All the more reason why we need to fill the G and be very loud from the very start. We need to take advantage of every advantage we have.

Agreed. Need to make the G sound like the 2018 finals series again and let Sydney feel the raucous and intimidation that we copped in the Perth 2018 prelim.

We most certainly won't get this luxury if/when we play Collingwood in a prelim or a GF.

The last quarter of the round 12 game V's Sydney felt like a Dees away game, particularly in the AFL members. Even when we got on top at stages throughout the night, I thought our crowd was a bit lackluster.

    Yep, that night was a joke. I cracked it at so many friends that night that favoured Kayo. 

    Everyone just get on board,

    Anyone think the same as what I do in regard to Marcus Adams. I think that he was concussed alright but it wasn't that incident.It was actually the incident from the week before against Cats I think and he was cleared to play.Pretty poor if that is what happened in my book..

    Sounds like Sydney are backing in their 10-2-1 record against us at the MCG since 2002 and then get their prelim at home.

    Last three years:

    2022: Swans won by 12
    2021: Demons won by 9
    2020: Didn't play them at the MCG (Swans won 67-46 at the SCG)

    The swans will be a very hard match. I would rather we were playing the other 2 top 4s.

    How so dl4e? Hibba takes Papley, Heeney and Florent. The rest you raffle.

    And as a reward for finishing first, Geelong get to play away to the fourth placed Collingwood.

    FMD

    Um . . . sorry mrtwister. Just checking. You mean the club that plays poor drawing, weak sides, eight times a year on a pocket handkerchief shaped like a triangle, effectively gifting them 32 premiership points, is being hard done by? The current draw is virtually a handicapper event with Jeelong deemed to be on one leg with a blindfold on.

    Poor bloke. The one thing you want is to have a crack but to be continually let down by your body is just unfair. The end is near I suspect.

    Freo’s last 6

    Lost to swans by 17 at home.
    Draw against the tigers at G.
    Bent Over by Melbourne at home.
    Beat the dogs by 17 at Marvel.
    Beat the Eagles big deal.
    Struggled to beat the Giants who didn’t want to win.

    By comparison the Dogs last 6 wasn’t much better, however they did beat us and they have a good recent finals record. This is an each way game for me.

    Dwights tips for this weekend 

    RD 1 

    Tigers by 22 - Better side in better form, Brisbane will be shaken by what happened vs the Dees 

    Dees by 34 - we're a different team than they played last time, will rise for Finals and jump them and carry the lead 

    Pies by 14 - Cats are going to get jumped, mental scars will show and the Pies will win a close one 

    Dogs by 2 - Love the dockers contested style, but i am much more confident in the Dogs ability to kick a winning score than the dockers, even in Perth

    Lions and Dockers for me.

    What I would like to see is Geelong get jumped in the first quarter again in a final. I heard today they are 1W 7L in Qualifying finals.

    I don't.

    The lions are a good team, who ran into a Demon juggernaut. 

    At home they will be too strong for the tigers.

    For punters, the 2.18 for the lions to win is brilliant value.

    They should be fired up after the suggestion they were faux tough guys however with Rayner and Adams out and Dusty back as well as Zorko being Zorko I think the Tigers will have their measure. Would love to see Brisbane boot them out though.

    Was gonna say if they were playing the Dogs this would have been a real doozie.

    Fagan is under incredible pressure to keep his role i'd say. if the Lions bomb week 1 i wouldn't be surprised if they make a change. 

    Selwood meets Viney, I am so looking forward to us playing Geelong. There is a reason why the cats have them as a sponsor, they need a large supply of tidy whiteys before a Demons game.

    • 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?
