Spoke to Max’s family member this morning. She said he was unusually quiet but very much in the zone and very focused. Hope his team mates are there with him.

Go Dees ❤️?

    Wow.

     

    Can see at least 20 plus dees supporters at station.

     

    We are out in full force tonight!!

    I’m on a train full of Dees supporters. Everyone is upbeat and chatty. It’s a nice change.

    I don't know what to say.

    I don't know what to do.

    I have no insights, no analysis, no words of wit.

    Nothing.

    Not nervous, but full of anxious energy. A shower then off to the G.

    Will get nervous if the game continues to be close the longer it gets. But [censored] it, optimism here, looking forward to attending my first Dees final in 12 years.

    Will be there in full voice tonight. Hope for an overwhelming Dees crowd, and an argument or 2 with [censored] supporters!

    A benefit of being on the Sandringham line. Im carrying a spare scarf for a Carlton supporter that sill be watching the game with me and another mate. A condition of supplying extra ticket was that they wear a Melbourne scarf and face paint. 

    Lots of anxious energy, need a drink.

    Anyone outside the G, how busy are we looking?

     

    Wondering if there's time for a few quick pints ?

    Morrison, Findlay and Chamberlain the umpires tonight.

    Gus's mate is a plus, ?, but more importantly no bald pr!ck tonight

    My life in a nutshell.

    Just got into the members now. Massive turnout which isnt a surprise.  Jones, brayshaw and salem came out for a walk and everyone turned around and cheered.

    i'm surprised about how lacking in nerves i am

    just genuinely excited

    As I

    Ive no idea what the outcome will really be but I SUSPECT we'll win and it'll be well deserved.

    I think we'll have a real crack at this  as youd think...but some teams get the yips and do rabbit impressions.

    Absolutely game on tonight. The boys are hungry...but they have some calmer heads directing the team energy.

    Quite , and quietly, confident we'll avenge our own Demons.

    A Friday night in Alice, always a lot of shouting from the drunks in Todd river, well tonight I reckon I am going to put them to shame, I pity anyone wanting to go to sleep living within a 100m radius

    Just warned the neighbours!

    Apparently even if we lose tonight, we are still in with a shot. At least according to Slobbo we are.

    • 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?
