Premier Marshmallow eased the rules for travelling Victorians today meaning we can actually head over to Adelaide without isolating or getting tested, and attending the ground.

    I wouldn’t leave Vic for fear of not being able to return. With covid things can change in a heartbeat.

    The tickets are handled by Ticketek, I see they have released tickets for the MCG this weekend. I gather the delay is due to the exact capacity of Adelaide Oval, 50%,100%.

    Need to act quickly Look up Adelaide papers Power website and the Ticketek or Ticketmaster whichever it may be. 
    our membership Dept ring as well.

    BTW our membership is up to 51, 924 and have about 500 to go to break our all time record. Wins vs Port Hawks and Suns should be a Monty to get there. !

    You sure know how to kill any positivity OD. You are back to your Old Dee approach with no Hope and only fear. 
    Maybe have a rest criticising and being negative and look for the positives.

    Oh sorry you never make positive comments you always refer to the past and don't give any credit even when we play well.

    Don't even go letting Covid  ( like 15,000 other Demons fans ) determine their decision making. 

    Leopards don't change their spots.

    Time us running out for  us oldies who can choose to sit and watch the world go by or join in and embrace what we are still able to do. 

    Even Dan is in the recovery plan bandwagon team ( leading it in fact) and plenty of vaccine has been available to us all since its release earlier this year.

    It’s time for changes at player level. The team over the last month looks tired. Tired players make a greater level of mistakes e.g. goal kicking. Add to this a five daybreak.  Team needs four changes at minimum to freshen the team, but they probably won’t so I struggle to see us beating  Port. Do you have any thoughts besides bagging me?

    Yes OD but at least your post is a credible point. 
    I have posted on other topics we need to be more positive in our approach take the game on more and give BBB a go at FG and perhaps get Lockhart in defence to get some running going.

    All our mids and defenders are to take the game on when we get the ball like vs Lions in second half.. 

    Msybe a couple of players are tired but I think  most of that is in the mind.

    Our best is easily good enough to best Port if we bring it.

    Our best has been missing for a month. Time for some player changes.

    • 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.

      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?
