Every finals campaign, someone cements themselves in footy folklore. Who will it be in 2023?

My guess is Gus for the mighty Dees. He was pivotal in the 21 Grand Final and I recon he is building to something special. 
 
Who from the Dees or the other 7 clubs is going to produce a September master class?

    Rivers, with Salem to find some touch.

    JVR to enter folklore with a kick after the siren to seal the win. Preferably from directly in front of Bay M8.

    Judd McVee to become immortalised like Shane Ellen.

    Trac or Fritsch will go berserk this finals series, and Rivers is now settled in his role and in ripping form. So those three at least.

    Remember to tell Max to choose the right side of the field when he wins the coin toss

    Petracca will step up again. He was looking very determined and dominant in the second half against the Swans. He’s a weapon. It’s like a switch flicked and he was like righto the real stuff starts now, similar to Dusty firing up in finals in years past. 

    Might be another Norm Smith coming his way!

    They'd have to rename the Dom Sheed pocket to the JVR pocket 😉

    Rivers will make people stand up and take notice. He has increasingly been slicing through traffic at top speed coming out of D50 and it’ll stand out.

    Viney for his pure will to win. I think his sublime GF performance gets overlooked, but he was integral.

    Also McVee to get plaudits for doing a job on some big name players.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      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?
