We can’t continue to carry both Harmes and Melksham, I agree with your ins/outs. 

Disappointed in Harmes so far after reading good reports on him during the off-season. He came back in great shape having shed some kilo’s. 

Doesn’t help he’s been asked to pinch hit in the ruck, from what I recall he injured his shin in the north game doing just that

    Biggest problem with Melksham/Harmes neither have kicked a goal. If we had capitalised on our chances against Hawthorn in 1st quarter it would have been game over same as the Roos yesterday.

    It's taking all of my powers of self-control not to respond to this post in the fashion it deserves.

    Glad to see you’re outraged as well PD

    Where the FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF is the teams?

    I assumed they were going to be released at the normal time of 6.25pm EST. 

    I agreed earlier with GNF’s changes however am tossing up between Weid or Balic being the in. Stretch, Hunt and Tyson being the other ins.

    I think Tim Smith must be seriously in the frame.. i did hear a little whisper late last week.. didn't play Casey.. can anyone clarify if he is in fact injured? 

    Isnt this the game last year that Rance kneed him in the ribs?

    Would have struggled to get a game anyway in my opinion.

    Unless something dramatic happens I can't see him on the list next year.

    I think he will only play now if injuries mean we are desperate for a tall option.

    He got a 2 year contract extension until end of 2019. He ain’t going anywhere

    My guess it:

    In: Stretch, Weids, Tyson, Hunt

    Out: Lewis, Bugg, Frost, one of: Harmes/Melksham

    Makes sense to me.

    Stretch and Hunt for speed. Weeds for a focal point, Tyson for clearances.

    That's an improvement

    I believe it is!  Maybe they want to give him the opportunity of returning the favour...!

    Teams released at 6.25 pm the night before the game when neither team has played for well over a week.

    The AFL is run by retards.

    You mean “persons with intellectual disability” surely.

    Or idiots....

    Dare I ask, but did we tank it last week knowing we had 9 days and 5 days break? Knowing we had the premiers and presumably wanting to hit them hard on a big stage? Or was there enough failure in the forward line and the lack of scoreboard pressure to explain the horrible performance?

    Balic is injured - hammy tightness. 

    I wonder if Stretch is a clear in or designated emergency?

    Frost has been mooted as being dropped

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      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?
