No change...  or will we finally see a player or two rested with a relatively short break on the return from Alice Springs?  

Next weeks games are quite interesting as it will see the top 9 play the bottom 9.

I wonder if this has ever happened before?

I think the top nine played the bottom nine last year after the first round which was very bizarre

No change.  

I know it's a 6 day turn around, but we have a 9 day break after this game leading into the Queen's Birthday clash.  We've won by 200 points over the last fortnight, no need to make changes unless we absolutely have to.


No change unless someone needs a rest. Reward brilliant form. Everyone is playing their role. Go Dees!

No changes based on form, but there's also no extra credit for naming an unchanged side for another week.

The shorter week, the fast pace of todays game, heat and the fact we're back at that [censored] hole Etihad next week might necessitate a few changes. 

 

Agree with all above. Stiil cant get over todays performance, just wow.

The only change is the narrative.  Time to take us seriously.  Cats, Hawks and Tiggers damned happy they played us before the Tsunami started.


I would give Lewis a week off, so fresh for queens bday.  Travel and 6 day break on old legs.  I’d bring in Hunt for leg speed.

When was the last time all/most of us didn’t want any changes to the side?

My how things have changed. 

Its a great feeling.

Also the Doggies played Friday night so they will have a lot of extra rest than us.  

Lighter week on the track. No one will want a rest cause they might not get back in.

After the Brisbane game (against GC), players had to catch a flight, so we’re a bit rushed. Tonight they are in Alice, so will get opportunity to recover more like they normally do after a game before flying tomorrow.

 

The boys will be fine...


Goody might do a shorter main training session this week to get ready for dogs. I think Spargo might be an option for a rest but he deserves to play against the dogs.

 

 

The only change I'd consider assuming everyone pulls up sound is Spargo.  That's not a comment on his form which has been fine, but simply that he's young and might need  rest now that he's had a few games at the top level.  Realistically, you'd think a team that's juts won by those margins in the last two rounds would be untouchable though.  Clearly the mix is right at the moment. 

The team is finally playing as that A TEAM so no changes unless someone pulls up sore.

Our best team performance for the year......LOCK THIS THREAD!!


Given the difference in recovery time we might need to switch a couple, and Tom Mac might need to be managed, but on form you'd have to stay with the group.

Almost impossible to make a case for a change .... NO Change.

Weid and Pedersen back to Williamstown.. almost deja vu save that instead of Hibberd they will have Hunt off the backline.

Next week should be a regulation win if we are the team we wish to become.

 

NO CHANGE

    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?
