I said it early in the week that this is the best side we have had since '98.

We are currently 5th and I truly believe we can go all the way with this side.

Hannan saved himself in the last quarter I thought he done nothing for 3 quarters.

IN: VINEY OUT: WEIDEMAN

    In -      Viney

    Out -   Vince (rest)

    I like the Weid in the team. hes taking a key defender and allowing T Mac and Hogan to wreak havoc.

    Can't see them switching a tall for a mid, Weid has allowed TMac and Hogan to roam while keeping some structure in the forward line. I think it's really helped with some of the mismatches that occurred in the last. 

    I'm in the Vince out for a rest, Viney in camp.

    A good response from Harmes - he knew.

    ANB similar but Viney is a clear upgrade for mine.

    In: Viney

    Out: Neal- Bullen

    I think the Weide isn't needed T.Mac can play second ruck and Gawn can play more forward.

    I am also in the Tyson for Viney, but resting Vince could be an option.

    I think it’s there only option.  

    Goodwin talked up the Weed after the game and Viney won’t play ANB’s half forward role. 

    Tyson is an inside mid who has not been overly effective and still makes lots of mistakes

    There's another option - give Viney another week. Why not? I'd rather err on the super cautious side.

    I’d rather he come back to condition himself against Carlton at the G than against Adelaide in Alice Springs.

    I think Goody said at the end of his presser that Viney would play next week.

    Tyson hasn't been playing as an inside mid though, he played more as a defensive sweeper/mid today and I thought he was in our best half dozen in the first half, was much quieter in the second half but the ball barely went down there.

    I think Vince is more of a chance to get dropped than Tyson. 

    Age is catching up with him.

    After watching Goody's presser I think the Weid stays but Vince is in trouble, I would like to see Tyson stay I like him as a footballer.

    I think the Weide isn't needed T.Mac can play second ruck and Gawn can play more forward.

    That is just completely bizarre. Not only has tmac just come back from an injured foot but is playing well in the forward line while sometimes wandering out to the wing area. Gawn can play forward more is nonsensical because he is the best ruckman in the side so why play him forward more with tmac rucking ??????? I just don't get your argument.

    Settle down.

    OK I think the Weid stays I just know that T.Mac can play well as a second ruck and Gawn can play well as a second forward. The Weid hasn't grasped the second forward role yet but he has been quite good as the second ruck.

    Viney will get 50 disposals that's how much he is above VFL level. Viney will be in next week the coach said so.

    Even as an armchair coach it's hard to predict who will make way for Viney.

    Let's be real, you are pretty stiff to get dropped after an 11 goal win. If Viney wasn't out there wouldn't be changes next week.

    Happy with the current team, but Viney has to come back in.

    • 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?
