In: Tyson, Garlett, T SmithĀ 

Out: Harmes, Hannan, Pedersen

Vince will be better for the week off. His good games this season havenā€™t gottenĀ the plaudits they deserve and comingĀ up against a much more experienced sideĀ I want him out there.

Jeffy is a bit of a puntĀ but when heā€™s on heā€™s a game changer and this game is all in.

    Did you know at 1.55 a couple weeks back which Melbourne had shown up against the Bulldogs?Ā 

    Or the game v Norf?

    Is this game make or break for us? I just have a feeling we lose, it makes top 8 chances a lot harder. Looking at the run home for clubs like Hawthorn and Collingwood they can easily jump and push us out. So nervous about Friday night.Ā

    It's probably best to settle in with a nice red or single malt (With coke) and read a good book (give Westworld S2 a miss, what a write off) and dart in/out of the AFL app for an update. But then, my constitution is a bit brittle and don't want #2 in utero to sense the reek of utter frustration that barracking for the MFC has caused thus far. Not a good vibe.

    A single malt with coke! Sacrilege you never never ever put anything in single malt.

    I'm very relaxed about Friday's game. I think we have them covered. Only caveat is the umpires. Watch us get Nicholls and Wallace.

    I'd have:
    Petty for Vince - get a genuine CHB in to build the structure around, Vince the defender with the worst form
    Garlett for Hannan - Hannan hasn't nailed the spot so back to flaky Jeff in the hope he can produce
    Tim Smith for Pedersen - the 3 big talls plus Melksham/Petracca makes a top heavy forward line that doesn't tackle enough, the extra mobility/pressure of Smith helps
    Tyson for Spargo - I didn't want to drop Spargs but the extra mid lets us keep Tommy forward and we get versatility with who goes inside/outside/forward. Probably should be Harmes or Petracca dropped but they have greater upside/flexibility. Strengthen our strength which has to be around the ball

    FB: HibberdĀ  Ā OscarĀ  Ā Jetta
    HB: J. SmithĀ  Ā PettyĀ  Ā Salem
    C; TysonĀ  OliverĀ  Ā Fritsch
    HF: ANBĀ  Ā HoganĀ  Petracca
    FF: Melksham T McĀ  Garlett
    Foll: GawnĀ  JonesĀ  Viney
    Int: Lewis, Brayshaw, Harmes, T. Smith

    Your tongue just before you take your first sip.Ā 

    Although I do prefer a little ice.Ā 

    Coke is simply poison never to be consumed. It is wonderful as a cleaning agent.Ā Ā

    I once heard from an old Scot, that it takes a "just a teardrop of water" to bring out the best in a good single malt.Ā  After all these years following our team OD, you'veĀ probably been shedding tears into your scotch, and thoroughly enjoying it,Ā without even knowing quite why.

    id be tempted to throw Vince in the middle and tag wines out of the game.Ā 

    Ā 

    Out: Pedo, HannanĀ 

    In: Frost, Garlett (Frost to play forward as seen in training this week)

    We've matched up very well on Port in the past and also play Adelaide oval very well. It's narrow ground is similar to Etihad, which suits us to a T.Ā 

    Melbourne by 42 points. Go Dees!

    Agreed, since the Hawthorn game (except for the Adelaide game) our first quarters have been deeplorable.

    Ā

    Even though we have won our fair share of them? They haven't been our best quarter, but deplorable is way over the top.Ā

    BTW Chivas is not a single malt. Stick as much coke it as you want. Very strange but... Oh you mean coca cola!

    geez who knew a throwaway line in jest would have so much legs

    I don't care who is in or out. I just want 22 committed, tough, hard at contest players that ALL turn up to play on the one night for each other.Ā We need to get rid of the tag of under achievers, softies when big games are on. The last 2 losses to Magpies hurt big time and don't forget the Hawks and Tigers games.Need to win this and win it well to get monkey off us. Time is now Dees and the leaders must do that and lead.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking?Ā I mean by ā€œtheyā€ 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.Itā€™s no secret that the Demonsā€™ 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.Ā 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 Bryanā€™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 winningĀ 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

      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?
