If we get on top of their midfield, forward line and back line, we’ll win. 

Once again Ethan - a brilliant and succinct analysis. 

Where would we be without your insights.?

    Just arrived back at The Manor and read Ethan's preview to bring me up to date.

    Had a terrible week really. Purchased what I thought were very sexy and moderately priced undies for the maid and it turns out they were face masks.

    Next, when I started talking up a Demons win the maid fled.

    Anyway I've been driving around all arvo searching for her. Didn't find her sadly but I lifted the spirits of the local serfs by letting them see me and giving them a wave.

    Now i'm cracking a reasonably priced shiraz quaffer and putting an obscenely fat steak on the barbie ( barbie as in cooking appliance that is).

    I'm super confident again. We showed some very convincing signs last week ( albeit  against a [censored] Hawthorn) and reckon we'll only get better this week. 

    Kozzie to kick a couple. Jones to surprise. Viney to cause serious injury. Dees by 27 !!!

    Just got poured on waiting to get in. Luckily they opened the gates 5 minutes early. Was a big downpour for about 5 minutes and now just lightly raining. Think it should pass soon.

    The “Before the Bounce” videos have been really good this year. 
    Well played to those involved.

    Well he is tastefully and responsibly attired Jim but I'm not certain.

    The rearview of the Sheila looks familiar though.

    Until getting trapped in Oz I've spent most of my adult life living in time-zones west of Australia. I thought getting up at 5am in Europe to watch the football was a drag. But having to wait until after 5pm is much worse. 

    Mate even having to wait till 10h today. What am I meant to do? Watch Eagles v the Pies? ?

    Well is was pissing down when we arrived and now a light mist of rain. Hopefully no more rain. 
     

    That’s the report from the weather man on location ?

    It’s our home away from home.

    Don't think we'll win this. The Lions are in the kind of form we are merely aspiring to be in right now. Will be happy with a gutsy, tight and close game (and would of course be elated with a win!). The only thing that would upset me is seeing any kind of regression and a low-effort performance.

     

    Other than a good win against Port they haven't beaten much. Got thrashed by the Cats too

    Club has issued vision of the heavens opening up over the ground.

    Apparently, 100.2mm of rain fell at the Gold Coast Seaway to 9am Sunday morning. This was the highest daily July rain for the station since 2005.

    2020. What a year. 
     


    At least we should handle the wet conditions OK, we are after all from Melbourne????? what a crazy old world this Covid-19 world is...........WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

     

    Go Dee's, give us all something to smile about in old Melbourne Town.???!!!

    Anyone have any idea what the weather is like up on the Gold Coast today??

    Brisbane is better than us. Big question about whether we can perform against a side stronger than GC/Carlton, mid-table sides.

    But I'm really looking forward to it. If we play the same way we did last week, we can certainly win.

    • 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.
