Just getting paranoid about Brisbane getting a ton of percentage over us, even if it’s early days.

If we win more games percentage doesn’t matter

    Wonder if premiership player Ben Brown is having any regrets about leaving?

    Flew way out west for a friend's birthday celebrations this weekend. Said friend has got us tickets to The Derby today. Finally getting to experience Boo Stadium first-hand (and six months too late).

    Dees Premiership polo ready to wear.

    With him in the team, they could have gone down by only 15 goals for a face saving gallant defeat.

    4 points > percentage

    I actually think about a number of clubs ... my anger and dislike of them occupies large amounts of my thinking time. Is that normal? Especially the filth ... and the following (in no particular order) -  Jee-long, Richmond, Essendon (although less these days cos they're pretty hopeless), Footscray. 

    I hear you, Bingers. I’ve let Essendon live rent-free in my head for decades. Recently a friend asked me who I think I might barrack for if Melbourne ever ceased to exist *shudder* He was shocked when I said probs Essendon 🤮 (Soz reflex action). My logic being: The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. Therefore, I think I’d have an easier time converting my intense and undying hate for Essendon into love of a similar degree. The path from indifference to love would be so much longer.
    Hmmmm, maybe I need to see a therapist. 

    Lol- even text predictor knows how much I hate that loathsome pack of ferals…

    I'm about to head to the G for the Bluebaggers/Poos & Wees match.

    It's an interesting experience going to a match as a neutral. I suspect the highlight will be the afternoon tea. I know there will be sandwiches, party pies & liquified dust (which is supposed to be coffee). Not sure whether there will be scones ... hope so. I'm joining my MUCH OLDER friend in the 50 year section of the members.  (I don't qualify personally as I am much, much younger than him.)

    Likewise SWYL.

    Cats at GMHBA this week will be their first test.

    They look good but the GF will be at the G in September.

    Enjoy the day out. Safe in the knowledge there'll be 1 less unbeaten team at the end of the match.

    Your problem will be who to support to make it happen.  or who do you hate least - Blues or hawks.

    Really tough decision from where I stand but will be wathcing the game on the tele with that angle in mind.

    Today, I hate the Hawks more.

    Should be a fun, high scoring match. Carltons defence is looking shaky but they have plenty of fire power

  • Quote

    I hope Hawks win today because Hawks aren’t actually good enough to do any real damage and if they win it proves that Carlton probably aren’t either. 
    I am a deeply mean spirited footy fan

    Essendon were absolutely horrible especially the first half. Dragged us down to their level .

    Our execution was sloppy but our structure was impeccable. I was never really worried even when they hit the front. We just suffocated them and they had no answers at all.

    Strangle, suffocate then score. The Demon way.

    McKay and Curnow are the best KPF double act in the league by a long way

    Clearances and conversion are where Carlton would destroy us.

    Are you saying they're going to win the flag?

    Are the Blues as good to watch live as they are on TV right now? Coz they’re looking  great from where I am.

    How good do you reckon Port are feeling?

    Lost to the hawks by 10 goals at home!

    At this rate Hawthorn could drop from 173% to 73%.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      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?
