    No game on Friday night. Probably because RDB’s memorial service is on Friday.

    Surely on a Sunday afternoon at Ikon for $10 a ticket (kids go free) we’ll pull a big crowd.

    It'll be so good to see you and the rest of the DA again!  ❤💙

    I'm going to try and rope my whole family in, so that should add 5 to the crowd size!

    That's a bit rude WCW !

    You bastardised my post! I said “I smell a BBQ 😂”  Had I said, “I smell a BBO” I would’ve chosen a different emoji, this one… 💩

    AFL really have nothing to do with that unless you feel it is a respect issue for the Club.

    That could have featured another game if they wanted to.

    State Govt and the Barassi family organised the date arrangements for the Memorial service on Friday.

    I am worried about the number of good players we may have missing.

    Paxy would be a huge loss. She is such a great player and inspiration.  That said, there is still so much talent in this team. They will want to prove a point after Saturday. 

    Bring it on!

    You think for even a second they wouldn’t have a final on TV on a Friday night? Of course they would!

    It actually is out of respect that there’s no matches scheduled for Friday night.

    And I wouldn’t say the AFL has nothing to do with it. Ron was a lifetime AFL member and a champion of the VFL/AFL, the inaugural Hall of Fame inductee. Of course the AFL has something to do with it!

    I've got my ticket!

    This game is anxiety central. Like others, I feel that North is really on the brink of breaking through right now. We need a big effort. Soft fixture or otherwise, everything resets now and nothing is guaranteed, for us or anyone else. Hopefully we'll have the crowd behind us like we did last game against them. Every bit counts!

    Yep, have to say I'll really be pleased if we win on Sunday.  Who plays will be important but I think fate might be against us.

    I’m actually super confident about Sunday. At Ikon (our home away from home), clement weather predicted (20 degrees with slight chance of rain) in front of what’s expected to be a good-sized crowd and vs North, who I feel we’ll comfortably beat. Bring it on!!!

    3 x tickets for me and 2 of my kiddoes - $10 the lot. Get around it Dees fans!

    I wish I could be so optimistic.  You have my admiration. 😁

    It would be nice to see some of our M players there to support the girls. I realise they’re still on their break and some of them are away on holidays but even just a couple of them attending would be great. Would mean a lot to the players, I’m sure.

    Well we know that at least Ben Brown will be there. 😁

    He sure will be. And we’ll likely not even spot him. I’ve noticed at training and warmups etc. when he leaves the field he walks amongst the players and keeps his head down. He knows it’s not about him. Such an incredible person.

    • 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.
