I think these are good sound decisions so far.

I will be interested to see how we are looking to cover the ruck situation and if we structure the list to cover the position in the short to medium term. Getting Preuss would make life easier for next season and I could see us looking at a couple of young possible rucks to develop.

    The two talls just didn’t get lift off at VFL level and Pat McKenna was unlucky with injury but it’s difficult to persist with players who don’t show signs of advancing after four years in the system.

    I’m looking forward to see what our recruiters can achieve given the limited draft position we are currently in.

    Have heard that JKH and Tim Smith have signed new 1 year deals and Keilty elevated to the senior list.

    Heard anything on Dion Johnstone DD?

    I liked the analogy someone used last week along the lines of if you would not select them in the draft knowing what we know now let them go.

    Pedo has been a great servant, I hope he is picked up by Casey and Tommy never got back from his brain fade; a real pity for him but he may well wind up at the Blues

    AVB and JKH are surely getting new deals. Kent might want to leave. 

    Would not offer JKH a contract at all Not up to it Kent … well tenuously hanging on and injury prone!! . Not unhappy if both go!

    AVB Keeper!

    • 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.
