Just imagine how cold it would be standing there. I imagine the players would be itching for a run or some game play just to warm up.

I still remember that game in the 1970s when the fog was so thick that players couldn't see what was going on at the other end of the ground. Someone here will remember it, but I think it was a Carlton v Fitzroy game.

    It was round 21,1971. I recall it because I got 6 right for the third week in a row in a Football tipping competition at work. With 5 rounds to go I was 6 points behind. I got 6 right in the last round and won by 1 Point.

    must say..the faux training reports are in keeping with season.

    Never thought I'd miss the training the house down versions from our usual followers.

    Tis a strange world

    Must say I'm quite impressed by the 90s pop culture references from today's youth.

    • 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.
