OK, its here.  I think this is a really important one.  Have we ‘turned the corner’ or was the hawks game just a blip?  How we play and getting the chokkies is so important today.

 

Channeling 2016 and 2017:

We'll be given a run in the first half and then smash it open in the second. I will still be annoyed and mostly bored.

Expecting a close game. GC have been pretty competitive all year. Dees by 72. 

 

First game all season ive been confident of a win.   Called the Round  1 loss to Port unfortunately.

We will win by 10 goals minimum today and continue our road back from 1-5 all the way to a deep finals run

Scrappy game to the point where I’ll be wanting to gouge my eyes out with a butter knife. 

Suns by 17 points. 

Season red rover. 

Suns have rightly been given credit for their start to the season. However, they are 3-4 with a percentage of 76 compared to same round last year (3-4, 81%) when we played them. 

So a loss here would demonstrate how dramatically we’ve fallen off the cliff.

With that being said, we should be winning this one.

Serious danger game..... should win comfortably.... either we lose by 10 or win by ? 

 

not even game to predict which one!

 

 

 

Always tough these games, win & it’s “oh only GC”. Lose and it’s “how bad losing to GC” We simply must just bank the 4 points to keep the season alive, try keep building on 2 wins a row and keep this season alive. A loss and it’s curtains obviously

Well I have no idea what to expect. I don't have foxtel so can't watch it at home so will be checking the scores. I hate listening to game on the radio when you can't see what is happening. 

But I expect to win, I hope we do and there are no injuries. 


GC getting a few good players back and up there, it'll be tough. Think we will get done by 3-4 goals

We should get the job done in a scrappy game by about 20 points. Similar to the Sydney game 

I predict that if we lose watch the 'Sack Everyone...', and 'Sack X' threads be resurrected with a vengeance!

In which case a self imposed holiday from DL for a few days to avoid the meltdowns will be a good idea.

Dees by 10 points, perhaps. With OMac in, might have to concede the game to the GC, with runners sneaking in behind him for shots  at their goals - often. If Omac comes off for the bench, a 20 point win to the Dees. 

As I'm confident of a  win I would have loved to escape the chill by going north to watch this game. However, as there is something of a cash flow crisis at The Manor, I shall settle for the big screen.

For once let’s support the team regardless 56. OMac bashing 5 hours before the bounce hey? Let’s at least wait until 5 minutes into the game before it commences. 

Not sure how many times we have to read about how useless he is to some.

C’mon Demons!

He’s not alone- most key forwards are struggling - ? New rules.

Win or lose today I don't think will mean much. Wet coke, GWS, Adelaide and the filth. Given our form we would be lucky to win one of them.

Yeah i dont know.....on paper yes but i think West Coast are not traveling all that well in 10th spot and falling, ......Pies are beatable, as are Adelaide. GWS shaping as the hardest of the 4. Today will go a ways to indicate further how we may fair...

For next 4 weeks I'm going to be taking a uni course at RMIT and will be finishing today about 5 mins before the ball is bounced. Most likely gonna have to duck in to one of those terrible Lygon pubs..

Anyhoo, yeah big game but let's face it they all are from here on in. Not flashing forward or jumping ahead in my mind just looking forward to finishing today and seeing me some red and blue go around.

    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.

    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?
