    I think the hurricane last year didn’t help 😂

    What didn't help was the geniuses in our Brains Trust (sic) who decided to bring in Ben Brown & Grundy on a soaking wet day. It cost us the game & not for the first time.

    Very evenly matched with tough assignments all across the ground, and I’m struggling to find a genuine reason why either side should win.
    Clutching at straws, but my red and blue heart tells me that our home ground advantage will get us over the line by 7 points.

    Just back from France and Portugal. Jet lag had me up at 3am. I’ve had breakfast and read the news, but the game is still 8 hours away. Go Demons.

    You better have a nap 


    Not sure where our goals will come from.

    Petty will need to play well and hit the scoreboard.

    Not confident at all. Maybe Kozzie to kick a bag.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    I took a leisurely drive to the game in Alice last year.

    I know your real name now....   Rob McKenna. A god of rain and perhaps a good shiraz.  Try Simon Clayfield's, you'll love it.

    And mcVee on Young

    Our starts have been so poor, but we rarely get blown away. If we are even-ish at the end of the first quarter, I reckon  we win. Fritsch, Kozzie and ANB to do the goal kicking damage. Dees by 16.

    SeeTravelling by train from Sydney to Goulburn, won't arrive till 3 pm we will have to watch on delay. Those at the game help the boys bring it home.


    I’m left wondering why this game wasn’t played during Sir Doug Nicholls round?

    There was 2 rounds to factor this in. Yet again another poor fixturing conundrum

    Well I'll only be ablt to see the first quarter so later on when I come home from work I wnat to see 3 things.

    A melbourne win, no injuries and Gold coast have beaten essendon


    I've done well to avoid David King for most of tgis season.

    I just had a reminder why.

    On the fox pre coverage King declares the dees 'have been credited with performances they don't necessarily deserve'

    What the flying does that actually mean?

    HOW GOOD DID OUR BANNER LOOK!!!

    Freo didn’t even have a banner, they had a guard of honour. We had a banner AND a guard of honour. Yeah the Dees!!!

    The wet patch on the ground is a worry. 
    Please no injuries.

    • 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?
