It’s amazing how often one really good team wins one game and next time it’s the other’s turn 

if we win tomorrow it doesn’t auger well for the Grand Final

You think wed play Doggies in the big dance? If we got there i would be more inclined to think it would be Geelong.

A cold crowdless day at the G scares me a bit. Seems we play better with a crowd, even a hostile one. I think well win but it might be pretty close.

Yes, the game outcome is very likely, PF, to be determined by the umpires, their tendencies for 'entertaining footy' and catchups (particularly if the Dees are ahead or look like going further ahead), the selectively unobserved Doggies bending of the rules such as throws, chops, hitting key Melbourne players from behind - preferably in the head and neck - knee drops, arm chops at all costs and an assortment of further incursions as these opportunities may occur.

Overcoming the 5-goal advantage across a game from the umpires, the Dees still should still prevail although the margin will be small and hard-fought. 

Holding one's breath for this game; several things are just bound to amplify annoyance and disbelief.

Carna Dees!

Dees are 1.84 on sportsbet. Dogs 2.00.

I'm not a gambler so how on earth can this be explained? 

Agree with you D17. I'm thinking Deez $1.12, Barkers $3:80. We beat them decisively five minutes ago and they completely shayt themselves when we bought the heat at the 18 minute mark of the third term. Deez easily waltzing away with it. (Plus Matthew Lloyd needs a new premiership favourite to announce every Monday.)

Tell me he’s not umpiring our game and your just pulling my leg? I don’t think I can handle another umpire ravaged game.

Umpires # 1, 26 & 22

I guess we whipped them last time.

I predict white knuckles....vows broken....a trip to the bottle o at half time, a nervous dog, concerned neighbours and a happy camper after a roller coaster ride.

Nothing new.

    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.

    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.
