Just heard on 3aw James is out for 4 weeks. Im guessing with the bye he will miss only 3 games. But geez he is going to be a massive loss next week with Cloke and Lynch up there. Lynch not as much but he would have been great on Cloke.

Bloody hell. Is there any chance our good players can stay on the park.

    Most last year probably would have said Frawley, Clark, Grimes and T-Mac were in our top 5 players with Jones. There's alot of truth in its not the number of injuries but who they're to. Would nice at least at some stage in the second half of the year to get our best 18 on the park together.

    Bloody hell..........it is all Neeld's fault of course, surely. Or Jack Watts.

    Surely a dual conspiracy!

    It would be interesting to hear the views of posters on how they suggest we try to deal with Cloke next week. What can we do?

    It would be especially good to see the suggestions from anti-Neeld posters who will probably blame Neeld for forgetting to clone Frawley when Cloke kicks 10 goals.

    So options?

    McDonald - underdone and out of form

    Sellar - can match Cloke one-on-one but will killed if he goes for a run

    Davis - we haven't seen him yet but you'd think Cloke will be to strong

  • Quote

    I love Davis' effort from the couple Casey games I have seen but this match up will be some-what reminiscent of Zac Dawson playing on Ant Rocca... we all remember how that ended up.

    Cloke is a beast and can chop up the best when he gets his mojo up. He man handles Chip at times.

    I don't mind Sellar as he is a tryer but that's really it. Still he is our only option and I squirm while writing that

    And the good news keeps coming

    DemonOX that is one of the more disturbing avatars, it's freaks me out a little.

    I suppose that's the reward for doing a steller job on buddy. Sucks that he'll be missing for games that we'd classify as in the winnable zone. Not to mention Cloke next week.

    Gorgoroth, I have never been a good looking rooster so no point in hiding it!

    It is what it is!

    Options for mine are:

    Garland: Our most in form defender. but has shown when matched up against Kennedy in Round 3 that he struggles against the giant forwards.

    Sellar: Will get burned when Cloke gets on his bike

    Pedersen: Probably gets first crack. Has the height, build and agility to do it. Skill level is the question?

    Davis: Would be setting the poor kid up to fail.

    Tom McDonald: You'd think would require a week at Casey.

    Joel MacDonald:Towled Cloke up in Round 2, 2010 and certainly has the agility and physical agression to go with Cloke. Due to the size difference though you'd need to heavily rely on the like of Garland & Dunn to peel off their men and help Joel out. I reckon he would be worth a look.

    If rumours are to be believed, we may have to learn to play without him there.

    This is an opportunity for someone to put their hsnd up and demonstrate that they're the man for the job.

    Oh well - one can dream

    They should use this month of free time to convince him to sign a contract extension and stop him leaving under free agency next year.

    • 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.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
