    Are we allowed to forfeit and save money on airfares etc?

    The way I see it, they owe us for giving them a soft training run in the PF, keeping them fresh enough to overrun the filth in the Granny

    Keilty, Omac, Jeffy and if we are gonna call a spade a spade Tracca and Gus deserve to be dropped.

    Pray for undermanned back to wall effort next week - same as Daniher era

                Wise

                B. Hill

    then we could justify calling our team a bloody joke.

    So Lewis will definitely miss, yes? Who played well at casey today? 

    Preuss must come back in obviously someone needs to replace hibbard. So next week we are relying on Oscar and frosty to stop Kennedy & Daring? Great.

    Keilty most likely to go for Preuss. Omac should be but who replaces him. I’d keep Garlett in. He’s getting to the right spots, he’s just fumbling at the moment. He’ll find some touch. Trac was our most dangerous forward tonight. Won most if not all one on ones when the ball is on the ground. And gus, he’ll b right.

    Out: Hibbo, Keilty, Lewis (he re injured himself in the last)

    In: Preuss, ANB, whoever played well for Casey (didn’t watch the game as was out for mother’s day)  

    I pray Melksham will be fine, but it’s a short break and a long trip so I’m not holding my breath. 

    I assume Fritsch will go back to defense to cover Hibbo. Preuss direct replacement for Keilty.

    Gus hasn’t played this bad since 2017. Deserves another week given we have players in the side who haven’t played well since 1978 and still manage to get games.

    Out: Hibberd, maybe Melk, Lewis, Garlett, Keilty. 

    In: Preuss (Keilty), T Smith (Melk), ANB (Jeff), Jordon (Hibberd), C Wagner (Lewis).

    My guess is they keep Lewis and Garlett despite the damage they must be doing to team culture with continued weak efforts.

    Simply is not going to happen, the coaching panel do not react in the same way as  supporters, and thankfully they don't

    Hibberd, Melksham and Lewis are almost certain to miss.  You would think Kielty is out in favour of Preuss as well. 

    Given West Coasts tall forwards, I wonder if we might see Petty come back in.  He was emergency today and has been playing well. 

    Given Spargo was sitting out today as an emergency as well, I suspect he comes in.  That leaves one. 

    ANB seems likely as the player with runs on the board, but I would really like to see them take a risk and give Baker a shot.  He's more risk/reward.  He can hit the scoreboard, but won't do the grinding work and assists that ANB provides.

    What you mean they don't put the beer down and dribble [censored] all over their keyboards

    Awful game, both sides trying not to lose, but we got the 4 points

    Coaches will review and make changes if necessary

    We have few players to come in, but will likely need to find replacement for Hibberd, Melksham, and Lewis at a minimum 

    We need Preuss in, obviously, but with our injuries will Keilty be dropped for him?

    I’ll guess...

    IN: Preuss, ANB, Baker, C Wagner
    OUT: Kielty, Hibberd, Melksham, Lewis

    As I recall, nobody played well in 1978 ?

    • 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.
