I'm not even emotionally over Tuesday's game yet. Do we need to do it all over again already?

It's feels like I'm 20 years old again and getting sh*tfaced on bourbon and the next day saying I'm never going to do that again.

The AFL was going to make this game a first to 5 goals but realised that may take longer than the normal four quarters the rest of the comp play.

I hope tmac can play. I would risk him along with Hogan and the weed in the forward line with Hogan playing CHF against essenscum. They will then have to put Hooker in the backline. I'd have Garlett (just) with Hannan and Fritsch as the other forwards. They could rest the weed and put Pedo in but I doubt it.

Spargo to debut, according to MFC twitter

Just as an aside, not related to us. 

Oscar McInerney is making his debut for the lions this week. Another ex Casey boy moving up to the AFL

Harmes is very lucky I would think. 


Petracca bitten by a dog!!!

How the FK do Harmes and Nibbler keep their spots!?

No Pedo? If we are going to continue bombing the ball into a vacant forward line  surely we'd be better with him in the team? 

Tmac I hope is picked to take that spot


Bombers have a few out too.

Josh Begley, Tom Bellchambers, Josh Green, David Myers and Michael Hartley are all out with youngsters including Kobe Mutch and Dylan Clarke potential ins.

Harmes is a forward and has kicked one goal!  He should be dropped, done nothing in 5 weeks.

T Mac is in

 

Vince needed to be rested on the short break especially with fellow slow plodding dinosaur Lewis back. Not good.

We will lose this game.

He did lay 9 tackles against Richmond, so not exactly "done nothing".


We've kept both ANB and Harmes. Insane.

We cannot keep giving ANB games because he clocks up big running numbers. We cannot keep giving Harmes games because he tackles. Neither of them do anything else and it's costing us.

Good decision to drop Stretch. We don't need to see another game from him to know he isn't good enough.

Will be interesting to see if we play either of Hannan and Fritsch. I would have included one or both of them for ANB/Harmes. Since we're not dropping either of them, it becomes much harder to see where Hannan/Fritsch slot into the side.

Spargo to debut, according to MFC twitter

WHAT A [censored] JOKE!

PEDO NOT EVEN ON THE BENCH. WELL HIS PAPERS ARE STAMPED HE WON'T BE AROUND NEXT YEAR. IF HE CAN'T GET A GAME WITH HIS FORM HE'LL NEVER GET A GAME.

ANB AND HARMES CONTINUE TO GET A GAME. THE SELECTION COMMITTEE ARE A BUNCH OF MORONS.

Congrats to Spargo, I doubt McDonald will play considering he trained at Casey.

Lucky we are playing Essendon we wouldn't be able to beat another side on paper.

POSSIBLE LINE UP

B: J.WAGNER, O.MCDONALD, JETTA

HB: BRAYSHAW, LEVER, HIBBERD

C : HUNT, OLIVER, SALEM

HF: NEAL-BULLEN, HOGAN, MELKSHAM

F: GARLETT, WEIDEMAN, FRITSCH

FOLL: GAWN, TYSON, JONES

IC: SPARGO, LEWIS, VINCE, HARMES

EMERG: HANNAN

Best of luck to Spargo on his debut. Though small in stature, he's big in fight. I think he can be a good player for us long-term, so excited to see him out there!

We called it on spargo in the changes thread! Some jack higgens youthful type of crumbing spark defintely needed 

Edited by Doodle Dee

Seriously we must be the only club in history unlucky enough to have a player get bitten by a dog, develop an infection so bad it gets into the bone and requires surgery. FML!!!

 

I would have Fitsch, Hannan, tmac and Garlett from the interchange with garlett being on his last song. I see people saying Spargo to play so that 4 maybe not. Harmes lucky to be playing and I would like to know why Lewis is automatically selected as well as Vince.

This might be because the guys who played on Tuesday probably didnt train, and they wanted to get a full session into him

  • 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.
