You owe me half if it happens! ?

I’m shocking with 1st goal scorers I remember couple years ago I had some $$ on hogan for 1st goal he took mark in goal square so I turned to celebrate with mates and while I was doing that he handballs to a team mate who kicks a goal

    but waiting for the really busy time when trains are in demand (i.e. football season) to begin all this work seems absurd

    i understand that they have to spend their cash in the lead up to budget changes to ensure they get the same capex and opex in the next fin year, but their timing is, as always, impeccable

    it's like how the scg trust waits for cricket season to finish before ripping down stadia that would otherwise have been in core demand...cos the five days of test cricket and 3 one-dayers must not be messed with!

    We raised the bar, and it's now time to meet the lofty standards we set for ourselves.  It starts today!  Kill 'em Demons!

    My MFCSS is running riot. This is one of the most important 1st games we have had for a while.

    Currently relaxing at The Manor. The maid is looking quite splendid in her new blue fishnets and red apron.

    I shall head off shortly and join the common folk on the Scumbury line - no buses thank [censored].

    I’m so excited. It’s been such a long Summer. I’ve been counting the sleeps.

    Congratulations to Max Gawn on his 100th game. ❤️?

    I can imagine the exquisite hors d'oeuvres and high end bubbles you would be consuming. 

    Roumd 1 comes around a lot faster following a deep run into September!

    preseason was a blink of an eye

    Nervous. Very. Very. Nervous. 

    I don’t have a good feeling about today and the miserable Melbourne weather isn’t helping. 

    Go Dees!

     

    The sun is coming up here over the Straits of Malacca.

    A new season dawns and the hopes and expectations are high.

    My kayo account stands ready..

    Go Dees

    • 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?
