They only have one tall. I assume frost gets Mihocek. May to Elliott. Omac is surely surplus to needs this week. Hire hopefully late in for Omac. Although I suspect Lever a chance to miss.

    Winnable game may be lost at selection. I hope not, it would be great to beat Collingwood as they run to the finals.

    Stupid decision not to play Hore, as it was last week. You have to ask - what the F... is going on?

    Ok so Oscar gets a game in front of HORE

    Whos has been very good to outstanding in most of his games

    CLUB IS A BASKET CASE

    And yet people get called all sorts of things when you criticize the Club here. I just assume they do not realise you can love the jumper, the team and the player and at the same time hve little or no respect for the Club based on 55 years of failure and mismanagement

    You can’t build a players trade worth playing them in the twos...

    I wonder if they'll try Wills (a mid) up fwd - 192cm

    Magden also 192. a defender they might play fwd as they have Roughhead, Scharenberg and Howe down back

    So I reckon O Mac will take one of those 2 donkeys.  talk about your mouth watering match ups!

    Easy peasy!  We are going all out for a Casey finals berth.

    Hore helps Casey's cause!

    but ..........................!

    The only reasonable explanation I can think of for OMac getting a game along with Frost, Lever and May is that one of them is going to play forward/ruck.

    That does not sit well with me.

    Hore should be playing, OMac shouldn't, and we should still be able to find someone to relieve Gawn.

    I'd argue playing the individual in question is harming his trade value.

    Given the weather forecast, Collingwood’s form and our form the clubs bottom line is going to take a massive hit tomorrow hard to see more than 35,000 there. As we seemed to have learned nothing this year and wet weather footy on the cards I am predicting another easy loss coming up.

    Are we trying to have the slowest and oldest wingers in the comp - maybe ever?

    Hopefully Hore will be a late in. This is a huge opportunity for our mob to show they can play wet weather football. In the wet it becomes a commitment game. This is not coming as a second half surprise. We all know what it's going to be like. In some senses the wet is a leveller. The game is not as quick although skills still count (gulp!) as Richmond showed last week. Bring the right attitude and we could surprise. 

    Hallelujah! I still believe!

    May, Lever, OMac and Frost all named against a short Collingwood forward line, in the wet. Surely there'll be at least one late change?

    My guess is May will play forward and Hore in for OMac.

    I legit cannot in the world find a simple Match up for McDonald.  

    The only reason I can think of is that we are now officially tanking for Noah Anderson. 

    It's an absolute joke that Omac continues to get a game. Yet to find a supporter who thinks he deserves hit spot.

    Then you have the problem as you"ve stated, who the F*** does he match up on?

    • 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.
