Well ... here it is ... are we excited... probably not

Coniglio has ruled himself out which leaves spots to be found for Greene and possibly Whitfield.

Richmond will be raging favourites and deserve to be.

Do GWS have someone to stop Martin, Lynch and Riewoldt?

Will Cameron do a Tredrea and sacrifice his game by playing upfield and allowing the likes of Finlayson to kick a bag?

And of course how will the prospective Demon in Tomlinson fare?

    Pretty sure it's not here yet. Tigers should win, but GWS has me on the bandwagon.

    In the battle between draft concessions and free agency, I'm going to go with my heart and say "Well, at least Richmond are an actual football club that has some kind of meaning, and at least they actually had to persevere through real adversity to get to the top".

    I cannot get even a little excited about a GWS win.  It quite simply would be bad for football.  I'm already dry-retching at the headlines about the big turnouts and 'Giants army coming to training'.

    I want too see big Mummy in perhaps his last game, run straight through Martin, Cotchin and a few others early on. I am sure that would frighten the bejesus out of many of their team mates. 

    In fact if I was Leon Cameron I’d have Mummy talking to the media about his intentions right now! Remember Dusty giving Mummy a snort gesture earlier in the year? It’s payback time. 

    The Bunyip Banger is looking for you Dusty! Good luck!

    I'm tipping general apathy will make it back to back wins.

    Could we have a repeat of the Alistair Lynch "massacre".

    Had not thought about that.

    could very well be a balmey first quarter

    If Melbourne can’t win the premiership this year , then frankly I prefer if no one wins it. Therefore GWS winning would be the closest thing to no one winning it IMO.

    in all honesty though I think the giants are a sneaky chance this week, they are playing with momentum and have gone through playing on the road and missing key players

    tigers played their grand final last week 

    will be very interesting

    For anyone undecided who they want to win, would you rather see 100,000 feral, rabid, arrogant and passionate people shattered and heart broken after a loss or the 15 orange people that probably couldn't give a toss that they've lost and will move onto following Sydney Roosters the following week?
     

    The answer's pretty simple i would've thought.

    I feel that way about GWS.

    If Richmond win, they will equal our record of 12 flags.  Duck fat!

    They’ve won 6 flags I think since 1965 , now going for a 7th . 

    7 flags since they interloped into the MCG

    True... interesting to see how GWS back up after a gruelling slog in the wet last week . Whitfield and Greene are handy inclusions though. 

    I also think the Tiges too had to dig deep after staring down the barrel at HT last week , they were pretty average in the 1st half.

    GWS have been very physical with their starts over the final series.

    Could be a fiery first quarter

    Tigers to get 'Mummified?

    Expect Dusty to be targeted.

    With our luck they'll use Tomlinson and he'll come over with a six match ban !!!!

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
