Clearly a win would be preferable but above all else I just want to see Vandenberg back amongst it and to get through unscathed. 
I just loved watching the brute this bloke put out on the park and can’t wait to see it again. It’s been a while!

    I’m probably getting a bit too excited for just a practice game, but I can’t bloody wait. Might have also had too much coffee. Is it beer O’clock yet?

    Be interesting to see how Melksham and Frisch go up forward with the support of T Mac, Weid and Brown as opposed to being the number 1 and 2 forward’s - per the last month of last year.

    Both teams probably have about the same quality and quantity out so would be hoping for a win. We need to get back in that winning frame of mind - for the players and supporters.

    Just want to see an improvement in skill going inside 50. Last year was deplorable in that area. 

    Getting ready to go, can’t wait. Just shows I need a life!!!

    I'm hoping to see us run the game out strongly - let's see what Burgess's efforts materialize into.

    Mystery injury of the week strikes again. 

    No replacement suggests they expected him to play, as it seems all the carry over players took part in the game yesterday. 

    Hopefully this means it's nothing terribly serious. 


    Hopefully its a management thing with Fritta, believe he hasnt missed a session and has been one of the clear stand out all summer.

    SWYL is on international duties at present, so a full description of the game would be enormously appreciated. 
     

    that is all

    Carry on

    Hi from the Pink city of Jaipur

    Traffic has stopped here and the local population awaits with bated breath the commencement of this epic game.

    According to google translate there are many words for demons in Hindi but let us say they will all soon be chanting.....

    GO APADUTA !!

    Stunning day out here.imageproxy.php?img=&key=735da9576a39b017

     Eatiful day for drying the washing here. Looking forward to updates from the Casey fields

    Definitely a bit of excitement and it’s good to see most here share that view. No real expectations other than I’m interested in seeing how Trac is used, how Mitch Brown fits and our Pickett looks. There’s probably more but I’m happy to just observe.

    • 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.
