Lucifer - sadly I think your prediction is spot on. They won’t let GW$ play without a ruckman …… now if it was someone in different color, say red and blue, or red, white and black, maybe blue and white vertical stripes then it would be “we must stamp this out and the head is sacrosanct this week - 4 to 6 weeks.”

Nah … not even NATO could turn a blind eye to that one . Has to get weeks.

    HUDDO (referring to a last-second goal by the bombers): "That was just what the Essendon doctor ordered." 

    That phrase means something different to most of us than it seems to mean to Huddo.

    It caused a chuckle at ours.

    It’s surprisingly entertaining watching two teams constantly mess up things our players can do in their sleep these days.

    Can I dare to dream that the Bummers could lose to the Crows at home?

    Essendon ruckman looks a bit like one of the Droogs in Clockwork Orange

    That last kick inside 50, they had three to kick to and choose the bomber player.

    Starting to think St Kilda are a chance to feature in prelim final week.

    Both clubs had a brief taste in 2018 and 2020 and then had down years.

    Why not them?

    A goal fest at Marvel in the first half.

    Love it @Lucifers Hero

    Not a pot at you at all...and isn't there a massive shift in the supporters understanding and THUS the language used by us, because we now have a lens of what 'works' to win football matches consistently. It's also not just our - defense (back 6) running parallel to the strength of our 'defence' is still the system - which I still count as a a Goodwin version of gengenpressing.

    They have a couple of good ruckmen and a decent midfield. King and Membery are good forwards backed up by the smaller likes of Greisham. I think that are definite finalists.

    Come on Gold Coast

    Yes I only just realised I don’t watch non-Melbourne games to see who wins, but rather to barrack for a side to lose. Huge shame that the Bombers got up, the Hawthorn match is looking promising and hopefully the wheels can fall off the Carlton bandwagon. I’m not a nice person.

    • 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.
