    How do you test a broken jaw?

    I can think of other years

    when barracking for my team

    was everything a younger fan could do

    I could never see finals

    for there were always better rivals

    How can you mend a broken team

    How can you stop the raining goals

    How can what's begun stop declining

     

    What makes this club go round ?

    How can you mend, this broken team

    How do these losers ever win

    please help them mend this broken start

    and let them play again

     

    I can still taste the Bries

    pass the mussels if you'd please

    and a dusty Sangiovese while I cry

     

    we will never watch'em in finals

    been outplayed by better rivals

    how can you mend a broken team

    how do we stop them falling down

    …....

    I see nothing in Hore that screams he will make it. Poor decision if he is in the side.

    So who is the player from Friday not on the plane? Neal-Bullen?

    Hore and Spargo should be nowhere near the AFL side. At least playing Preuss would give Sydney something different to think about.

    They are taking a kid who had a broken jaw two weeks ago. This is way more serious than I thought.

    Spargo is tough as guts but.

    i'd prefer him out there compared to a lot of others.  even for a kid you generally know what you'll get

    Yes I think he must’ve left him out in the first tweet.

    I heard SEN mention all but Preuss as well though.

    Not discussing how tough he is. Surely it takes longer than two weeks to heal a broken jaw. Has the smell of continuing to playing Smith with a injury in a practice match. Oh that's right we did not think it would get any worse. God deliver me.

    Well combined with the issues around lack of fitness due to pre-season factors, it sounds like it would be a quite justifiable one.   

    Hopefully that is offset/mitigated by Sydney's 5 day break.

    Dark cloud over this team. Seem really bereft of confidence.

    Goodys pressers make it seem he isnt quite sure how it all went wrong or how to fix it.

    Would love if we turned it around, but history shows how poor we are against them... and up there its been how long since we won?

    Spargo wont play unless Hunt or Lockhart are a late withdrawal.

    Or if we want to try a three amigos small forward set up.

    Or if he plays in the midfield (which by the way is his natural position).

    He got dropped and then had his jaw broken in his VFL match. He got dropped for a reason and hasn’t had time to rectify the cause of his  dropping and build form to return to AFL level. If he plays, it’s poor decision making by the coaching staff.

    • 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?
