    It should have been a day game, and the Essendon game under the roof a night game.  Or the Q clash.   Terrible schedule from the AFL. The weather report said likely hail.

     

    But we were there. I drove from Shepparton

    Severe mental illness and not earning enough money will do it. 
     

    Happy you’re able to go but some of us struggle every day just to survive.

    I couldn’t get out of the house. Somebody glued my doors and windows shut.

    Buy a membership every year for me and my daughter, live In Ballarat, but never attend night matches. Daughter not interested in footy, so it’s a donation.

    Not only do I not need an excuse not to go to a game, I certainly don’t need to explain to you why I didn’t.

    Ps. We won a Grand Final with bugger all loyal MFC supporters there. Tonight’s loss was due to numerous factors, the sparse crowd was not one of them.

    If you don't think a crowd of 40k screaming Melb fans wouldn't have an impact. It says more about you.

    So you think 40k fans would have meant we didn't go 8-0 in centre bounce clearences in the last quarter??

    Or maybe 40k fans would have meant Tom McDonald doesn't get outmarked twice by Hogan in thr last quarter which results in goals?

    Right.

    I live 800kms from the MCG but I understand why some choose not to go. But under 20k was a shock to see.

    I think your logic is sadly askew.

    Didn’t GWS win the game with even less supporters present ?

    And you know what you can do with your whimpy vomit emoji !

    • 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.
