He’ll go to Mitchell. I think Neal-Bullen will go to Isaac Smith 

He did a great job on a similar player in Lachie Whitfield

Someone has to take Smith...

Harmes has the weapons to do it, not sure who else.

...or stop his supply?

Smith just put a target on himself when interviewed and asked about the Demons pressure..

”I reckon we’re alright at pressure ourselves, maybe you should be asking Melbourne that.”

That is licence to shitmix him.

Nothing like a back-handed compliment!  LOL

That sounds more like Rod Grinter style, Bazz

vandenBerg on Smith for me.  He has far better pace than given credit for round these parts, he has a great tank, he's the same height, and he can absolutely physically work him over.

vandenberg confirmed this morning on SEN that Goody had him playing wing due to his tank and let's face it Smith will only get to use his elite speed on a handful of times and not at all if he's constantly under pressure.

I may be wrong, but I could see a vandenBerg matchup.

Forgot about Vanders & if Smith has been making a d...target of himself then Vanders is just the man to accommodate him...


We shut Mitchell down in Round 4 and lost by 11 goals.

Mitchell gets a tonne of it but the damage O'Meara, Gunston, Smith, Breust and even Shiels can do is far worse IMO.

Vanders has an excellent sense of timing for his body pressure, have been pleasantly surprised how few frees he gives away, (I love Bernie, but he has been a tad slow and more likely to give a free away in the same type of play). I think Smith would merde himself a bit, AVB for the job.

I could also see Vandenberg doing a job on Sicily. Will be interesting to see how they line up.

This. ANB is the only one with the tank to follow Smith.


Surely by this stage, the question needs to be asked the other way around.

Who will Hawthorn try to stop?

Viney? Oliver? Brayshaw?

Seriously who do you tag if you're the Hawks?

Looking at form over the last few weeks, they should be looking to curtail OUR stars, not the other way around.

I am quite bullish about this game. The way we've gone about it the last few weeks has been tough and brutal.

    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.

    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.
