* Note: Ave attributes and total players by games is from previous round.  Does not include Ins & Outs for this week.  Rough guide only.

Top 10 Players Last Round Comparison - Score / Rank*

* Apologies to Maxy as comparative score does not account for Maxy's Hit Outs to Advantage, which would no doubt place him easily in the top 10 last week.  However, Ryder is also missing this stat which indicates he was probably in their top 3.

Overall Team Score Comparison (from each team's last encounter)

Power:  70.10^    Demons:  63.46^

Differential:   Demons -6.64

^ includes the Demon "Ins" of Tyson & Tim Smith.  Does not include the power "In" of Jonas.

Statistically the Demons dropped form substantially vs the Pies from the previous week's game (vs the Bulldogs).   The Power are not playing at Collingwood's level but are still tracking marginally better than us on paper.

Adding the usual 4 goal advantage from the umps to Power's scoreline, this one looks on paper (statistically) to be a solid win for the Power.

Pure Stats Predictor:  The Power by 43 points

    Port by 40

    How many times do you reckon Bruce will say the following in tonight’s telecast:

    ”You just get the feeling we’re going to learn a bit about these two sides tonight...don’t you”?

    We can win this if we set the tone early and Port have an off night. If Westhoff and Dixon and Robbie Gray are blitzing it early, then it’s going to be a long night.

    Holy shut the door!  

    2KW bar nice and pricey.... plenty of Dee’s scarfs around but not a single Port bogan in sight. ?

    If it is pricey, explains the absence of Port supporters

    Ouch. That will not be good. 

    Disaster comes to mind


    I'm pretty relaxed and pragmatic.  

    If we're a genuine top 4 team we'll win, as these are the games you have to win to deserve top 4.  And if we lose I'll be comforted by the knowledge we're still a year, or two away.

    Either way I'll learn a lot.

    It feels weird being a friday night and our footy team is playing. Lets hope it sets up a good weekend. 

    No late changes. Starting bench. Melbourne: James Harmes, Mitch Hannan, Bernie Vince, Bayley Fritsch

    I’m tipping Port in a close one 

    would love to be wrong

    Great idea, but don't expect a forthcoming response - it would remain 'eyes only in confidence'. What would the general public know about it? Don't spend dollars on it either. Not worth the inquiry. Just a bit of fun ... perhaps.

    Well, we could always start a totally add free unbiased one, maybe even sponsored.............

    Following this from the Greek isles. Will be midway between Alonnisos and Skopelos. Pretty sure the ferry has wi-fi. Previous years have not gone well for us when I've followed from afar. Better performance this time hopefully. Black arm bands?

    Gutsy, but why not?

    Wife sees me cooking dinner with a bourbon instead of a beer and gives me the "ill go in the other room and let you scream at the tv after dinner" look.

     

    Poor partners of demon supporters.

    My confidence has grown through the week. Thought Garlett would be in. Smith worries me as this is s massive game and I would of gone with Garlett, Weideman and kept Spargo. Would of dropped Hannan/Harmes for Tyson and played Jones on the wing. 

    Dees by 26

    I would have gone Pedo, Frosty, Garlett, JSmith in, TSmith not in, Petty plus Baker, drop Vince and Lewis, keep Spago to shirtfront Westhoff. No arguments.

    To be followed by Ling with 'Yeah exactly right Bruce!' His BT version is a good one also.

    • 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?
