Very easy task this week:  only a page and a bit to wade through.  Unsurprisingly their few fans are not that engaged.

  • I'm not saying i'd sell my soul (if i had one) for a win…Buuuuuuuut....
  • Finally had good communication and run and carry against Richmond.  Demons will be a totally different task.
  • Our midfield will need to be on fire and our forward line will need to click as well.
  • If we bring our third quarter for the whole game we'll win.
  • Unlike the previous 2, this isn't a must win for me, but we can't be carved up.  unlucky for melbourne playing such an inform team like the suns.
    • Ha just their luck coming up against such an in form formidable opponent.
  • Let’s keep the loss under 10 goals, dees will be coming in hot after pumping a poor kangas team
  • If we could some how pinch this one, it would be huge, especially with WC the following week and getting us to 4-4
  • Melbourne are getting a bruise-free training drill before next week. 
  • Saturday arvo 4.30.  At least if it's thrashing the rest of the footy world will have forgotten about it by lunchtime Sunday if not 10pm Saturday

    I won't be around much to do these for the rest of May so if someone would like to take over these reports, you are welcome.

    @Queanbeyan DemonI think this was your gig before I hijacked it...

    It’s truly telling how little engagement this club has after so long in the competition.

    Anyways our first quarter > their third quarter 

    Take this lightly and we will lose. Come out with the same mindset we did against Norf and it’ll be a 10 goal smashing.

    This is a fair point.  GCS seem to always give us a hard time when we go there.  We can't be complacent.

    And yet I don't think we've lost to them since 2014.

    I think it works in our favour that this game is at 4:30 and not at night, it will be less slippery and dewy which we struggle with.

    Having said that, I haven't checked the weather forecast and for all I know it could be pounding down with rain

    forecast no rain, light winds 22/23c at start of game, 20/21c at end of game.  sounds good conditions

    I think those comments are balanced, and will add two things. Be very interested to see how many frees Matty Rowell will get along with Lucretia and Is i hope we get Razor again.

    Autocorrect for Lukosius? If so, your device is impressively refined.

    Rowell vs Clarrie and Viney for contested possessions will be fun to watch.

    Given these weekly threads usually come with street names:

    "Where's the road out of here?"

     

    What they’re saying at Nerang Broadbeach Road, doesn’t have the same ring to it 🤣

    • 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.
