In: Viney, Hannan

Out: Kent and maybe Tyson. If not Tyson then I think Spargo out. Hannan should play finals. He is very dangerous around the goals.

    I’m a big fan of his but finals is another step up and he really does look tired. Plus physically he will struggle. Hannan is more dangerous playing up forward I think. 

    If Spargo plays I won’t be upset  I just think Hannan is better than him currently

    So Spargo plays if Tyson's not out? Not exactly like-for-like there.

    Lets see how bad Tysons arm is first and which bone it is...  having a plate inserted might get him up for the game.

    Spargo I was leaning towards dropping as he looked cooked in the 1st half,  but we have a full two week break and I liked his second half, and also we may have lost two players.

    I think if Tyson is out they’ll play Trac more in the middle which leaves a hole at half forward which I think Hannan can fill very well. 

    I’m not against playing Spargo at all, but I want Hannan in. If Tyson is ok he will definitely play which makes it hard to fit in Hannan as well given Viney is an automatic in.

    I think Spargo is underrated a little round these parts.  He had a hand in a number of goals today with his crumbing work.  As others have stated, with Kent and Tyson both going out, there is no chance that Spargo doesn't play.

    Chook got it, we won’t go too crazy with the changes I would’ve thought unless someone plays an absolute blinder for Casey. 

    Spargo was much better today though someone needs to talk to him about his set shot routine. He doesn’t take a moment to breathe and relax his body.

    What a great run from vanders to be entrenched in that side. Amazing.

    If Tyson is done then Viney and Hannan.

    JKH survives as he is serviceable and is more use than Bugg.

    Absolutely agree.  He played a really good game and would be considered a lock for the 22 unless injured

    He has 2 weeks to refresh, he played a very good game today. He always provides a contest.

    • 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?
