Why are kozzi and brown not playing???

 

Loving Jay Lockhart's pre-season.  That was terrific play.

And that was out on the full!

 

 

No doubt we should be further ahead, and our kicking for goal continues to need some work, but we're the better side here.  Our defense is working well, our mids are on top and I feel as though we're a chance to score every time we go forward.

Can't ask too much more than that from a first term in dewy conditions.

‘Demons dominant without capitalising..’

if I only had a dollar...


VDB went to the Matthew Bate school of below the knees.

Lockhart has a bit of Petracca about him. 

True, I thought that was trac at the start of that play!

And against the wind.

That made me vomit in my mouth a little.

Umps getting their one game in Launceston where the oppo gets a fair run out of the way in pre-season 

Good first quarter. Tomlinson, Petracca and Brayshaw playing well.


Lockhart and Brayshaw have been great.

Welcome back skipper Gawn!

Jees, Lockhart really look like a player; always wants to take the game on and attack.  Look like a miniature Petracca.

Liking Lever down back and Oscar looks much more assured as the third tall.

TMac is looking like his old self and Gawn and Brayshaw have played themselves into the game well.

Langdon and Tomlinson will be HUGE additions this year.

  • 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.
