You're thinking Lincoln McCarthy with that one.

But yes, hoping there's some fire in the guts from last year's finals.

    I hope we just play them off the park. Couldn't really give a stuff about drama from last year.

    Anyone know if the boys are having a light run at Gosch’s tomorrow prior to flying up to Brisbane?

    Oh you’re right. They’re both chumps so they’re easily confused. 🤣

    Actually, I just remembered how Jarrod Berry was involved to an extent in this whole deplorable thing. Not worth talking about.

    Would be surprised if May plays so soon, Salem will need a game in the VFL to get some touch. I have from time to time overactive Thyroid, takes quite a few weeks to normalise and running even 500m can cause exhaustion with elevated heart rate.

    Hope he has either done radioactive iodine, or cut it out, as a long term fix.

    I'm fine with this.

    There is honestly no rush in getting these guys back. Take all the time they need so that it sets them up well for the year.

    Just arrived in Brisbane. 
     

    80% humidity hit me as soon as we walked down the stairs off the Virgin flight 

    (ps. Virgin - wonderful!!? What a joke !!!! - delayed 40 minutes arrival ). 
     

    Dees will need good rotations through the midfield 

    Having a sub will help !

    Yep, me too 


    If it’s 31C, will there be extra breaks? What’s the AFL heat policy? I realise it’s a night game, but that’s a ridiculous temperature to be playing AFL football in

    According to BOM it'll be 25 degrees from about 7 pm onwards.  Don't know about humidity though!

    My phone weather predicts humidity between 70 to 80% from 8 to 11 p.m. ice vests and fans needed I suspect.

    Do the Richmond players still money grab these nights years after there flags???

    Dunno. But I must say 2021 was the subject of discourse for the majority of the night. 🏆❤️💙

    BTW, two thirds of the night was great. The other third, Clarrie spoke.  😁

    Seriously, I couldn’t understand a word he said apart from “hello” at the start.

    I live in Brisbane. It’s cooled down quite a bit after a heat wave. Last weekend was absolutely stinking hot, so looks like we will be fairly fortunate with the weather. It will be relatively temperate and the real hot edge to days and nights has eased this week.

    Have it on good authority that it has been an unhappy team at the Brisbane Lions over the offseason.  Not sure of the cause, or if it was a factor in them starting poorly v Port.  But just passing on what I’ve heard.

    So I assume May will be suiting up for Casey in that case?

    On Tuesday Goodwin doubled down from the post game presser saying all four players (May, Salem, Fritta, Viney) will be available for selection at either MFC or Casey.

    (on a serious note, if your mail is solid, then they obviously don’t want to risk May so early in the season.

     

    pressure is already on the Lions. could be 0-2. then play the dogs away and the Pies

    they will be fired up for friday! pity we might not have our brutes in viney may kozzi

    • 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.
