McAdam?

Fair enough 

 

My prediction is the Tigers will throw everything they can muster at us early.

Possibly even heading into half-time in front. 

Then this particular thread will become a place of darkness. Season over. Certain players will be told to never play for us again. 

Then the more well-rounded team (ours) will systematically carve it’s way to a 42-point win. 

Hooray!

    For those unable to attend tonight's reverential and otherwise solemn ceremony prior to the game. As the stadium lights return and the game is about to begin. Forget the SEN app, mute Seven's commentary. Flip the disc onto the turntable platter and pump up the volume.

    PLAY LIST

    1. Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive (if the tiggers go hard in the first half and the Dees are behind)

    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)

    4. Evelyn 'Champagne' King - Shame (default if the umpiring is one -sided otherwise select dom perignon)

    5. Average White Band -Pick up the Pieces (if Richmond has momentum Maysie and the Boys may need to...)

    6. Chic - Le Freak (Bayley has broken off the chain. Nothing more need be said)

    7. Van McCoy - Do the Hustle (Max, Clarry, Tracc and Vines take command  in the centre square)

    8. Donna Summer - Hot Stuff  (Kysaiah Pickett receives nomination for AFL Father of the Year and turns it on at the 'G)

    9. KC and the Sunshine Band - Shake Your Booty (Jacob van Rooyen celebrates contract extension with a big goal)

    10. The Trammps - Disco Inferno (Dees apply the blowtorch to the now faltering tigers)

    11. Rose Royce - Car Wash (Ooze looses personal bet with Goody. Will give the Jag XE a polish as well)

    12. Earth Wind and Fire -September (expectations will be exceeded).

     

    Bravo.

    Perhaps a shout out to You ain't seen nothing yet by Backman- TURNER Overdrive.

    It ain't Disco but his namesake gets a guernsey.

    In Raglan NZ at the moment. How are you watching? VPN?

     

    Hoping for a quality game from Clayton Oliver tonight. He was absolutely dreadful defensively last game, especially in the first quarter. That's fine if he's damaging offensively, but he was just about nonexistent in both facets of the game with that hand injury.

    Quite chilly here in Melbourne now (apparent temp 11.9deg) but looks like the rain has gone and it will be a dry game..

    Arguably his weakest 4 quarter effort for the club in memory. Then again it’s hard to tackle with one hand but he rarely got into contests. Should have been rested.

    Outside the ground and there's a very light shower at the moment.

    There is a wonderful scene from one of its episodes. Unfortunately I can't recall which one.

    But I'll set the scene. Beaver one afternoon had done something wrong and the Father at dinner time gave him a stern dressing down.

    The next scene at breakfast the next day has the mother saying to the father.....

    "Gee you were a bit hard on the old beaver last night".

    • 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.

    • 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?
