Well, folks, it's nearly game time. Best wishes to all. Suicide is not an option, whatever the outcome. The key to Demon success tonight is: mongrel, attitude, opportunity, heartlessness, execution skills, 2-way running and outside support. Carna Dees.

 

And kicking for goal at a normal level of accuracy

    Now convinced you aren’t a Melbourne supporter.

    Save yourself some grief. Block is a good option.

     

    It’s not about Brown, it’s about how the forward line in it’s entirety work together. I don’t care if he kicks none as long as he looks damaging and creates options.

    I can't wait for the Ben Brown 5 possessions game only to have people roll out the 'he brought the ball to ground' bullish!t. which is code for doing nothing but drop marks.

    I cant wait for you to be wrong.

    Dees go bang tonight.

    port have targeted Max last times we played look for a massive response from all.

    Very confident

     

    Well, that day took forever.

    I'm mildly freaking out.  Good times. 

    Final thought before the game; in the three games Ben Brown played earlier this season, both Fritsch and McDonald kicked more than a goal-a-game better than in games without Ben Brown.

    I just remembered how much I hate Port supporters.

    I say this a lot but I think I really mean it tonight.

    I have never wanted to win a game as much as this.

    And I hope that maggot from tge Crows game isnt around.

    And please let us win the first qrt.


    I still feel sick. 
    Sick, but confident ❤️?

    GO GET ‘EM DEES !!!

    Little bit nervous but I think we have a much stronger team on paper.

    No excuses, want a start similar to that against the Dogs.

    Get ready for a 1st QTR blitz (in our favour)!

    I'm v̶e̶r̶y̶ m̶o̶s̶t̶l̶y̶ kind of confident.

    (I was a little worried about this game and probably still am but we have to have faith in these new Dees. There will be bumps along the way, but geez we've come a long way already). We're getting there, and tonight we'll expose another pretender.

    Go Dees!


    I am still not sold on Thursday night footy but apparently my better half likes the idea of Melbourne playing on Thursday nights because if we lose she won’t have to put up with me for the better part of a day. 
     

    I hope we bring pressure, pressure and more pressure and kick straight. 

    This pre game is so [censored] lame. I’ll never be convinced otherwise.

    Umps have started 


    Not sure what the latest health advice but to those dees fans in the crowd remember. Don't touch the football

     

    Already with the dodgy frees

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” 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.It’s no secret that the Demons’ 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 Bryan’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

      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?
