    This is the team we should run with

    B. Tapscott. Rivers. Martin

    HB. Strauss. Garland Blease

    C. Bail. Trengove. Gysberts

    HF. Cook. Dunn. Petterd

    F. Green. Watts. Maric

    FOLL. Spencer. Moloney. Scully

    I/C. Jones. Howe. Bennell. Nicholson. Jetta. Evans

    Tapscott can share the kickins with Strauss. Blease to create run out of back line. Gysberts to provide extra skill in midfield

    Petterd to assist with defensive pressure in fed line.

    Hopefully the last practice match we get a stronger opponent, wouldn't mind a hitout against a Carlton or Hawthorn...

    Uhh... guys, they may be in the stink at the moment but Brisbane are still an AFL side.

    lol, nah.

    Then again, who cares, play the kids and anyone who needs a bit of conditioning.

    If we lose, well, that just proves pre-season isn't worth a sneeze, and we'll see them again in, when is it, round three?

    That's when I'd be looking for the killing. :)

    Whilst it would be nice to give as many kids a run as possible, it has to be within reason. We do want most of our best 21/2 out there to develop the synergy and continuity that comes with a settled side. Obviously some guys need a freshener and some guys deserve a chance to press a claim for round 1 selection. But the extended interchange bench and 3or 4 rested players provides enough scope for that. Whilst I'd love to see Blease, Tapscott, Wonna, Petterd, Gysberts et al., all have all been in the rehab group quite recently and might be best started back at Casey in their pre-season practice games, which likely start this weekend. There they can be nursed through and find their feet. Either way I'm not too fussed which direction we go, but I think we'll see most players who played last Thursday back on the park.

    BTW, anyone know about Garland's calf? Sorry if that has been posted elsewhere.

    The club would have a targeted game time per player for preseason, our key players don't need 4 games leading into the season. You will not see Green, Sylvia, Jurrah, Davey, Jamar, Rivers, Garland, Trengove and Grimes expect Watts and Moloney to be subbed of at Half time. These guys only need 1 more run before the season starts it is a very long year you need to manage your players.

    Whats parking like at Visy Park?

    There i susually no parking withing the park grounds. Given we are playing an interstate side you should be able to find a park in the surrounding streets. Be prepared for a slight walk depending on what time you arrive and look out for parking limit/permit signage.

    one of the traditions of going to games there when it was still an AFL ground would be the walk back to your car and seeing every single car having a fine on the windshield, nice little earner for the council it was

    I parked in the ground last year against the bombers, cost about $5, but it was pretty limited

    At the very least, you could be right with Syliva. Tweeted that he has a cold or flu or something:

    "Not feeling the best, just grabbed some panadol & vitamin c tablets. Any suggestions!?? Laying on the couch hope I can shake it..."

    • 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?
