Sorry meant for the Casey game but Iā€™m sure the same will apply

    On the escalator to Level 4 of the Olympic Stand I always admire the old photo of the game's founders, Wills and Harrison. Some serious biceps on Harrison. I bet he lifted.

    Getting your posts in early chook

    Kayo pre- game show (in case anyone missed): what GC have to go to make the finals, and Melbourne are AFL house/ media witches hats.


    A very rare sight on my train. A Gold Coast supporter! I wasnā€™t sure they actually existed

    Feeling good about this one.

    I can't afford Kayo/Fox footy so I can't watch the game. Pretty sure that means we win.

    I'm particularly expecting a whole lot of those small moments of effort and cleverness which turn a game but will never feature in the highlights tapes.

    Today has a Xavier Lindsay vibe.

    Good choice of sub.

    Was calling for this earlier in the week.

    Agreed B B Colin.

    Speaking of marshaling the troops, how does it work with Turner and Jeffo out?

    AJ for Jeffo but who takes Turner's post given Milkshake is only the sub. Perhaps he (JM) will be more full-time because he is the only one that offers any real forward power.

    I think we will see more of Jake that just the sub or at least activated earlier by necessity

    In either case it's a lot to ask from the aging veteran. Showed some scintillating stuff v the Swans in our last 2023 h and a game and several prior.

    Problem being, its two years ago for an already relatively old player. That said if he recaptures any of that form again, it will go a long way to alleviating our fwd line issues for sure.

    No pressure JakeyšŸ˜Š

    And a quick shout out to Jvr and his mate Fritta....pull your fingers out. ..lest a court Marshall approaches. Well at least a good chewing out.

    Ps, Was Disco dropped or injured?

    Thanks BBP.For what it's worth, I find you a pretty good judge of the game so your response would be very much appreciated.

    Is the MCG sound system set high for the hearing impaired?

    We have an entire family of them sitting behind us and Iā€™m genuinely gobsmacked.

    Crowd looks pitiful. May not crack 15k. Get ready for more media bashing this week.

    Lindsay did not look good with that knee šŸ¤¦

    • 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

      Itā€™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 Ā 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 measlyĀ 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?Ā  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.
