    I'm confident we will win this game.

    Not as confident as i was last week, or for the round 23 game. But confident nonetheless.

    If we win, I'm confident we will beat the cats too.

    That said, i feel sick in the guts at the thought of the season ending tonight (and i worry the players might too - which is one reason I'm not as confident about tonight as i was for the round 23 game)

    Well that has lifted me from despondent to hopeful LH. You are usually a good judge.

    i can see 2, maybe 3 gingers in that pic, wcw. so, which one is the famous wcw?

    We're not done yet..? Subliminally acknowledging there's been problems?

    It would read differently next week  if they were straight into the Prelim .

    Strange...and they haven't mentioned the Queen!

    “We’re not done yet” is open to interpretation.  Either we are not dead yet (which is not very positive) or we will do more (which is positive)     Let’s hope the players read it the latter way.

    I haven't been confident of a win in half a season if I'm being honest.

    We are not running out games or dominating anywhere near as much as we were last year. 

    Brisbane's poor record at the MCG, in finals  and against us is the only thing that makes me feel hopeful.

    Brisbane winning last week and finally getting over their elimination final hoodoo helps us. The pressure is all on us tonight. 

    We won't want to go out in straight sets and without Daniher the pressure is even greater on us to win and win well. Hopefully the boys woke up today and realised this is it. Time to pull the finger out because this season is done otherwise, and all the hard work has been for nothing.

    As I said in a few other threads, a win is just simply expected tonight. I can’t remember the last time a finalist was >$4 to win a final. Even we were close to $2 against West Coast in the PF in 2018!

    A loss will be a complete disaster for this footy club after starting 10-0 and finishing 2nd.

    Just get it done and we’ll be back where we rightly belong - playing in a PF.

    Joe the goose is out… nit sure that is a positive or a negative for us….

    Wish I was confident, but a bit of trepidation creeping in.

    Definitely. We would always do a show to both sides if we could. But even if it’s not raining or not too windy, if the grass is wet a show is not likely, which sucks because the pic side of it and/or the non-advertisement side is always facing the race. Therefore not everyone gets to appreciate how amazing it is.

    Hard to be confident when we’ve only won 6 out of our last 13 matches…

    We should win tonight. It’s an outright disaster if we don’t. 10-0 to straight sets out of finals with repeat home finals would be trash, Brisbane level trash ironically. Just get it done boys.

    Which is why I distinguished it from a sudden death chance after a loss or an opportunity to go into the Grand Final following  a win and a week off.

    Mind you I doubt they bother to read it

    I would really like it to NOT be close. A win with minimal effort would be much better. 

    Agreed. I'd like to see us so far in front that we play the last quarter with 6-2-4 rather than 6-6-6 with 10 on the bench.

    Very, VERY confident that we do this in a canter. Bring the pressure and cubs will fold.

    I'm glad Joe Daniher's absence is due to his partner going into labour. I had terrible thought it might be Neale getting worse. Hope he's doing well and comes along tonight to cheer the boys.

    • 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.
