    Today should be a regulation take the 4 points and move on game. We are contenders, Essendon are pretenders.

    If the weather turns out to be as ****ty as some are suggesting then that may prove something of an equaliser.

    Would be a highlight to see someone run over the "choirboy" Parish. Stringer can turn it on, but against us, he'll find it a difficult proposition surrounded by quality defenders.

    I actually don't mind Draper. Good ruckman and useful up forward so will make Grundy work.

    Tip. Kozzie to kick four in another 50 point win.

    PS. My sources inform that @WalkingCivilWar is currently in a horseless carriage and on route to Adelaide. Imagine being in the same vehicle for that journey! Poor bastards!

    I think it’s time to start a Deathriding thread for Essendon.

    I know we don’t have their draft pick but I hate them so much!

    Or some good old fashioned jumper waving after the win.

    Ugh. Working in a secure environment until about 6.30. Not even phones.

    Boooooo.

    Add an extra yell for me, all right?

    I'll probably watch the game on replay anyway, so if it is a proper thriller please name the match thread 'Spoiler Alert'.

    How many Essendon players would get into our team? Stringer perhaps, if he did a 6-week intensive strength and conditioning program. Merritt maybe. I like Ridley and Draper but we have superior players in their positions.

    We are a much better team and should be aiming for a regulation 5-6 goal win.

    If it's wet, we win by 15 if its dry we win by 35.

    I’ll have you know that I have the very important job of keeping the others awake. And I’m nailing it! Maybe nailing it a little too much, one of them just asked me if I’d like a pillow for when I doze off. 🤭 Not happenin’ anytime soon though coz…

    Rookie error, girls. Don’t let me loose in the servo. 😁

    Dees win today, AND Pies get the job done tomorrow (which they will as another pretender a la Blues goes down), Monday morning the MFC is top of the ladder.  Then come and get us.

    Sunny but windy this side of the Maribyrnong this morning. 30km bike ride already done and bacon & egg roll and 2nd coffee already demolished. Let's shake off the setback of our 2023 draft placings momentarily and focus on the red & blue buzz saw that will be adding Essendon to the wood chip pile this afternoon.

    We just have to thrash them. I don't want a close game, I don't want to see stringer kicking goals. Lets make there supporters afternoon miserable. Oh and Brad Scotts to.

    If the forecast for rain in Adelaide looks like being accurate, BBB should be replaced 

    Very sceptical about BBB playing if there's steady rain

    Would love a ten goal flogging of the Bombers, of course always happy to just win and take the four points.

    Agree with many posters, if it pours JJ in for BBB seems to make sense!

    Kossie for 5.2 this week!

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
