Lever out (if happens) evens up the odds imv. Big out. As long as he and maysie marshalling the defence I was confident. Now I’m not so sure.

go dees

 

Welcome to the G as defending champions! Can't wait to see you all. Can't wait for that flag unfurl! Should be huge

    Tomlinson was having a kick on the ground before. 

    He’s warming out. Can’t see Lever

    Bedford also warming up. Could be the medical sub.

    In the ground, whoever said 10000 dogs supporters and the rest Melbourne might not be far off the mark.

    Yep just came out with Lingers & Gus. 

    Only about half the squad out at the moment

    What's the injury cloud?  Are we going to risk him for round 1?

     

    Just spotted a doggies guernsey. Very few about

    Wouldn't it be great if instead of Hells Bells before the song as the boys come out, they swapped it with Freed from Desire.

    Get in their faces.

    Sorry if it’s been pointed out already but it’s been Enter Sandman for 2 years now! 
     

    Gets me absolutely pumped and wish they’d play the whole tune instead of Grand old flag after the run thru the banner! Leave that for after the game!

    Not sure if I have missed it in 2021 - I am loving having the indigenous names of the locations of where the grounds are in the AFL Round by Round guide. Bout time.

    Still prefer Hells Bells.

    Prediction: Sparrow to show signs of becoming our 4th horseman to join Petracca, Oliver and Viney.

    Lever confirmed out 

    Hella bells

    How good is it seeing people walking around wearing premiership tops, hats & scarves with our logo plastered across it. 


    Did they say why Lever is out? 

    Fireworks is also out. Big losses all around.

    Lever out is big. Reckon it’ll be a super close game and not confident. Dogs will be all fired up after the humiliation of the GF. Here’s hoping our boys aren’t lacking motivation!

     

    Remember the few times many many years ago when Schwab I'm sure it was came up with the idea to raise the flag after very few of our wins & it was just dumb.

    How good is it to see a real flag unveiled. One that says premiers

    • 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?
