How does the "If we lose to the Suns I will..." thread have more post than this thread?

    Looking at the ground last night it looks like an absolute cows paddock.

    Fingers cross for no injuries.

    I like our selected side. I reckon we will win comfortably 

    I am particularly looking forward to watching Bennell and an improved VDB, now that he has a couple of games under his belt

    In a joyous celebration of my returned optimism, I shall give the maid a jolly good pre game rollicking !

    I am truely surprised you can summons some Bbo. 

     

    Dees by 4 goals.

    Weid to kick three, Bennell to have an impact and Clarrie will respond to the criticism with a vintage game in the middle.

    It’s a balancing act od !

    Dictated largely by whether I guzzle large amounts of vin ordinaire or The Manor’s budget allowing me to savour a higher quality Shiraz


    It’ll be interesting to see us play against a team that attacks and doesn’t play keeping off. 
    should mean we can hit the scoreboard for once. I too expect a win but the suns have been very good this year

    Raining and predicted to last all day. Will be a slippery wet slog.

    It seemed very slippery last night on the tv, so even though I like the addition of two talls I sort of lol’d to myself that this could be perceived as the game you don’t want to bring in talls (it’s almost like he’s trying to select the wrong team ? - only at Melbourne)!! Looking forward to it anyway! Go dees!

    Can you imagine the quality of game this will produce could well be 1 goal each at half time.

    Feeling the same way. Think all the media heat and the hub will galvanise the group.

    In a lot of games RN a good thrashing would be preferable to be forced to watch the game.

    Got some pork fillet marinating in a Chinese BBQ brine, some home made Italian venison sausages, a couple of car from porterhouse steaks all going on the smoker and a bottle of Hently farm Shiraz* 

    The final piece of the puzzle is a pineapple of the sun's paying $2.40 as an insurance policy...

    Games against Gold Coast have historically been positive turning points in our season, so I'm tipping that to continue.  2 and 3 with the team playing a more confident, connected brand of footy and things won't seem anything like as bad as they do right now.

    • 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.
