Good on ya Nev and well done and best of luck to the debutantes.  May you have a win first up.

Anyone else find these elbow bumps etc a bit of a futile exercise, considering the number of sweaty, salivating players in packs, tackling opponents and all touching the same footy?

    If the hoarders return all the toilet paper will things go back to normal?

    No. I'm either going to need all of it to either cry into if we lose tonight, or (as @Bitter but optimistic would say) give myself a jolly good flogging should we win.

    Bruise free football coming up for both teams... and fair enough. 

    There is genuinely no point playing.... perhaps someone can tell me what political mechanics allowed the football season to begin anyway.

    Leave it all out on the park tonight boys! Break a leg & she'll be right to go by rnd 2

     

    Go dees. 

    Thanks to all posters and huge thanks to Andy for keeping demonland going.

    I am always positive during the preseason. Exciting we get another one. By golly we will be fit!

    Go redleggers

    Nope, you can include all of WA in that Blood!

    Except you of course @Chook in Perth

    Two points and WC go coast to coast from kickouts without us getting a touch


    Bit late to the party but there’s nothing but strange feelings. Haven’t felt like this since the merger game in 96. 

    Poor kicking hurting us right now. 

    Nothing has changed from last year. Turnovers, short kicks to opposition. Unfunctional forward line.

    Oh no. That game i was very angry and [censored] off. This game is a lot more insignificant for me.

    OPPO waltzing out of the backline all day

    Social distancing in our forwardline going strong. Nobody getting near it.

    • 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.
