Just finishing off a little soiree at The Manor. Good night all round and enjoying lashings for desert.

After a quick kip, your good old Uncle Bitter will be up and about to watch the Dees clean up the Doggies.

The highlight for me today will be, Kozzie's return, Clarrie's improvement from last week's run and Max bouncing back.

I'm also keen for Hore to go well - as I thought he was stiff when de listed.

The Dogs are no mugs and if the Dees are a bit off it could be dangerous 

DEES by 27 points.

    Need the win. 0-2 start not ideal.

    The doggies, however, are our bunnies. We'll be much better today and will win this one.

    Max, Clarry, Trac and Fritschy to the fore.

    Forecast to be a beautiful day. Looking forward to getting along to the G with my boy to cheer on the red and blue.

    Go Dees

    We’re heading to Tassie for a week or two and today we’ll be in Geelong. So I’ll be watching the game at the Sporting Globe.

    Today we’ll find out if we’re a challenger this year. Dry weather football at the G. No weather excuses, and barring some unforeseen injury crisis, we’ll get a proper look.

    Well here we all are again.

    Laughter or tears.

    Praise or criticism.

    I'm not very confident but I'm glad footy is back.

    As Uncle Bitters mentioned, good to see Kozzie back.

    Us by elevensees.

    ( Maybe).

    We have a car load coming to the game today, I am really looking forward to being back at the G surrounded by familiar faces and watching our regulars and newbies have a great game. Really interested in seeing how our boys respond to our off season issues. Dees by 30 in a hard fought tussle. Bring it on Dees.!!!

    Today it’s all about Gussy.

    No one deserves a celebration of their incredible career more than our Gus.

    We have Gussy helmets for sale ($20) at the back of Bay M3 from 11:45am ‘til 20 mins before the first bounce. Not many left but we’re hoping to sell them all as the entire proceeds will go to the Danny Frawley Foundation, very close to Gussy’s heart.

    😊


    Aside from wanting the win keen to see how we play in what looks to be perfect conditions. Reading the Casey match day thread and looking at today’s team we really don’t have much depth if any. We need a dream run with injuries this year. The Swans and Giants have shown the competition what’s required, what have we got?

    Really need Ben brown to have a good game because Petty is no where near ready. Worries me if he kicks 0 this week and doesn’t even look half decent

    We have the perfect trophy collecting dust.

    Kicking 0 but competing and not letting his opponent take an intercept mark is a pass for me. Bring it to ground and let Kozi, Fritta, Tracc and the gang get to work. It's a week to week proposition, as we see how his body holds up to the rigours of the game in 2024

    Yep, needs to lead away from Fritta and JvR and take a key defender with him

    Couple of marks and a goal or two is a big win

    Yes, just worried about being to tall, and no cohesion with 5 ins...

    Also our talls are nowhere near as mobile as theres

    We all need to wear this against Collingwood on KB. Now that would make a statement

    not confident at all; not overly bothered tbh about the result - it's all about the 'process'

    it's a long, long season this year - footy has started at least a month too early - and imo we won't be up and going until midway through the year

    My red & blue heart ALWAYS says the Dees.  Not exactly sure what my head is telling me this morning, but I’ll attribute the lack of clarity to last night’s red wine and cognac.  Dees by 11 points!

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      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?
