I haven't been able to watch all of it but I think we have a new Dom Tyson- Stretch. I've seen 3 passes direct to a Collingwood player. PLease!

    Thanks for all the updates to those who were there or who could watch on the live stream.  Much appreciated.

    Good to see a positive outing to warm up for the real stuff and to come away with no injuries or major concerns.

    I can hear the jungle drums....DON'T STAND IN FRONT OF PREUSS!!! 

    Can you imagine dropping into the gap in front of Preuss on the lead. FMD let him have it.

    Preuss and Vanders are going to have more victims than Fred and Rose.

    I like the commentators call that if he found himself ‘in the hole in front of Braydon Preuss he couldn’t run out of it quick enough’. I would do the same

    Dees Win ???

     

    Melbourne 11 - 6 - 72

    Collingwood 7 - 6 - 48

     

    Is there to be a repeat screening, we missed it due to commitments - and I am sure that others will have missed the game, as well?

    Bloke at work who plays VFL reckons Marty Hore is an absolute jet and will fit in seamlessly to the AFL game. Hopefully can hold down Lever's spot until he returns and then who knows.

    This is just an assumption, but I'd wager they may put together a highlights package of the game, such as all the goals, later on in the day.

    All looked fine. Watched them leave the ground, just looked tired

    Thanks, Wise! I'd hoped that there would be some comment and depth, including a re-screening on the MFC site.

    Pretty sure there will be a full replay available on the website later today

    We have now beaten the Pies twice (out of 2) at their two home grounds in three weeks. Eddie and filth supporters must be dirty. Go both teams!

    So Preuss Rd 1?

    I'd have him in the best 22. He is dangerous and scares the shhit out of the opposition. The other advantage is that he can kick. A lock for me.

    • 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.
