It doesn’t matter, we will get flogged

Yep we will, and with a short break we play bummers at Etihad.  Every chance we will have lost 3 in a row after that.  This club, this team never take their chances, and as such will forever be media fodder.  OUT MelkSHAM, he has done nothing.

    A pair of thongs?

    If I sold them I could probably pay for Clarkson to come coach Melbourne.

    I agree, but sadly I don't think the FD will be brave enough to drop Lewis, but it would send the right sort of message Goodwin wants the players to bring in terms of non-negotiables.

    Well they can just invent an injury for him - calf will do!

    Out: Bugg, Harmes and Wagner (Lewis and Melksham on thin ice).

     

    Jack Viney on one leg would be than half of those that played today!

    Jesus H Christ, based on what I saw today I can't see any changes making a meaningful impact against the Tiges

    not a silly comment in the sense that perhaps we need to acknowledge that they are a superior side at this stage and play a defensive style.

    If we go head to head with the current game plan it is a low percentage strategy.

    As to the ins and outs I tend to agree with Dee Spencer but as many have said you could make a case for the majority of today's 22 to be dropped.

    Tyson has to come in, as he is one of our ball winners.

    our game plan needs speed in the backline so Hunts in

    it also needs speed on the wing so Stretch in

    our pressure in the forwards is lacking so Hannan comes in

    we need a second ruck so Peders is needed

    We are really missing Tmac

    Hannan Hogan Fritsh

    Petrac Peders ANB

    Stretch Jones Vince

    Hunt Lever Salem

    Jetta Omac Hibberd

    Gawn Oliver Tyson

    Kent Brayshaw Lewis Wagner (though I would give serious consideration to Bugg tagging Dusty)

    In. Pedo, perhaps Hunt, or Tyson

    out.  Not sure

    Did not see enough, but we need fresh legs.  

    Leave weideman to learn his craft

    and pick players for the conditions expected

    Go Dees !!

    wow ... now that could be worth paying money to see... I suspect we would not see Bugg for the next 6 weeks or so afterwards due to suspension

    Hunt to replace Lever as a running back.

    Yep about right time to send a Giant WAKE UP MESSAGE! Pedo instead of Maynard

    Plenty of players in the gun after that one.

    Two players should come in - one being Tyson, the other being (hopefully) Weideman to play as the second tall and to give Max a proper chop out in the ruck.

    Who goes out?  Take your pick of Harmes, Wagner, Bugg, Fritsch and probably Melksham.  I can't see Goody making huge changes, but it also wouldn't surprise to see 3 or 4 changes.  I'd expect Hunt, Stretch and Hannan to possibly get a look in as well.

    Out: Harmes, Lewis, Bugg

     

    Harmes is hard but plays like a headless chook. Continually smashes into team mates trying to win the ball and negatively impacts us. Tyson is a clear upgrade with his clean hands in close and a lot better footballer.

    Bugg is similar and continually hurts with a poor conversion. Hannan adds as much with pressure but is more accurate. I think the spell in the twos might be good for Hannan so he knows the 100% commitment he has to give for the 4 quarters.

    Lewis was awful again. Slow, unskilled and provided minimal rebound and no defensive efforts. Hunt to come in and will stay in. We will need his pace and his energy. Lewis needs to earn his super payments. No one deserves a free ride

    Outs Harmes ( How on earth did he get Norm Smiths number? Absolutely no tricks, slow and embarrassing)  Melksham ( another trier without pace and skill set) Lewis ( looked liked he was helping for his old club) Bugg,  midfield absolutely B grade. Oliver excluded.

    Richmond’s small forwards will be far too quick and dangerous for us.

     

    Prediction: 100 point slaughter of dees.

    Perhaps?

    Yes he’s had a quiet start, [censored], I would have played him today, he would have kept up with O’Meara at least. He’s a certainty next week.

    Edit: Wasn’t aware F a r k is a bad word.

    • 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?
