I have no idea what to expect today after last year and the subsequent aftermath. 
 

We have no idea how the Debutants will perform in the heat of battle, The draw now is just a dogs breakfast, will GW$ be better for the run??

I am so angry that teams begin on different weeks!!

Look ‘em in the eyes Max

100 minutes of 100% Commitment

    Suspect Clarry and his protege Harvey will be like two pigs in [censored] today

    Get the hard ball and bang it long!

    Expect Maxy to punch from the ruck too

    Like to see our forwards straight-line it to space, giving Clarry, Tracca and coy something to stab at with the smalls in support and hungry.

    Lousy situation, but a bloody good replacement with a big heart and required talents.

    Harvey Langford sub

    Hate this. Let debutants get out there and have the proper experience and show of confidence.

    Sucks May is injured by TMac is a superb replacement.

    Understand the logic of prioritising Henderson over Langford as Pickett's missing but still surprised! 

    TMac’s a perfect replacement but our chances take a hit with May missing. 

    How did he get a fractured larynx? How have we had two of those in 3 months?

    Edit: club has said it was a knock at training on Friday, but it’s not currently thought to be as bad as Gawn’s.

    hate debutants being the subs

    hate that may will miss a significant chunk of the season as a result of a fractured larynx

    when was the last time a team had TWO players with that injury??

    Langford sub is a huge surprise as these conditions would suit him.

    Really thought Hendersen would've been given the green vest.

    Many clubs have been decimated with pre season injuries. WTF is going on with the system?

    Anyone one have any insight on when the May injury happened? Surely not at the Captain's run

    • 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.
