God I love seeing these topics

I'll be playing cricket (fresh if a man of the match 2/3, 2 clutch catches and a 13* to steer the innings home) but can't wait to watch the replay

    Remember kids:

    This match means nothing if we lose, but we are premiership favourites if we win. There is no in between.

    For some it's the other way around with a spoon as the reward if we lose. 

    True. But I pretend those supporters don't exist.

    To those who have been to these pre-season matches at Casey what’s the recommended time to allow before the match to get in and find a park? Also is there much likelihood of a lock out or will rocking up with a membership be fine?

    Predictions anyone?

    Dees by 5 points. Why?

    Blind hope after 2019.

    Never seen a lockout at any of the ones I've been to and not many Crows would know where Casey is.

    40mins before kick off would be ample time and we have been as late as 15mins before and still got a reasonable park. Having a FWD has helped at times.

    Thanks for the tips! I think we’ll work of a timeframe along those lines, now 4WD available though so I’m thankful for it not being a wet day!

    This will be our first hit out against 'real' opposition, and we are fielding a strong team that, from all accounts, have had a strong pre-season.  It should be a good indicator of how we are travelling at this early stage.  I'll be disappointed if we don't win

    Yeah agree I’m just going to turn up with my membership shouldn’t be any need to pay extra....last year v Lions was about 4000 I think

    Totally agree, we’ve had pretty bullish talk from the club and Adelaide are probably in more of a rebuild mode than challenging. 

    I’ve been living in London for the last 3 years and worked a lot of weekends before that I honestly can’t imagine when my last “live” win was. I know it’s pre-season, but I really want to watch a win with my own eyes. I was also lucky enough to see 2 weeks of the season proper in 2018, somehow managed to get two of our worst weeks of the year in Hawks and Tigers.

    True but a section of the ground is blocked off so it may be more cramped.

    Agreed.

    People say preseason games dont mean much...  thats rubbish.    When we lost both preseason games last season many supporters thought something felt off.  The rest is history...

    A lot to look forward to today. Main watch is Trac, interested to see how much time he spends in the middle.

    Whilst everyone likes a positive result I will be calling it a win if there are no injuries however other key themes I am looking for. Signs of return to form/fitness of the 2018 clan. Bright spots from our second and first years that show they will push claim. A more balanced game style that is strong at the contest but more so improved on the outside and defensively.

    I’m in Wagga.

    Anyone know if this game is broadcast via online radio or any other media or do I just check in here for reports from you fine people?


    Are there any indicators from the emergencies  that did or didn't run out yesterday as to the full extent of the side that will take to the field today?

    Seeing that side named, whilst not totally unexpected for the likes of T Mac and Melksham, was like an early Christmas present with respect to the likes of AVB.  I guess we will see by the end of the day if that named team was just a dream or turns out to be a nightmare.

    SEN used to do pre season games and you could listen on their website, not sure if they are this year though

    • 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.

      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.
