    So we don't play today?

    No point risking injury to a pointless game

    The season is over

    Bangkok is a ghost town right now

    Food is only take out

    Melbourne will be the same very soon

    CLOSE THE SCHOOLS...

    Yeah I just read that on The Guardian. Tough conditions for the boys to play under.

    ....

    With the game going ahead I wonder whether the news will make the players go harder or play more like a practice match.  It seemed to me that the games I've watched on TV (where else!) weren't very tough.  Or was I influenced by lack of crowd noise?

    I wouldn’t be going flat out, that’s for sure. 
    Hospital beds are scarce as of now. 
    everything should stop now

    Cities are going to be in lock down for months

    Dan Andrews just said that he's listened to the advice of SWYL and is closings schools from Monday. 

    Fyi, Melbourne is also a ghost town. The people are listening to you. 

    Thank you.

    The game needs to go ahead. If the season resumes in a couple of months we need all clubs on equal games played.  Besides I want see if have improved over last seasons debacle.

    We knew all of this yesterday, and in the days before that.

    The game was as much a waste of time then as it is now, so not sure why the big shift here to not play other than the as yet unconfirmed report that we moved hotels and some players were sick.

    Everyone else has got to see their team play. I want my turn.  It'll be the last time for a while

    Nah, go hard as, they all have 4 to 6 to get over any injuries. Make the trip worthwhile, far from a junk game, show how hard you worked for this season.

    • 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.
