Well at least tonight we wont have the constant momentum killer in ANB butchering the absolute basics of the game.... I don't know what to expect tonight after "circling up"- One things for sure Sydney have been pretty bad at home the last two seasons... They haven't looked great this year either, hell if we were blessed with playing the blues in the first 3 rounds we too would have a win on the board... I'll say we will win, but with zero confidence at all. 

 

We might. He's an emergency and there's a doubt about T Mac playing. Could ANB be the one who comes in as a late change? One thing's for sure, if that happens, be ready for some apoplexy on Demonland. 

For what it's worth, given the other emergencies are Spargo, Hore and Petty, I would have thought ANB would be the logical replacement for T Mac because it replaces like-for-like in running capability. I can't see how any of the other emergencies make sense as a replacement for T Mac. Not sure ANB makes a lot of sense, either, but at least having a player with the a tank to run hard all game would be maintained.

    Honestly would rather play with 21.... 

     

    Really cant see TMac playing the way he was limping the next day after last week. Very short turnaround.

    Spargo could be better 

    Spargo for mine, key forwards Preuss and Weideman, at least Spargo will have a crack.

    Yeah, they need a bit of a hand..

    I honestly think we have a chance tonight. Swans coming off a slightly lesser break plus their older guys likes of Buddy, Kennedy and Reid will struggle to come up. In addition their ins are a 1st gamer and Jack who is slower than Jones! I am hoping this is so.

    Speaking of Kennedy, we need to take a line from his Grand Father and JUST DO IT.

    I have three tickets to the game tonight spare after a family illness.

    They are located in Section 3 of the O'Reilly Stand, Row X, Seats 54, 55, 56. We will be sitting in Seats 52 and 53.

    This is a great location at the SCG to watch football.

    If anyone wants them at half price ($35) then please send me a direct message today and we can arrange to meet at Gate F tonight or I can send them to your mobile number.

    best wishes

    bill

    Nice gesture

    I hope they get well soon and Dees get up and get the job done for them (and me)

    Spargo is fairly good with the ball in congestion, a quick mind,  he can find targets inside F50, with his vision.

    I think a Demon side with Stretch, Spargo and Lockhart in it,  is getting closer to better balance.

    Judging by the post on the MFC facebook page Tmac will play....

    Great,as long as he isnt restricted like he clearly was last week.   Hes an option to play on Buddy too.  Maybe Frost starts on him and t Mac can move there if Buddy starts to dominate.

    The closer we get to game time the more confident I am of winning.  ?

    I'd love to see a statistic like: fumbles to an opposition player.

    Seems like he constantly fails to grasp the ball in contests, and when he does it he inevitably knocks it to an opposing player who bursts away from the stoppage.

    His absence will do wonders in my view.

    Doesn't surprise me.

    Most players get up the following week with non-serious ankle injuries


    Which one of Oscar or Frost will be given the task of gifting Buddy 8 of the most basic skill error goals tonight?

    Watch Buddy & Reid kick 10 between them and Kennedy get 35.

    Onfield, we have some lines that are very near being the best in the whole League. Have we lost this match against the Swans before we even step onto the ground?

    Yes.

    I will be amazed if the Swans don’t go rampant tonight on their home deck. 

    Essendrug are a shiit team and they kicked 8 unanswered last week, after we had taken the lead, thinking the job was done. 

    How many times have i witnessed that over many years

    The Circle ⭕️ of truth will not be enough when the coach persists with a gameplan that has been punctured and picked apart.

    And lay zero tackles again? The sooner Garlett returns the better.


    Expecting Sydney to win by about 20 points. Only 20 points as they have trouble scoring in general, just not as much trouble as us!

    Jetta a late withdrawl - no reason given. ?  He hasn't looked right all year so better to let him recover than risk whatever it is getting worse. 

    Hore to replace him.

    Grateful that it is Hore not ANB to replace Jetts

    Marvee ?

     

    I take it most of the posters on here,  who have made disparaging or derogatory remarks about the team and individual players,  wont we watching or attending the game? I mean what's the point

    • 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.
