Also well done on Angus on his 150th

… and on his and Danielle’s engagement early this week!!!

Might not be noticeable from the stands, but on tonight’s banner, along with the huge Gussy graphic, we’ve included a little nod to their engagement…

Huge rock, right there. Easily Gussy’s salary for a year. 😂

Edit: not sure what happened to my pic, it seems to have disappeared. I’ll try again. Anyways, we’ve included an engagement ring on tonight’s banner.

I'm surprised there's not more mention of the 5 day break. It's a huge factor. Clarkson can easily get them playing a really defensive style that keeps them in it until 3 qt. I'm thinking an ugly, tense 25 pt win.

but it is time this club became ruthless

It has been MIA basically since we held the cup aloft. We need to bring that aggression and attitude back for us to really click into gear.

I’ve been invited by a friend who is a North insider. He has stressed no opposition colours as we’ll be going into the North rooms. 🤐

I’ll be undercover, no matter the weather.

5-day breaks are gonna happen. I’m just happy it’s not the likes of Collingwood we’re up against tonight.

If it’s any consolation the two teams (Dogs and Crows) that have a played on a 5-day break so far have both won. It is what it is unfortunately, will happen to every team.

Scrap that, Saints lost last night after 5 days. Carry on.

Thinking a 4-8 goal win but we must control the game

Gotta crack the 120 point mark.


Should be a 7-8 goal win and needs to be. Percentage is important to cash in on these lowly clubs. We have a run where we can really do it some favours. I watched North last week and they were pathetic, they'll either come out firing or continue their poor form.

I'll settle for a 15 goal win tonight. 

JVR to kick his first bag and take another contender. 

first half will be a slog and not good to watch as they flood back and put some pressure on. 

then we’ll smash them in the 2nd half

55pt win

That's interesting. I checked those results and they were both playing sides that had a six day break like we are tonight. I always thought that once you get have a 5 day break if the other team has a longer break you are in big trouble. But those results show otherwise - thank you. I'll revise my prediction up to a 45 point win 😂

Key to these games are to break them early 1st quarter always important.

Against the lesser likes its crucial in breaking their collective spirit.

Conversely the trick to beating us is the same..  apply buckets of pressure and throw everything and the sink at us.

Tbh.. it works... ( more often than not...these days )

Agree. Hit them hard early and dampen any spirit they might have had. We’ve started poor recently, so hopefully it has been a focal point at training. Then come out after 1/4 time and smash them again.

Frees last night 28-14 in favour of Saints.

Obviously the winner was second to the ball all night.

The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I remember the match v Norf last year. I watched it at the Coogee Bay Hotel with my Sydney residing daughter, her then boyfriend and his father.

We were down at half time ... Norf were really aggressive, and poor Lingers copped injured ribs courtesy of that charming man Taryn Thomas. (I spoke to him at Family Day ... he told me it was actually 4 broken ribs .) He was never the same after that. 

Hopefully those horrible Norf players won't be so mean this time. 


Perfect footy weather. Rug up. No excuses. 
If we lose I’m going to lose my mind.

Yeah, they went after us physically in that game for sure. I’m hoping it’s not the same this year. We limped home after that.

If I were you I'd wear my colours to the game and wait outside the North rooms til my friend is done 🤣

  • 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.
