Shame the Tigers aren't playing this weekend.  Injury concerns: 

  • Dusty has a corked thigh from last week. 
  • Rioli sent off for scans after hurting his finger at training. 
  • Lambert left training early and limped off.

They all seem fairly minor and will be ok for their Prelim.  Damn it!  They have been blessed with injuries to first and second string players.  Surely, lady luck needs to go elsewhere now.  She has helped the Tigers enough!

    Back to this week:  GWS vs Coll.

    Would prefer GWS to beat our arch enemy and I reckon they have a better chance of knocking off the Tigers in their Prelim!

    Looks like nothing much there. They are cautious and rightfully so with a week off.

    Returning the favour and going to the footy tomorrow night with my husband. As much as I despise GWS, it’s in my genetic material to dislike Collingwood and I am not sure that I will be able to utter the words ‘Go Pies’ regardless.

    Big dilemma....

    The idea of a Melbourne vs Filth grand final is delicious, but I think Id just rather see them go out in straight sets like the Hawks.

    A final 4 without Geelong, Hawthorn , Sydney ad Collingwood is the perfect outcome.

    The Richmond club doctor, their medical and rehab team are the best thing going around in the AFL since sliced bread. Nothing to see there.

    Changing of the guard time:  :...for the first time since 2002 next week's preliminary finals will be played without either Hawthorn, Geelong or the Sydney Swans participating".

    Isn't that a bl00dy good thing!!

    Time for the young pups to take over!  Like us, yeah!

    For all the heartache we have been through to have had a successful rebuild and be in the position we are now to take on the newcomers is awesome.

    I have a funny feeling the giants will beat both the pies and the tigers.

    I would love this. In finals over the years we have won 19 out of 20 times against Collingwood.

    Not sure this is the way the official AFL app should be promoting a game (or a specific players antics) :

    Is the 20th, the 1958 Grand Final, when they stopped us winning 5 flags in a row?  Sam's grandad, Murray Weideman was their captain and kicked the winning goal.  Our 1964 Premiership players are still filthy about missing that flag.

    Then we beat them in the our last flag in 1964.

    With that rich history and young Sam Weideman in our team there would be much symbolism if the old rivalry was relit in a GF of Dees vs Pies -   Would love to beat them again.

    yeah.. but at least you'd get  a cheap ticket and in a perverse way if we can't be there I kind of like that match up

    • 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.
