Whoa! I just noticed something I’ve never noticed before and I think it’s a sign! Wearing a huge hoodie that belongs to my son and look what’s on the sleeve!

So impressed with Tmacs return to form. I just hope Bbb can back to how he was against the dogs. I thought Tmac was done and dusted but he has re.. reinvented himself down back again and doing a very solid job.  

As for Bbb I think he may have been hampered by his injuries again  in his last two outings and so yea he sadly needs a break.

 

Yeah they are both playing in the lap of the injury gods . TMac works well down back ,but I hope in doesn't get the stage where they move him forward to cover a problem.

The only "ins" forward should  be Melksham ,"rotating smalls" and players coming up from Casey.

Milkshake eventually would have  a good feel to like TMac and BBB

Dont you do his ironing for him

This is the first ANZAC eve game I have missed, so like many others will be on the couch. 

I don't see this as an easy win at all. 3 main factors: 1)The Yze knowledge factor. 2) The Tiges three outstanding defenders (Grimes, Vlastuin and Broad) all back playing together, and 3) our still-forming forward mix.

But there is a huge class difference. Gawn will be at his unstoppable best, our backline should smother their forward efforts, and our best players are way better than theirs at the moment.

Even around half time, Dees to pull away to win by 25 - 30 points.

For those of you not in Melbourne I can report that after a wet night, we are now bathed in glorious sunshine. From where I am (inner Melbourne) there's not a cloud in the sky. Hope it stays that way for the rest of the day.

It's still raining in Clayton and I've just heard it's snowing on Mt Buller!

What is this ‘ironing’ of which you speak? 
 

 I actually do own an iron but I’m only hanging onto it because I figure it’ll be a museum piece one day. 😁

The only two concerns for me are in this order;

1/ Slippery conditions / weather

2/ Shai Bolton

I don’t believe we are a great wet weather (or slippery ball team). We chronically overuse handball. Shai Bolton is a star. If we can overcome both challenges we have too much talent to drop this game and should win comfortably. Would love to put them away early and take away any hope they may have and silence the tiger faithful.

Forecast still indicates minimal rain from now on.

I'm (pleasingly) surprised by this. 

I feel for the past five seasons or so I've been excessively agitated and critical of our inability to defend the 'junk time' scoring of opposition sides! Gladly put in my place with this one, fantastic records on both stats.

They only cited the stat for points conceded in Time On not the stat for goals scored on the death of each quarter which for us is probably in the 80 to 90% range. *

* I have no stats to back this claim up.


We should pump them & if we do I still won’t be getting excited. Cats & Blues is the real test for the season so far.

and GWS...

we have all of them plus Collingwood in the next seven weeks (not to mention Freo and the Saints)

It will be season defining if we can go 5-2 or better

It is streamed on the "AFL live" app, as is most VFL, VFLW and other interstate tier 2 games.

A replay is also available the next day, usually.

2. Dan Hartman - Instant Reply (guaranteed to happen, AFL sanctioned score review with product placement).

3. Rick Dees -Disco Duck (give the man a guernsey)

  • 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?
