I think we will win today.

Come at me bros.

 

Also have a gut feeling we’ll win. Not much logic involved, just a feeling.

That forward line gets me about as pumped as a two day old party balloon. Freo by 27 points.

Clarry v Fyfe and May v Hogan head to head will be fun to watch though.


A game a half average team should win. Playing an interstate team at home after a week rest. However unless it Carlton or Suns I have zero confidence particularly as Freo unlike us has the making of a pretty good team. They knocked off Collingwood so cant see them to worried about Melbourne. Whilst you always want to win in some way it will take more losses to wake this club out of it complacency and accept major change is needed. For the long term winning more game like this will just assign this year as unlucky and once luck return we will be competitive. Essendon have fallen for this trap and with our player and coach set up irrespective of winning a few game now how can you be confident of the future. 

Watch out for the New Rules........... run as far as you like, push the nearest opposition player into crowd whenever the opportunity arises, talk lovingly to opposition and  the judiciary.

Cannot fail....

Best of luck to Jade Rawlings in his first game back as forward line coach.

Heres hoping his influence has us kick 15+ goals and win by at least 4.

    I don’t believe we will win today. That said, I’m that far behind in my tipping comp I’ve gone for us. 

    Strategy. 

    I’m fully expecting a great game from No 11.........and I’m sure Max will also play a blinder....

    We’ve gone from $1.85 to $1.67 over night.

    Firstly why are we favourites?

    Secondly who had a big nibble on us last night and does he have some insider trading?

    I have no idea what to expect today.  A good start and kicking straight would help.

    So are people going to boo jesse today? I'm annoyed he left but with what he has been through i get it. I won't boo but I'm hoping he has a shocking day. May and hogan will be a good matchup.  

    I also don't think it will be a great crowd

    My thoughts too.

    Hope he doesn’t get booed but hope he has a dirty and undisciplined day.

    Expecting not much more than we delivered against GWS but will be happy if wrong.

    The three outs have certainly deflated the interest in this match.

    Why would anyone boo Hogan... infantile to say the least for those who do.

    Crowd wise if we crack 20k we will do well.. certainly won't have to worry about having less than half a section to myself in the AFL members.

    Someone’s had a red hot go

    Thought the same thing no way should we be favorite for this game.

    Things have been a tad chilly at Romsey of late.

    I intend venturing forth to the warmer clime of Melbourne and basking in a mighty Demon victory.

    If your as bitter as you are optimistic then I pity your friendship circle

    No way we will win this. MCG is turning out to be a jinx of a ground for us these days.

    It's part of the theatre of the sport. Don't take yourself too seriously.

    $1.65 now, some punters probably still think Jesse plays for us.

    “Friendship circle” ? Got me on that one Josh!

    However, I must be lucky today. Dropped into the club for a pre game warmup. The moment I entered the spa everyone else chose to leave. Same with the sauna. 

    Go figure!

    Today’s crowd number  will be the perfect example of why we play games in Darwin

    • 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.
