Kolt definitely back this weekend

X has to pass a fitness test on Thursday but is confident for a return this weekend

Jeffo also confident for this weekend but that means jack coz he said the same thing last week.

Koz not here. He’s not injured or ill, he’s got a family thing.

    Surely he plays a game at Casey first? It would be irresponsible to subject him to the firsts.

    Didn’t deter SG from playing Spargo without a game for a year. 🤬🤬

    I’m starting to warm to this year once we have young McVee, Kolt, Lindsay, Windsor, Chandler and Langford all paying together and to a lesser degree Henderson, Culley and Sharp learning the game

    Hope Jai Culley is doing well?

    Tell him we look forward to him earning a spot in the AFL side when he is ready.

    Please also tell Christian Petracca that we love him and total understand his anger and frustration! We all hate losing! ❤️💙

    Hope Max Gawn is going ok too? He had a lot of scratches on his shoulders (from photos I saw) from the Geelong players. It seems their (claws) fingernails are as long as cats?! 🐱🐈

    Interesting to put Chandler in the same sentence as the 5 others mentioned considering he’s 25.

    Yeah, I’d be surprised to see Kolt straight back into the firsts. Actually, not surprised but definitely concerned.

    Did they have oval balls at training or still soccer balls?

    Personally would not mind a session involving concrete bags, mouthguards, grappling, 100 x 100s and to mend all wounds, Storytime with Goodwin reading "The I Love You Book"

    I did tell Tracc we love him. He clearly thought I said I love you because he answered I love you too. 😅

    I also told Goody we love him. Now calm down you lot, you can think a coach needs to be replaced and still love him if for nothing other than he’s our premiership coach.

    Sombre feel down at Gosch's, some thrills as Max smoothers small players under him.

    Gathered with kick to kick, on the whistle ran warm up and team runs.

    Soccer, then goal kicking.

    McVee ready, Windsor good,

    Melky wearing number 8, with Petracca, on the outside of the soccer game.

    Lindsay working the resistance bands, Campbell with rehab.

    Goody talking to Laurie.

    Mentha wants a run. Tholstrup looks ready.

    Cutting the 4 o'clock deadline fine Kev. To be honest I'm not sure I care right now.

    He’s giving his all, just finding his feet so threw him in but get your point.

    A little sombre today, but that might’ve been because as they were coming across to the oval huge dark clouds appeared and it felt like the temperature had plummeted.

    The boys thoroughly enjoyed a… (defibs on the ready?)… soccer match. Yep, a raucous and fun time was had with the round ball.

    • 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.
