Taking my 4 year old to his first game of the year. We have country memberships. Anyone know if we just scan at the gate or do we need to nominate the game somehow and get a ticket in another way? Just unsure how the five games are counted. 

Your country membership will scan you into the general admission areas.

    Gameday Prediction(s):

    - Hunt will kick four majors.

    - Jeremy Cameron will be reported.

    - Toby Greene will kick five majors. 

    - Hore will take seven intercept marks. 

    As long as Hunt kicks the first of the game I’ll be happy at the end of the day ?

     

    The suns have shown what’s possible with a no name list, they’ve pushed some good sides up until 3/4 time. I had us getting flogged last week, but not only did we come to play, we played with purpose. Giants have some skilful players but so do we. What’s annoying me the most is that this year the flag is there for the taking, and we waited until round 9 to have a serious crack.

    With both SA clubs losing this weekend this game has become that much more important... A win here and we are just a single game behind 7th and 8th spot. 

    Yes one game behind the records of 7th and 8th but given our %, we would effectively be two games off a top 8 spot. Lose today and we are still three games off.

    Our poor percentage is basically worth another game. Teams would be licking their lips to play us, because even if they lose against us they don't stand to lose much percentage given we barely score and don't win by much.

    I fully expect to know within the first 5 minutes if we are in this. We are well under the odds after last weeks great effort. If we were favorites Id say we won't win. But strangely enough because we arent, we are a very good chance.

    I have gone for Melbourne to be in front at the end of each quarter. ($4)

    cant see us getting beat today       we match up very well                   on every line and they have to beat us

    Love the optimism. 

    Let me temper that. 

    We will be obliterated today. 

    By the side that managed 38 points against the Hawks

    Just completed a very pleasant spa and steam at the RACV club ( of which I am surprisingly still a member, given Biffen’s past drunken efforts to get me banned)

    Anyway I am feeling almost positive and predict a close win- alternatively we will get flogged!

    Salem out hurts...

    BIG time!

    So that's no Lever, May, Salem, Jetta, Hibberd.

    Ridiculous.

    And Melksham, Hannan, AVB ... Probably one or 2 others as well.

    Christ, just saw. Spargo comes in? Don’t know what to make of that.

    Spargo has done absolute nothing at VFL and now he gets a recall. What the??. We are in trouble. Just hope he can actually do something today. Bit more than his normal 30 odd SC points.

    To put it kindly a bizarre selection in Spargo. Back in on the back of 2 weeks out on top of a poor VFL game.

    Goody still feeling under the weather or what!??

    Really not good news for Salem who has a history of concussions.

    I didn’t think he did?

    Thyroid yes but can’t recall him having too many concussions.

    & it's a real shame because it looks as though our system has finally got going (some what)... but there's always a tipping point when it comes to injuries & today's late out may prove to be just that.

    • 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.
