Not cheap, but I think pints are over 14 normally 

Pints have really caught on. Even in trendy Wollongong they are all the go.

Such a wonderful standard unit of measurement where one can swear in good conscience in a court of law that "I'd only had a couple of beers".

    Looking forward to it. Train in from the SE suburbs has a fair few fans on it. Hope the crowd is strong. Go dees!

    And on top of it all, you can visualise this lovely exchange every time you order one:

    No point wasting time with pots. Pints the only way to go if you're being serious.

    An hour before the bounce and it does not matter where in the world you are, it is still an hour before the bounce.

    What I want to see this evening is the team 'on' from the first bounce. I want to see us playing the game on our terms and making sure that the Tiges are reacting and on the back foot. The on-field leaders have to do their job of keeping minds concentrating.

    Pressure, Pressure, Pressure on the ball, the ball carrier and the possible next receivers all over the ground. A team game.

    Individual performances I will be keeping an eye on:

    Viney - he has been in great form this season except for the Lions game. I want to see him respond. 

    McVee - just cause I enjoy watching him.

    Petty - had a couple of games back and there is now no excuse not to perform.

    Win for the Dees by 6/7 goals.... heart over head? we shall see.

    Expect a lift everywhere. But for a few last game, we were so flat. I don't know what happened but we looked very ordinary on our own turf. Ill pay that we played last year's runner's up but something went wrong somewhere. 

    Tonight there's no where to hide and no excuses. No fatigue .

    Our midfielders need to get back to winning the centre clearances and stop teams connecting with all Maxy's tap wins.

    Our forward line needs to get cracking. If we can't hold our marks then they need to follow up with non stop tackles and pressure. 

    Hopefully Olivers much better after his operation and Kozzie bolsters our pressure acts.

    I'll back Petts to come out firing and have a big game in the absence of Bbb.

    The focus is all on us tonight not the tigers. If we are a top four team then we need to have a comfortable win this evening.

    Enjoy the game ladies and gents. Especially those of you there. Cheers.

    Laurie the sub.

    Turner starting.

    Probably on the bench to fill Roohey's role when he takes over from Max in the middle and also when he's resting on the sidelines.

    Good luck young fella!

    • 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?
