In a welcome development, the radar says no rain today and humidity at comfortable levels 

The radar is drunk. ☔️ 🌧 💦 

 

Hawks & Mitchell will wants an early scalp to keep the wolves at bay. They’ll be up for this game and we need to be too.

Hit them hard early, or their belief will grow. Belief and doubt are infectious amongst youth, so snuff out their belief and play hard and tough football to lessen their appetite.

    First game for the year for me. I can’t wait. Dragging my Pies supporting husband along. Hopefully he can watch a winning team this weekend for a change 😀

    This is just the kind of game we are notorious for losing. 

    I'm nervous

    Looking at your Exorcist Avatar Hatchman makes me more nervous, one of the great movies of all time, particularly the green 🤮 Relax, mate we got this !!

    I would like to see us destroy Hawthorn today. They are a very average football team.

    Agree with you.

    Let's see if we have changed this season in the way we deal with teams when going in as the favoured, to win team.

    Ruthless has always been a catch cry we throw about. Today is the time for ruthlessness to be expressed and some classy footy played.

    Last thing I want to see is us being dragged down to a lesser level of play. If the Hawks play well, then our engine room has to purr/fire and we will be in for an entertaining game.

    Sparrow to bring 'it', Salem to set 'it' up, Fritsch to kick straight, and our top flight to maintain the tempo/momentum. 

    Go Dees!

    Amazing that they are offering replacement buses during Grand Prix weekend. Standard.


    I'm one of the ones who think that Petty is fine to have in but the chap i would like in   to really  mix up our forward line is Melksham.

    Well stating the bleedin obvious it wont be Clarry! 

    If its Hore, Brown, Windsor I'll be spewing 🤮

    I guess that leaves???? The Heartbreaker!

    I agree with you Picko but hope we are  both wrong


    Has anyone noticed that when you watch Foxtel footy in 4K, it’s a slightly better picture than HD, but the sound is out of sync with the picture?

    Defence need to pay the Hawks forwards one-on-one respect today imo.  Lewis, Nash, Breust and to extent Ginnivan are no slouches. Watson is an unknown but I haven't forgotten Rankine getting off the chain in his first game against us. Chol will prolly play a defensive role on Lever.

    Me too.

    Have known so many cocky Hawthorn supporters over my lifetime who just loved sticking the knives in when we were at our lowest.

    Every sweet win over Hawthorn makes those times disappear just a little more

    I'm going today. Gonna try and sneak into the Hawthorn reserved seat area on lev 2 Northern stand. I want to bait a few suffering wee and poos

    • 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.
