    I'll be interested in the analysis of the game by those who know - how will Clarkson approach this. Of course, he's not got the cattle he used to, and therefore his approach will be different. How will a team down the bottom of the ladder (but brilliantly coached) approach the task?

     

    I’m not really worried, just mindful that we have been off against lower ranked teams. I really want the player to bring a huge amount of pressure early to overwhelm them and get early scores on the board. 

    I’m also excited, I arrived from the UK yesterday and am watching the game from quarantine. Great to watch a game at a normal time, and great to be home.

    AVB is the right man at the right time to step things up a notch for us with his hard as nails defensive intent and attacking attitude.

    Tear the Hawks a new one Vanders. 

    Vanders reminds me of your namesake.

    Rain easing, a few light showers during the evening. It's rained a bit during the last few hours so condition of the ground will depend on how fast it soaks it up. It'll be slippery nonetheless.

    Also can confirm cold as balls

    Sent the husband out to BBQ the steaks. Shiraz has been downed. We are ready.

    Big day. The boy's U-11 side played in the most atrocious conditions this morning...suffered a gallant loss at the hands of the evil Marist College. Since Marist were top and the Dees are top (I don't count Geelong) then that's the omen for a Demon win.

    Also, been at the pub all afternoon trying to warm up.

    Go Dees!

    When do we start booing Frosty again?

    Personally I'm not one for booing Frosty.

    Always respected that he had a fair dinkum crack at it, when he played for us.

    I hardly think he went chasing the big bucks, just a guy trying to give himself a reasonable chance of consistently playing at the top level, when he could see the writing on the wall with the stocks of defensive thoroughbreds we now have with May, Lever and Co.

    Agreed - in all serious, besides ‘he who shall not be named (who has now retired anyways)’ is there anybody we actively boo?

    I can’t think of anybody

    My lucky socks are on. I do need to note that they are Oliver socks I got as a present and while they’ve served me well, Oliver has not kicked a goal in any game I’ve worn them. So it is 100% my fault.

    • 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?
