Wrong on Trac, Hib andĀ  Viney IMO. McClure (ABC radio) big rapts on Hib. I agreed.

Winning is good

 

Lever - will be missed

Didn't see myself saying this after rounds 1-4, but here we are pondering the rest of 2018 without Jake the Snake. There is now a big hole back there, and Tmac is worth more forward.Ā 

Ā 

Slightly harsh on Trac, who I thought played his best game since he hurt his finger.Ā  He had over 20 touches and kicked a goal as well which is a positive return to form.

Agree with the rest.

Salem is outstanding at picking when to expose himself to the possibility of his direct opponent getting a cheap one over the back by getting to a contest to provide help. Has excellent timing and contests well.

Jetta played as well as I've seen from him today.

I thought Gawn got clear hands to a ton of balls but we don't quite maximise that with enough clean clearances. Not sure how the stats bear out but that's how it felt today. If we could maximise this area we may become consistently very hard to beat.

In the spirit of trying to rationalize levers loss i have gone over joeboys above list which i thinl is a great summary of all snd counted 15 names i would be equally devastated to lose. Once upon a time that numbet might have been 5 ish.

If goodwin can fill tjis loss adequately recognising levers value may not be replicated i think the fundamentals are still sound.Ā 

Q B will tell us.

  • 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

    Itā€™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 Ā 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 measlyĀ 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?Ā  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.
