In the MCC reserve. More Bar Staff than people. Pity a few of them aren’t cooking schnitzels or preparing Cheese Boards! 

 

We might crack 30K

where are all our members??

Will it shock anyone if I say that I think we've been in only 'adequate' form so far this season? It feels more like the last few games of our big run of wins last year, rather than either of our dominant peaks. To be sure, it is a whole thrill of its own to be winning solidly when off our best, but I'm slightly impatient to see us really turn it on at least once. Just for recreational reasons I'd like to see 120mins of football at the level of the last 40mins of 2021!

I'm not sure GWS are even worthy of being thrashed so historically, so I guess I'll keep my focus on maintaining the defensive rigor up to standard.

Wins are wins and Bowey still needs 17 more to break the record run.

Away probably. School holidays & it's Easter. I'd be happy to see 20k.

Even Robbo has taken the night off

Looks a terrible crowd on the TV

Lots of empty seats around me on level 1 next to AFL members.

 

Dees by 36

Go Dees

Go The Maid.

Crowds looking a bit better. Members down the bottom has a decent crowd & next door & around behind the goals has a good capacity on the other side not so much.

Saints got 18k, would hate to be less Than that. Haven’t seen the members this empty in a long time, must all be in Mornington.

Watching from just north of Lismore with a very good value red in hand (ooops, de rigeur). A win, with Paris Roubaix tomorrow then first family holiday in 3 years on the Sunny Coast from tues so a win a good start  plees Dees

  • 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.
