    Serious question DF what is your motivation for going to Adelaide? Would you go to a normal MFC game in Adelaide? Will you go to any other game that weekend? I have genuine interest in Why.

    A couple of  points of motivation, apart from watching the Dees in win #5 for the 2023 season OD:

    -  free accommodation in a mates apartment, within walking distance of Adelaide Oval,

    -  Mrs DoF and I enjoy visiting the SA wine regions and beaches.  We’ll drive from Canberra, and make a bit of a holiday of it.

    The Dees game is followed by another game (Port and somebody) so we will probably stay on for that.

    Yes, we went to watch the Dees [censored] Adelaide at AO last season.

    OD this is the same question I've been putting to my friends who have jumped on it, I'm trying to find out as well.

    "The many fan ideas for the round included United Round, AFL Roadshow, Footy Fiesta, The Big Show, Family Round, Connection Round, Roving Round, Premiers Round, The Grape Escape, Hanger Round, Round Five!, AFL Mega, Celebration Round, All-in Round, Magnetic Round, Destination Round, Fanatics Round and Festival of Footy".

    How they picked 'Gather'.with those suggetions...

    Someone has a sense of humour suggesting to call it:  Round 5!

    The name (and the idea for that matter) is terrible but so are most of the other names dreamt up in that brainstorm session.

    At the risk of cultural appropriation (but hey the AFL already does that anyway) Corroboree Round has a nice ring to it with all the clubs converging on one place like the traditional indigenous corroborees.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
