Now it's saying Chandler is our medical sub

Prefer Jones , he has the experience and had asked he can adjust to the pace instantly, also more versatile in terms of the position he can play

    Its funny Ch 7 saying ...."Petracca, is there a better player in the competition"? So much hype...

    I feel like hes still got a heap of improvement to come and hes really just starting to hit his straps now....

    Absolutely pathetic crowd again this week. We will be outnumbered by Swans fans at our own home game. Incredible 

    You would hope not. Christ what more can you ask for this team. I wonder if people thinks it's to hard to come to the footy now with booking tickets & people are still wary about venturing out.

    Light drizzle here at the moment but it may not effect the game as I am in Northern Europe and it is 11am. 
     

    hey, everyone else was giving weather reports.

    Chandler in as the sub

    Like the cut of the jib of this young fella. Will get his opportunity in due course.

    Time to settle accounts Demons... call in the taxidermist.

    I think it's this, people get their normal reserved seat against the Blues next week I think it will help crowd numbers


    I'm in the MCC & got stuck beside 4 swans fans. Just my luck. 

    But yeah even the members should be out here in force

    There’s a fair amount still streaming in, they were just having a dart and enjoying some hot jam donuts.

    Alright, here, in my seat. For what will be the last time with this stupid ticketing system. Even with a low crowd they make heavy weather of it.

    Go Dees.

    Tough to get a vb in these parts. However I think a glass or two of a good red might go down well.

    You have to give preference to the young blokes, so I’m pleased to see Chandler as sub.

    No win since 2010 @ the G must surely go tonight.


    Kozzie show coming up...

    What's with the socks?

    Good pick up. They are disgusting. 
     

    Should've forced them to wear white. And white shorts. The filth would’ve

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
