But it’s different when you’re the grandparent right? Aren’t kids generally well-behaved with grandparents despite being little [censored] at home?

The reason grand parents and grandchildren get on so well is they have a common enemy! 

 

Quick power workout done and now to swing to the sweet sounds of risk management.

Petty, we’ve experimented with different set ups but ultimately 2 talls plus Lever works for reasons already discussed on here, and as good as Thommo was two weeks ago, Petty is a gun. I like the look of the fwd line as inexperienced as our two keys talls are (having Grundy / Gawn rotate through the fwd line allows us to do this). There’s a feeling of youth and excitement about it but ultimately what I like is we’re back to being mobile again. We have a great mix of players with Chandler taking his chances and Kosi who is well over due for a big one. Then there’s Fritsch who is possibly one of the most underrated players in the game. (I base this on his inability to get picked in an AA team, a team that I keep telling myself each year I care less about). Out of all of our learnings the quick mobile fwd line is the biggest so far.

Love you comment on Fritsch. I comfort myself on his 6 goals in a gf and personally was key to saving us in 3rd quarter. Plus he has a medal.

The AA does suck. Bit like the brownlow. Fairest and best midfielder only. 

Good time Charlie as the sub is what I expected.

Could be some interesting moves made by Goodwin this evening and it will, of course depend on the circumstances of the game. 

Petty could play forward or back and will be effective at both ends of the ground as required. 

Something from left field I would like to see is Smith given a center bounce as an attending mid. might be something that would throw the cats. 

 

Just made a mercy dash to the Romsey IGA to pick up a couple of "just in case" bottles of Shiraz.

I couldn't resist a quaffer called "squealing pig " - I figured it might be appropriate to a post game Chris Scott.

Just listened to Goody on Fox.

He said Oliver had a bit of hamstring tightness ... and added that ... any other suggestions are incorrect

So he's not on that Sub.

Umpire #22. Lovely. He's horrible.

Bloody freezing here in Sydney. Will be watching from a warm bed.

My daughter sent me a text last night. Coldest June day in Sydney in 15 years. I'm part of a Kirribilli Walking Group that meets Thursday mornings at 7. A little bit brisk today 😀

Sorry, unfortunately my model flipped to Geelong by 1.2 points following team announcements! It will update again once subs are announced.

@WheeloRatings You're now predicting a 2 point loss. We need to get this game happening before it gets any worse!

Looks like @binman was on the money. Charlie wasn't dropped. He's just having his load managed. I have mixed feelings. I would love to have seen Taj playing, but wouldn't like to have him debuting as sub.

The actual worse and he hates Melbourne. I am convinced of it.

Geelong is known for late changes so it could still change again!

This is a big game. Win and we are a game clear of the pack and well on our way to top 4.

Lose and we are back with the pack looking over our shoulder each week.

Form says we should win but we cannot afford to repeat our inaccuracy of the English King's Birthday.

Dees by 22 !!

What’s the bet we get smashed by the umpires tonight?

Well we are 3rd worst for Goals from frees and against and the stat for our frees generally has dropped the last 4-6 games.

We are also playing at Kitty Litter stadium, dominated by kitty fans, so it is pretty obvious what will happen.

Mitch Cleary just tweeted that we won tonight’s game by 6 goals and then deleted it two minutes later…

  • 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.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
