Why didn't KK play? was he injured?

Precautionary due to concussion-like symptoms.

    A bye next week ..... that's downright amateurish.  How are AFL players supposed to build continuity, gain match fitness, work into form?   Jeffry needs (maybe) one more run to be AFL ready, and instead he's watching on. Grrrr!

    If the AFL were serious, they could find some money to properly fund their Victorian feeder competition.

    It really compromises the quality and integrity of the competition.

    I wonder If Petty will get a go in the next two weeks... with only 4 days between our Saints game and the ANZAC Eve game v Tigers.

    I think we will see a shuffle of players between the two games,  to try to maintain fresh legs, and strong running.

     

    I think Goody said OMc was concussed last game ?

     

    I wonder which of these two opposition teams Petty would matchup on best, for us ?

    It would be a huge challenge for Harrison to play his second game vs Saints, after his poorly planned and very poorly managed debut last year.

    It could go either way - almost make or break.

    IF he played and had a solid game it could be the making of him; another bath could really hit his (and the club's and the fans') confidence.

    I would very much doubt (I hope) that the club would go into the game overconfident as they appeared to last year.

    They went this route with Weide... played him a couple of games each season,  until he was ready to perform.

    • 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?
