the ball and going when it's your turn. But you need mongrel in finals. Who provides the protection and does the damage for us?  I like Kent for name-related reasons, and TMac is a hard man.  We've got plenty of talent and no squibs. But who are GWS afraid of?

    Such a meh change. JKH has shown zero at senior level, would have liked Bugg in ahead of him. Bugg for all of his issues has shown his best at senior level is well ahead of JKHs. (Hopefully no-one sooks up at a view on what we have seen from JK).

    [censored] a duck. [censored] change. Injuries are just pissing me off so much this season  

    JHK is just such a nothing addition.

    I'm a late out, so will be part of the TV audience.

    I have a feeling. It started in my nethers ( a sure sign of veracity) and is evolving. Because I can't be there, I reckon Melbourne will have a mighty win today. 

    This momentum will then carry us into a glorious victory in the Elim final.

    I will have to rejig the nethers before subsequent predictions. 

    BBO - late out (nethers)

    Bugg would've only added 1 Goal 3 Behinds and 1 Out on full

    Prefer JKH for his defensive run

    Hannan was great last week.  Hopefully just a 1 week injury.

    Just need JKH to not be a liability and we should be ok.

    Big shout out to the MFC for embracing and rewarding their members this week. My 8-year old won the ‘Junior Mascot experience’ for today’s game. She’ll be running out with the boys, through the banner! Asked who she’d like to run out with (they get a choice), she said without hesitation, “Clarry, and if not him, Max.” She knows her footy! Great reward for a dedicated young Demon.

    So no-one else doing the lap of honour? Surely someone else had nothing better to do on weekends and went to every single home game! ?

    Massive chance for JKH to miraculously get a spot in a finals side after looking gone all year. Let's back him in!

    Would have been good for Hannan to have another run before finals and add to last weeks effort. 

    JKH to break the corralling stat record.

    Perfect chance go's begging to see what Bugg could produce late in the season.

    JKH provides defensive run? Oh well he's in let's hope he plays out of his skin.

    • 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.

      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?
