Would have preferred Port myself. Dogs' on-ball/midfield bats very deep.

    We need big games from T.Mac they don't have a second key defender and Spargo has to stop Daniel cutting us to shreads like he has in the past.

    What a Grand Final it's going to be one for the ages I think if we play somewhere near our best we will win.

    Not sure how I'm going to go on with my life for the next two weeks. I'll be thinking/hoping/praying/worrying about this game on repeat the entire time.

    We're better than Port, but the Dogs are better than Brisbane and Geelong.

    We've been the two best sides all year. It's a fitting final match up.

    The Dogs will embrace the backs against the wall position - five states in two weeks, bottom half of the 8, quarantine, no training on the oval, etc. The week off will help them more than it will help us.

    But our best is good enough.

    This one will be close but if we can halve the clearance battle we'll win

    Our forwards and backline is far greater. 
     

    Slightly concerned for our mids though 

    Our midfield is better that theirs

    Bevo will definitely play this game, but we just need to keep focused and stick to our task.

    We are nice and settled in Perth, dogs still have to get there and quarantine, Bailey smith needs to be tagged and if we break even in the middle will go a long way to winning

    They won’t need to quarantine

    Anyone else notice/think they celebrated their win in their rooms a little more than us?

    Dees by 25-35 points!

    Apparently they will as the clock has been reset when they went to Brisbane

    • 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?
