They are mostly Casey players with a sprinking of Demons - mainly younger brigade like Rivers, Bradtke, Jordon, Bedford, Hore, Baker plus Jayden Hunt and Josh Wagner.

    We have, but so far we've kicked 10 points and 4 out on the full.

    I was going to go with "Our first shot for goal went through for a behind and there's no opposition to kick it back into play".

    Pidge would be Andy McGrath maybe? Jones is one of their draft picks I think.

    This is a big mismatch in talent. No one is to read anything into this game. Essendon a grade talent having a field day. Nice to see Rivers in a Dees jumper though

    I was immediately thinking Glenn McGrath and Dean Jones.

    McGrath makes good sense for a nickname of Pidge ?. Don't mind me, Bit on the slow side this afternoon.

    I believe all tweets about this game should have the disclaimer in this tweet.

    Geez, my 15 year old nephew is playing for Casey.

    When there are long gaps between Melbourne tweets there are either 2 things happening. Either neither team is scoring, or Essendon is scoring. I tend to think it is the later rather than the former.

    Regardless, with the players we're using compared to them, I'm taking nothing from this game. Unless we win of course.

    Young Dees (Casey) playing pretty well can’t be unhappy with the effort

    The first Casey match is not until round 3 of the AFL season and the boys are of course not fulltime footballers.

    Interested to hear of any individual efforts etc

      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?
