    Being a Friday night, chances are Carlton is one of the teams in the curtain raiser.

    A Channel 7 directive apparently.

    Understandable given they were power club in the 70s and early 80s....


    Finished work and on my way to the g. I'm not nervous yet but its weird to think im going to watch my team play finals footy. 

    I got asked if could do a double shift tonight and said no way im off to the footy finals.

    I  just hope our young players don't play like the hawks youngsters last night. They were like deer in headlights

    10 mins to go. Beat traffic (hopefully). Get home and kiss the little one. Neck as many bourbons as possible. Get on train. Become nervous wreck.

    In WA and was going to watch at the paddo with western dees but feel too nervous . Will sit at home with a shandy or two. Lose and will mope around , win wish I had watched at pub but be glad I didn’t as I would be a wreck on Saturday!

     


    Almost time for my early exit.  It's been a very unproductive afternoon.  Heading in from Geelong on the train with my 16 year old son.  Been waiting for this moment for 12 long years.  

    Hopefully the players are feeling much calmer than I am.  Go Dees!!!

    Sounds like dees supports may need their own AA branch!

    About to arrive at the Duke for a few calming pre-game Boags. 

    Coopers pale long neck at ponyfish island , such a melbourne thing to do . 

    Was frightened to see the speed of the game last night , have we produced anything this season that resembles that ? Probably not 

    we are cleaner and trying for bigger things hopefully we can play our game tonight. 

    Cmon demons

    Well I wasn’t about to stand there and scull it out of a brown paper bag in front of everyone.

    At 10pm tonight it would have been a different story.

    • 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?
