    Just listening to Jade Rawlings on SEN, and he mentioned the new recruits who’ll be stepping out for Casey on Sunday. If I heard correctly Tom Sparrow’s name wasn’t one of them, suggesting he’ll play against Port. 

    Or Twig had a moment of forgetfulness...

    I'd say it's an oversight.  From what I've seen Sparrow is a mile off.

    What a silly comparison. 

    Maybe too difficult for you to understand.

    Risk mitigation is very complex and a risk assessment that doesn’t work out, doesn’t mean the decision was wrong. 

    Lots of people thought Brayshaw should not have played again and he has since come 3rd in the Brownlow. The club assessed the risk and decided it would be safe for him to play on. At this stage it looks a wise decision.

    If he copped a freak knock to the head that ended his career people like you would look at the outcome and decide we got it wrong rather than the process which we seem to have got right.

    Absolutely agree dl4e

    Will crumb and has goal sense !

    Then again, Lewis has great goal sense too, and is a great, canny snapper at the big ones. Ten minutes in the deep forward may refresh these skills

    Corey Wagner set to make his debut for Melbourne on Saturday. Was de-listed by North then spent a year in the VFL and making coffees on Swan St.

    Corey wagner to debut

    I don't mind this, Has some flaws, but hits packs front and centre at pace. Did it 4/5 times in the Casey/Brisbane game. He fumbled a couple of times but getting that timing right is a rare skill. We've missed having someone with that skill since Garlett was dropped last year

    Awesome to see Corey getting a go.

    how good is it too see boys come from the VFL into the big time. We’ve got Fritsch, Wagner, Hore, Keilty as an emergency, Hibberd originally VFL as well. Good stuff.

    Seems counter productive listing an injured player as an emergency

    Really interested to see whether Salem is on the wing in actuality. Would love to see but I do not see a perfect replacement.

    And once again, a huge vote of confidence for Hunt, or what he brings is seen as so important and different to what we have in the team that he is given every opportunity.

    Billy Stretch is on the outer - career under threat 

    Agree Chook.....doesn't seem to be one of Goodwin's fav's & hard to improve & develop when the coach won't back ya.

    Don't reckon Billy's had a good block of games since Roosey left, although I may be wrong.

    Probably because he unfortunately just doesn’t look quite an afl-level midfielder, which is really the only position he can play

    J Smith and Preuss not best 22.

    Hannan 50/50

    Even Vanders is borderline

    Might be gilding the lille a bit there 'norm'

    Seems to have lost confidence especially with his disposal. It won’t help not even being an emergency and Corey Wagner being picked ahead of him. I feel sorry for him because apparently he is a super-professional trainer and a really good person.

    Good to see Marty Hore will debut on Saturday. Met him at the Family day. A very personable young man, and handsome too. His photographs don't do him justice. I'm predicting he will become a fan favourite very soon. (Hope he plays well!)

    If our recent VFL recruits in Hannan and Fritsch are any indication, I'm excited to see what Hore and Wags 2.0 can provide to the team.  

    Congratulations to them both!

    • 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?
