Same prefix. Different suffix. One painful. One not (well so far).

I also think Tmac is the obvious ruckman fitness wise as it just CANT be JVR, but seems as though it’ll be Petty/Turner combo as TMac likely needed for 2m-Peter or Jones.. 

Petty back would be only way TMac plays ruck — I’d prefer this based on how fwd line looked LW.  

I thought tmac still had issues that allow him to play well in defence running forward.  But manoeuvrability still a problem preventing him being effective around the ground and forward.

Jvr won't be hitting the scoreboard if he spends more time rucking.

A fascinating game coming up.

I am preemptively declaring this as the worst umpired game of the season. 
The list of umpires is as inspiring as a wet sock.

Checking in from a music festival in Basque country. (#not a humblebrag, but maybe a bit probably ). 

The last two days I've seen Massive Attack, Air, Underworld and Prodigy (and Grace Jones). 

There has to be some tea leaves among that lot. ? 

I don’t think so. 

But maybe to avoid a teardrop the sexy bit of the team can be born slippy and smack my [censored] up. My [censored] of course being the Scott brothers…

We must be careful to not be slaves to the rythym however…

As a rule, I have worried about our form trailing to the 'also rans'. Our new look (that DL enthusiasts begged for, for months and months) has finally seen the penny drop as far as the coaches are concerned, and including our personnel loses of late, it is possible to feel confident that we can beat Essendrug whose ability is inflated. Dees by about 20 points. (Channel 7 commentators, commenting on tonight's game stated clearly that Essendrug would win the match, as they need only teams with large memberships to make it to the finals. This explains much of their commentary this year and perhaps, the influence that the bigger clubs wield over the media expenditures, umpiring decisions and game conduct assessments for the majority of the competing teams). 

Last night showed how low the Pies are at the moment c.f. last year so bombers still haven't beaten anyone yet on which I'm hanging my confidence hat tonight

McDonald warming up with the midfielders, likely he will be doing a bit of the ruck work tonight 

The drizzle looks enchanting under the lights.

there wasn’t an appropriate emoji to respond to this

eye roll would be handy!

don’t get me wrong, I love a terrible joke! just ask my wife

My phone is saying no rain, it’s dry, no precipitation. How come I’m getting wet? 

Symphonic Smoke on the Water FTW.


Best of luck dees from the west coast of Ireland.

They use one of those pizza cutters. 

Oh no. Oh no. I was not ready for Kozzie Pickett's tiny baby in a full koala onesie to keep warm in the rain.

That is superb and no matter what else happens tonight that is getting the 6 votes from me postgame.


Am I calm because I’m quietly confident of a good win by the boys, with likely a big role played by our kids, or because I’m blissfully ignorant of being taught another lesson by the bombers? 

Guess we’ll find out soon!!!

(i think we win tonight, big game from Kozzy and Clarry and Petty will play a big part as well).

let’s go!! 🔥💙❤️

  • 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.
