    In: Wagner.

    Hibberd to play Lever role & Wagner to play Hibberd role.

    **actually who bloody knows

    Precisely, it is a very hard call. Pedo, Frosty, JoelS, Wagner, the bloody works. If these players are all fit, it's Frosty and Wagner, with Pedo on the bench against the Filth, without further change. Rotations will be keys to success. Let us not be intimidated by the Filth and play our game.

    I think we'll be thereabouts at the pointy end of the year but I'm just waiting for us to have that TERRIBLE game. Like for example Richmond's game against St Kilda at Etihad where they got done by almost 100

    Sydney at the G

    Port at AO

    Suns at the G (only half joking)

    Freo at Darwin (lose by 70 pts, Fyfe 100 possessions)

    One thing a few are not discussing is that Collingwood may decide to 'tag' Hibbo (if i was an oppo coach i would to try and stop his run; i.e. Carlton game with Jed Lamb i think trying to get into Hibbo for the first quarter and a bit). So say Collingwood do this, then he probably couldn't play Lever's role (plus i love Hibbo and Jetta as 1v1 kings, but with attacking flair once they win it). Similarly, I'd be putting ANB on that Collingwood wing/backman (Tom Phillips; like hibbo) to stop his damaging run and meters gained.

    Interesting to think about anyway. I'd bring in someone fast and hard, who can repeat gut run at a high intensity to cover any potential fast breaks.

    Do we need another tall defender this week?

    My concern is Collingwood's midfield. The Bulldogs smashed us in clearances which is a huge worry and Collingwood have a better ruckman and midfielders.

    We lost the clearances 26 to 45 today.

    Please no more Pederson or Vince. Tyson needs to come back after his game for Casey. Spargo isn’t quite there yet and Hannan doesn’t do enough. Stretch deserves another go,

    Stretch is NOT up to it I don't care how many good games he plays at Casey

    He panics when pressure is on and that at this level is all over red rover!

    • 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.
