    Game day baby. Let’s go Dees. Looking forward to another win today (and also Bluey and Bingo pre game entertainment). Might need a couple of cold ones to keep me warm!

    Still drizzling constantly. Slivers of blue sky in the distance.

    Drizzle has stopped.

    Breaks in clouds now, as blue peaks through.

    We have a bad habit of only doing what we have to. Even more so when playing teams down the ladder.

    Give me a win with no injuries.
    I'm easily pleased at this time of year.

    Adelaide aren’t a bad side though so I doubt we will get it all our way

    Good interview with Yze just then on triple M.

    1) confirmed Trac will play 80/20 forward.

    2) Actually gave a bit of solid info about Clarry. They’re targeting the North game for his return. Trained well during the week.

    3) Wants to put his name in the hat for the Richmond job.

    Adelaide are a poor team who only win at home and start very slow when interstate.

    Very big game today for two reasons

    1. Ladder position

    2. Improvement in forward line (especially BBB, Chandler and Melksham. The last named is very important as we go through the next 5 odd weeks without Fritsch) I would also like to see a solid four quarters from JVR

    Adelaide will come hard at our defence through the corridor. Like many teams they play mainly a less skilled version of the Pies/Port gameplan. Our half back line is the key

     Just bumped into Max at the G. He is pumped for a big one. F69E9A17-F266-492E-9359-8FA63A940B43.thumb.jpeg.6c4b45331ef33b97fdfa40b206642a26.jpeg

    Searching for an omen, on the way to the ground I saw three ravens sitting on a fence. One looked at the others, shook its head and said, 'Nevermore.'

    Dees by 29 points.

    1) Great to hear - Trac is going beautifully in the forward line

    2) Another bit of good news, hoping it comes to fruition and he can get back up to speed in time for finals

    3) One more flag and he's a senior coach in waiting, but not until then IMO

    At the Bermagui Beach Hotel for this one.  The screens are more AFL &  racing than NRL👏🏼 Hope they don't switch em over after the GWS game...

    Looking forward to Rivers producing more and more of last week’s final quarter.

    Chaplin on Rivers, scary.

    I had a meeting with him yesterday and reviewed his tape and I was pretty honest with him, I said I think you're only at about 75-80 per cent capacity for what you're capable of.

     

    80% is still a distinction

    • 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.

      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.
