    Intercept marking, run and carry 3rd Tall, Pin Point Precision kicking we dont even have no one like that to replace Hibbo . Massive blow. 

    Jonesy same injury last year, 6 weeks out thats nearly season over.

    Viney, Hibberd and Lever FMD. Probably 3 of our most important 10 out for most of the massive games we have coming up to get to the finals. We're officially hard up against it now. Multiple Injuries happening now at the most crucial time of the season. The footy gods hate us Im sure. Jeez he's a big out. 

    So...smith comes in for Hibberd and probably Tyson comes in also. Sigh. We're going backwards.

    His kicking last week was atrocious. I wonder if there is a connection.

    Unless your Richmond, multiple injuries will always catch up on a side, whether it be at the start, middle or end.

    Lever AND Hibberd?

    Not having as super a year as last year, but second for metres gained at MFC. Huge out and no real replacement. Plenty of defenders but none with his class.

    I'd bring in Wagner. It is a risk but what else can we do.

    Tough to replace but would hurt even more if it was the Hibbo of last season. His form hasn’t been  amazing. One soldier out etc. There’s only two players whose injuries would mean season over. I won’t say their names because at this point I wouldn’t dare.

    T Mac has spending a little more time in defence of late. That might increase even further with this out.

    Yes, probably best you don’t mention Gawn or Oliver ?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      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?
