Consistency.

In team lineup (as much as possible), game plan, effort, energy and performance.

 

Teams to lineup at start of game, according to the listed team sheets as of Thursday evening.   And restricted number of positional moves Per Qtr.

    Two way running from our midfield. Max and Harmes excluded because they already do it.

    At which point they should like suspend any Essendrug side from competing in season 2020, no top-ups, just no Essendrug FC.

    If we can get through a full season without a reference to English Flogball, it will mean we had a good season.

    That's enough for me.

    Melbourne to develop the mentality they’ve lacked for many years - to not back off when they’re in front but to pressure on and win in a way that the opponent won’t forget quickly

    Petracca to have a great year playing midfield forward - where he absolutely dominates a couple of games - 25+ touches & 5+ goals

    Gus Brayshaw play in the middle. Not the wing, not the flanks, on the ball. He (and he's mate Petracca for that matter) were drafted as the best midfielders in their draft, play them there.

    Having a year where we end up with a stunningly positive free kick differential like the Western Bulldogs did on their premiership year.

    Some backmen staying on the ground (not 3+ Dees going up for the same ball) to get the crumbs, rather than watching opposition forwards waltz into easy goals

    I'm also looking forward to Jack Viney renewing acquaintances with Sydney Stack on ANZAC Eve.

    I too would like to see to it that Troy Chaplin be given the power of performing miracles in 2020.

    • 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.
