I think it’s going to be closer than what the odds suggest.

What’s the vibe like at the ground?

    I can see the day coming soon when players will carry pagers to get them off the ground.

    Hore is a pretty handy mature aged intercept marking defender , will give us good coverage for the likes of Lever who is still 5 weeks away.

    I know that's his reputation, but it didn't stand out to me that much in his JLT performances to me.

    This will cost the teams with selfish players. Teams with team orientated players will benefit. 

    Commentators on Thursday and Friday were noting that players on the ground were ignoring the bench to stay on the ground. I'm not sure if this was 100% accurate but if so it's not great from those individuals. 

    I wouldn’t call it selfish, if a player is involved with the play on the ground he isn’t going to pull out and run off the ground. 

    It’s just a reminder of what our game was like before Sheedy bought in his rotations in the early 90’s

    All players must go hard when it is their turn. 

    The Coach will now be very careful who he pulls to the bench late in every quarter, because there is a very high chance that they won’t get back on again

    Remember when players took a 10 minute “rest” in the forward pocket...?


    It’s a beautiful day at the G!

    Beer’s good. Perving excellent 

    And .... surprise surprise... the footy record is still $5.  .... including a free bag of nuts!!

    LG!’

    for when players don't follow coaches instructions.  The coach could have a big red button in the coaches box they could hit - would make great TV!

    Roy and HG talked about it during the 2000 Olympics

    When horses were walking sideways during the dressage events, it was all to do with how much voltage and current was being pumped into their nervous system!!

    I reckon that old Barassi would have loved an electric shock button.  Might have saved his blood pressure and a few phone head pieces.

    Think we might struggle to hit 40,000?

    Last time we played 'em at the 'G we got just over 27k there.  Hopefully we can do a little better this time around.  It is Port after all though, that's always going to keep the numbers down a little.

    In Bali for this one, surrounded by bogans with Bintang in hand at 10.30am, so really no different from when I’m in the MCC.

    Cmon Demons!

    • 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.
