So excited I canā€™t sleep.

Cannot wait to sit down in the MCC with my Dad and two brothers for the first time since 2019.

Just quietly, really looking forward to a few frothies while seated in the stands too. 

Letā€™s go Dees!

    Enjoy your day. Am in Sect 4 in outer In Great Southern Stand.

    Getting 7.40 am flight from Brisbane to o by here on this iconic day which figuratively means so much for  us.
     

    We must make a statement with a performance like vs Tigers in practice game. That would be good enough to win by 3/4 goals today I imagine.

    Iā€™ll hardly get any sleep either - but for different reasons. Match starts at 3:45 a.m. for me.

    Wonder what sort of crowd we'll get. I'm predicting 25k.

    Safe travels 58.

    You trip will be worth because I believe we'll win. It may not be pretty with our depleted forward line but we'll have enough to see off Freo.

    Similar Ben.

    Itā€™s been way too long.

    A few beers pre-game, saunter down to the G in time for ball-up and hopefully a Dees win.

    Life is good.

    Make sure to set 2 alarm clocks in case the first one doesn't go off!

    Pert reckons about 27k. A disappointing turnout in my view given the year we've just had. Where are all the Dees supporters?

    A lot would be thinking why go just to get another knee in the groin.But I do think on such a beautiful day 30k is more like it

    It's no wonder the club was sending emails. Pert predicting 27k is disappointing.

    Happy game day everyone. 

    Go dees!

    Like others, Iā€™m a bit nervous. Iā€™m still concerned about our lack of run, spread and class, as I have been for years now. We should still be good enough, but it will need to be a performance more like the Richmond game than the Doggies game.

    Sadly I couldnā€™t get down from NSW fr this week.  Im def on edge today. This season could be anything , a genuine crack at the top 4-6 or a collapse and a coach sacking. Today will tell us a lot.... im in the former camp. Letā€™s go dees!

    was sure be predicted 40k the other week? 

    You know my favorite thing about round one? The montage, nothing better than a good footy montage. I wish I had montage guy's voice I'd voice over my whole life.

    Iā€™m really sorry guys, I drank out of my Pink Floyd mug rather than Demons mug this morning. Iā€™ve let Simon Goodwin know that I have made learnings and worked really hard on developing my brand. Hopefully will put out a 4 quarter effort next week.

    Family footy time is back, looking forward to walking into the G with the kids again.

    All summer weā€™ve heard how the boys canā€™t wait to play in front of us again, weā€™ll do our part by turning up, giving them a loud cheer when they run out and hopefully they return the favour with a win. 

    Enjoy the day all, Go Dees!

    Livid I canā€™t get there today as Iā€™m stuck working hotel quarantine.

    Hope those that make it along to the game enjoy a great day. Praying for a solid win first up. Go Dees.

    Have some mixed feelings. Iā€™m really looking forward to the footy but, in order to get there, Iā€™ve had to disclose to the maid that lockdown is over. Arrh well.. all good things!

    Itā€™s always good to watch a kid debut and at the other end of the scale, I hope Jones has a decent game.

    My highlight will be Fritsch kicking 5 big ones!

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by ā€œtheyā€ the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.Itā€™s no secret that the Demonsā€™ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryanā€™s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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

      Itā€™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?
