    Lions are flat track bullies.

    We are a better team than them. We are fit and primed. We will deliver a proper performance.

    Dees by 35 points

    No injuries & a good win like last time please.

    I'd like to see Grundy assert himself a bit more tonight. A few more marks & a goal or 2 would be nice. I know he is still adjusting but hope he & gawn smash it.

    Did Pig travel up with them? I see he isn’t on the emergency list but I do worry a bit about what the plan is to shut down Charlie if he gets off the leash. Melk was great as sub last week but I wonder if Pig is a better choice tonight (assuming Tommo plays for May and Pig is elevated onto emergency list).

    We are better than Brisbane: more even and more stars; stronger; more confident;  and with a better game plan.  Ruthless Dees by 6+ goals.

    We are better than them, smarter than them and more attractive than them. Let's do this.

    Last year we were well and truly the hunted. This year we are the hunters. Got a doggie scalp last week, tonight we are going to bring down a lion. GO DEES!!!

    Need to bash them up in the midfield, last week they looked soft in there despite the big names they have

    This is a big game. Too early on to be season defining and also a tough one to be back on the road. But we travel very well and certainly have the motivation to beat them for beating us in the final last year. A win up there will be huge and I think we will. With Jv back our midfield and dynamic ruck combo will be simply too strong. Bbb is firing and Fritta will be itching to get on the scoreboard. Tmac to get back to his best and take a bucket of marks.  Can't wait.

    Soft underbelly all round.

    Coleman is a massive out for them. One less ball user to worry about coming out of the back line.

    @Josh As DeelightfulPlay said in the pre-game thread, we’ll be in Bay 213. Entering through Gate 8

    MFCSS is back in full swing. They will be hard to beat this week and they are at home. Yes we travel well but they are a much better team on their home ground.

    68 - 78 % humidity on the forecast.

    Will make for a slippery pill. 

    My MFCSS says we'll miss Kossie - obviously.... 

    Weather report from Brisbane. Was the coolest morning here for about 4 months with the MoeMobile saying 20 degrees at 7am. A week ago it was 28 at the same time. 
     

    Some dew on the windscreen which I have not seen in about the same time. 
     

    Nowhere near as hot and humid as it has been. Should be a nice night but will likely get a bit slippery later in the evening.

    • 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.
