    May be Vince for Tyson. I have been a Tyson apologist but he’s lost me. Our worst tonight by a mile. Or JKH if he has a blinder tomorrow

    Vince for Tyson is the only change I’d consider.

    Dumbest post of the year, unless tongue in cheek

    Vince for Tyson. 

    Won't happen though.

    Several years ago when Hawthorn beat Geelong in the Grand Final of 2008, the critics were raving about Cyril’s game in which he had a low number of possessions. Charlie Spargo had only a dozen disposals tonight but it was one of the best games of 12 touches you could get. He kicked 2 goals and was involved in at least three goal assists of which I was aware. His “quiet” game was probably the difference between the sides.

    Spargo plays in WA.

    Can anyone tell me different but I thought Tyson was off the ball playing a defensive role, I didn't see him roll through the middle for any bounce. And we shut down quite a few Hawks players. Burgoyne was exploited tonight, Smith was MIA except for one great cameo that didn't mean anything.

    So no change - I have to say VDB disposal gives me nightmares, but his pressure is huge, am feeling very sorry for some of our fringe players right now.

    Lets see how Brayshaw goes during the week.... that was looking really bad there for  a few seconds.  

    And to top it off he had the free kick paid against him for the privilege of almost having his  neck broken and/or copping a career threatening consussion... FMD.

    They can have the consolation prize of a VFL premiership - it’s ginna happen.

    I think we will go no change but I would subject to how he goes tomorrow I would bring in Joel Smith for Tyson. He wasn't poor but he had limited impact and he is not suited to the outside where he is being forced to play. Fritsch is also better up the ground.

    Said something similar straight after the game. His pressure was first class and the reason he is in ahead of Jeffy.

    Gotta go a bit taller vs West Coast, so I'd say our only chances are J Smith, or a very outside chance of Pedersen. Still would love to see Vince get back in though.

    Why do we need to go taller? Oscar goes to Darling and Frost goes to Kennedy.

    • 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?
