This should be a ripper. Our boys fire up against the cats. I would imagine the cats have set themselves for a big game too.

Predicting Viney to have a huge game.

    We usually save our best for other contenders.  Here's hoping that continues tonight.

    BBB and Fritsch to combine for 8 goals. 

    Oliver BOG with 35 and a goal. 


    Ben Brown needs to play a big one and clunk a few.

    Harry Petty has a big job on Cameron as well.

    Dees by 17 points.

    Defeated them 3 times last year. We have their measure 

    Stengle has been a great pick-up though. We'll have to keep an eye on him 

    Beating them again in taxpayer park will be most satisfying

    A good old-fashioned thumping of the cats tonight might go some way to making you feel better, SPC!

    Forgot to give motherly advice

    Win this and the three-game losing streak is forgotten.

    They say being nervous and excited are the same emotion.

    I'm excited!

    I don't believe my actions can have any bearing on how the dees perform.

    Which is why I'm not worried posting this picture will in anyway jinx our chances tonight.

    Not worried at all. Not even a bit.

    Seemed the appropriate day to post it. It takes pride of place in my tv room and is the first thing I see when I walk in (we converted the garage into a sound proof TV room with huge TV etc etc - perfect because I can watch footy and not annoy the family or neighbours!).

    Thanks @Webber for the brilliant, beautiful art work. It looks amazing 

    And thanks @joeboy for the stunning framing.

    Love it

    The weather should really even the contest up.

    Hope Viney plays like last week and Clarry gets 45 & 2 around the carnage

    Coming off a tough contest against adelaide compared to geelong's training run against north will give us the edge. 

    We love using the wings but will need to straighten up on a narrow ground fit for junior football only. Win at the centre and win the game. Brown to snag 5.

    The felines might come out of the blocks quicker than us, but we will wrest the ascendency by half time, and play the game on our terms after the break.  Another one of those games where, despite a close(ish) score line for much of the game, we will not be seriously challenged. Dees by around 5 goals.

    • 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.
