My amatuer analysis concurs with your rain radar read

Feel like a late change might be on the cards.

B. Brown for ?

Absolutely sensational!!! It was a great result.  Watts ran so hard from half back to create the opportunity.  
And love the reaction. And Jeremy 💩Howe’s disappointing face 

Yes I always thought Jeremy Howe had a disappointing face. However in this instance he also looked disappointed 🙂

    It's a cliche but this is another huge game that we simply must win.  By whacking the filth  pretenders tonight we will tie up a top two finish and keep our flag defence at the G.

    I'll be driving The Manor's dog ute in tonight and meeting some Demonlanders for an early start on the booze. This will likely mean I'll need post match accommodation. ( Demonland sheilas feel free to offer)

    I reckon we'll win - let's get that straight, but expect the filth to come at us hard. Our defence will be key but expect super games from Clarrie and Max.

    BBB to kick 3!!

    The Manor's dog has  a ute? Clever woofer! 😆

    hope it's like that game in the rain against ninthmond early last year where we made a big statement

    Chook my image of you, rigid, bleached and washed up. Some may say like driftwood! 😄

    If Cox can't take a mark I'm not sure what else he provides?

    The two games he's destroyed us, it's been a dry track.

    No. That would have been The Manor's dog's ute. Different ute entirely.

    Of course. The Manor has an entire stable of utes ... 😆

    I feel the wet track will favour us more than them as it takes their fast/helter skelter offensive transition away from them a bit.

    I also feel that this post probably won't age well.

    Pretty much on the money. Apart from some half hitouts at stoppages maybe. 

    Absolutely woeful weather. Goddamn Victoria. It was glorious yesterday.

    I'm usually pretty calm before a game & don't really get nervous but I will be tonight. We just have to beat them. I could not fathom losing to them again.

    But last time we played them we had no gawn or may. 

    We have to win and win well

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
