    Bumping for tonight. Isn’t it nice being able to enjoy the whole weekend of footy basking in a Thursday night victory. 

    It is good. Prime time week after week too. Trouble is, by Sunday it seems so long ago I'm busting for more Demons footy.

    People have laughed at us for years, came across this and found it amusing. Would love the Crows to beat Essendon  just to see the next instalment.

     

    The guy who puts those together does one every week. They're very funny. I don't want to see one when they win though.

    Big test for the puddies tonight. Reckon Brisbane will run them off their feet and, unlike Collingwood, will be able to sustain it for the 4 quarters. Would love to see the Suns do the Blues in. Reckon that would cause a rupture in the narrative-scape that might just see AFL media eat its own tail.

    So who are we all going for tonight? Hate the cats, but surely we prefer them to win and give the Lions what will surely be a rare loss this year?

     

    EDIT: Esava Ratugolea is out tonight, which will surely be a plus for the Cats 👹.
    Tom Stewart is out too though, so it's not all good news in the old folks home.

    Could be a half way decent game tonight!

    I have a modest investment on the Bears.

    [censored] I hate Geelong and their [censored] of a coach.

    We all do [hate Jee-long]. But no Duckwood & Rohan tonight to hate.

    Am I right in thinking this is the first game of footy played at Geelong since the greatest 4th quarter in the history of the game?

    With the city end of the Litter Tray out of commission I wonder if they're allowing away fans into the place and if so where they're housing them?

    Don’t care about top spot in April, I would get much greater joy seeing the Lions win easily tonight.

    I don't care about top spot in April either. I do care about top spot in October, and you don't get that if other top sides don't drop games in April.

    It’s a disgrace the amount of funding that’s gone into building a stadium that is only used by one team in one sport for 8 games a year.

    I wonder if the 20th license should go down the road? Regional Victoria could most definitely sustain another team if they also played 3-4 games in Ballarat. The pandemic has driven massive growth outside of the city.

    Not a bad game of footy after the first 5 minutes. Both teams very clean. 

    Interesting that McStay and Daniher are both running to the same spot time after time, but it is McStay who presents so well when they do. 

    I love seeing a tagger v star battle, but can't believe Neale is being blocked from so many contests.

    Seems a bit harsh - A-League and T20 World Cup matches have/will be played there this year as well at least.

    Both sides have missed a couple of gettable ones. It's not just the Dees who do it.

    Yes and at great expense to the management have hired the Village People to retrieve the errant footy.

    • 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.
