Same crowd at dogs v hawks last night as Melb vs syd. A lot less than Melb vs bris. Pathetic. Looking forward to Caro's bake.

    Tonight I am at Rod Laver to see Disney on ice with my GD,s.  And this reminds me of how stupid outdoor night sporting events in Winter melb. are. No harder to get here than the footy and it is pleasant inside and not an umpire in sight.

    I took my daughter to see Disney on Ice when she was little, but it was disappointing.

    Turned out to be just an old bloke in a cryogenic chamber.

    Notice any scratch marks of him trying to get out?

    Bump.

    Ok, so I know this isn’t a finals game, is on TV, and involves movement of your decaying and decrepit bodies BUT…

    It would be great if you got out there to the G this Friday…

    The Upside Down! I know it well.

    If you see 13 year olds that look like 22 year olds - don’t even think about it, just kill ‘em! They trouble.

    These are the games we live for as supporters. 2nd v 3rd. Prime time home game. Against an arch enemy.

    Let's pack the G in red and blue. If you don't you'll be sorry you missed it I guarantee.

    Either way the "G" Will be absolutely packed, hopefully many of us.

    We've had another week with lower volume training and should be running fitter and better than even the Freo game, oh how sweet it would be to roll them by 40-50 points and show them who's boss in front of the footy world.

    For so many years we could we only dream of playing in big games, let alone winning them. Now we've got half a dozen in a row. These are the days.

    I think there is a very strong chance of this happening. My sense is that the Pies are really struggling with fitness as they are a young side and will naturally be fatiguing at this time of year. 

    Will be a intense Q1 but cant see this one going down to the wire.

    You're right . I'm sorry already I'm going to miss it. I did make it to Perth. So have to be thankful for minor mercies. But nothing will be better than watching those feral animals being put to the sword. Hope they are ahead for the first 6 minutes so they think they're going to win and then we put the pedal to the metal and obliterate them. Not that anyone needs to worry about denting their percentage which is the lowest top 3 percentage anyone can remember.

    • 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.
