Well they thrashed us last time & we had max. Now we don't.

However I'm hoping we've got our game back on track.

When I wake up tomorrow morning I want to wake up to a win please.

How long you planning on sleeping for?

The game won’t finish for another 17 hours.

    Optimistic but realistic going into this one.

    A tough game on paper.

    So many unexpected results for many teams this year though.

    I'm overseas so with the time difference by the time I wake up it will be over. Hopefully I wake up to good news

    Hopeful or Expectant changes on a quarter by quarter basis for me. That darn Lions game! :laugh:

    GAME-DAY?  More like…

    GAME-YAY!

    We’ve got this. We’ve got this so much, it hurts. Hurts the Dockers, that is 😜

    Us by my boy Melks - 18 pts

    CARNA MIGHTY DEES!!!

    GIVE ‘EM HELL!!!

    ❤️💙🫶🏼❤️💙

     


    Not showing off (except totes showing off so much it’s not funny) I got a video message from Melky yesterday. He is supremely confident (but not cocky or arrogant) about today. So rest at ease, fellow DL-ers and Demons tragics… if Melks is confident, so too should we be.

     

    PS Red Bull and toothpaste don’t go together 😐

    YOLO! I’ll sleep when I’m dead 🤪

    Thats actually a dumb saying. Folks who say this clearly haven’t grasped the concept of sleep, nor death 🙃

    I slept for maybe two hours last night. Not staying in Perth tonight, got an 11:45pm flight home with Mrs Frittata. Neither of us will have slept in more than 24 hours so it’s a good thing *we’re gonna win today; it’ll make the trip home bearable.

    *yeah, I said WE’RE GONNA WIN, coz we are K? K!

    Mixing Red Bull and toothpaste should give you a clue.

    Game day baby. Pumped!

    Pressure all on freo. This is a free hit for us. Redemption baby.

    Go Dees.

    I always find it quite nice after a scotch

    The young guys coming in has infused the team with some youthful energy. The boys will be confident and believe they can win. I think we'll deliver a performance. Not sure of a win but we will not capitulate this time.

    Tough ask over there but its Freo we’re up against. They are liable to [censored] the bed. There's plenty of reason to be hopeful.

    Heart says gutsy win, head says gallant 15-point loss

    They’re a fully fit team with no best 22 injured, playing at home, a ruck combo against our no ruck, and their defensive structure of Pearce, Ryan, Cox, Clark) is probably the best in the league at the moment.

     

    Dees by 12 points. 🔴🔵

    I would like to say I'm confident but I'd be lying.

    I've watched Freo of late and they're impressive team on the rise. They're starting to build some really good self belief within the team, not saying we aren't either, but seems that JL seems to have them finally connecting in all three lines of the ground

    Freo at home this year have been hard to stop. Yes they lost to West Coast but I think like us they were just completely off their game. Their slingshot off half back and ability to move the ball at speed is what is winning them games this year. See the Sydney game where this was on display. 

    The Jackson/Darcy combo is another factor. Forget Draper, these two are miles ahead of him. It worries me that we're going to be putting more focus on JVR as a ruckman this week then we would initially like because Petty struggled to provide a solid contest when he was in there.

    Can see this one going right down to the wire.

    Go Dees.

    Just keep building on the last few weeks and we are a big chance to win.

    Petty broke Draper, now Darcy and Dogga’s turn.

    Love the weekly enthusiasm SN34 💪

    Only way I see us winning this one is evening up on clearance and it rain during the game to help stop their uncontested game. 

     

    Essendon lose

    Collingwood lose

    Geelong lose

    Melbourne???

    Perfect weekend if the Dees win

    Talk about a season defining game.

    Will be tough to win but finals birth for sure if we do.

    Go Dees.

    • 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?
