Trac’s out there warming up.

    I have no idea why anyone still has MFCSS. It died for me after the Richmond game last year.

    Sydney game for me. Hardest fought win I think I've ever seen from Melbourne. Since then even with our loses I've not worried.

    I reckon Tracc will be a late withdrawal Dunstan in

    Trac looks ok. No bandage on either knee. May warming up also

    Would have preferred Dunstan as medi Sub

    I’m confused is Trac playing or not ?

    No late changes, so he's playing.

    Don't reckon the lack of tape is evidence he's 100% though. It miraculously disappeared the week after everyone started asking about it. Definitely been playing sore lately.

    I don't even feel nervous before games anymore. 

    Gee what a shock Bedford sub

    Wonder what the crowd will be

    Oi, I thought you were meant to stay on the fence

    As the Good Friday Appeal is in the rear view mirror, perhaps this type of motivation could have been deployed to put the lingering MFCSS on here to rest?

    and it’s such a comfort to know that the umpires will adjudicate with impartiality and  consistency 

     

     

    Is that a new style of umpiring the AFL is trialling this round ????

    Wonderful !!

    Looks a terrible crowd on the TV

    Most of Melbourne are in bright


    Remember I use to write in these threads that I thought we might be a chance of winning today.  Seems surreal, that now the expectation is winning and it's more a case of when that first upset loss might come against us.  Not totally confident that we're in smashing form right now, but not sure I see this as a big danger game either.

    I’m still getting used to making my way to the footy from my new place and I reckon I’ll miss most of the first quarter. 

    So if we’re up by a mile when I get there you can thank me

    • 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.
