Wow, our absent list has ballooned lately. #noinjuries#

I'm keen to see if Joeboy has been spending time in the g̶y̶m̶ library.

Partner giveaways, crikey, didn't know MFC are now hosting swap meets. I'll tell the Mrs to put on some more lippy.

How nice it is to have a game day thread again. I'll be watching this one on Kayo. 

 

Hi Demonland family. Could someone please advise which Fox channel the game will be broadcast on? I know that might seem like a strange question, but my google-machine skills have failed me thus far. 

Bonus round question: if I were to presently turn to said channel, what would be currently showing? 

On an unrelated note: does anyone recall the equivalent match getting cut short last time around when everyone got bored? I haven't google that yet because I'm already here asking questions now.

I’m sure they called the equivalent game last year, “match simulation”. What’s the difference between that and a “scratch match”?

The difference  ??..  well as you ponder that you might scratch your head .... and there ya go ;) 


Dees by 187 pts!

Nice… for now. When the season proper starts… not so much. 😅

Excited to see Windsor, how Billings will be played, who will be more suited to backfill Pig’s role out of Tomlinson / Howes, any opportunities for Verrall, and from a game play perspective how we enter forward 50 and our accuracy.

For Richmond I’m interested to see Yze’s style, and also keen on seeing McAuliffe - apparently a jet.

Go Dees

Lachie Hunter aka keen bean has been out there warming up for ages. Tmac and Langers are walking around the boundary chatting. All the players are now out there…

FOOTY’S BACK Y’ALL!!!

Hunter still doing laps. Tomlinson and Langdon walking laps. Looks a hive of activity around the ground.

First time at Casey and it looks a treat.

Hopefully finding synonyms for “limited”.

Bring empty bellies!

Ah, true! Although up until the first bounce it's pretty sane. Completely toxic thereafter.

    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.
