Maybe it's just me but I have a good feeling about tomorrow. We are badly due and tbh Pies are in a good spot to spank given their injuries. It would be nice to end the year with at least one win against a big club. 

Just getting this sense we will win comfortably.

Wandered over to Gosh's this morning.  Appears training was cancelled. 

The rehab squad was out there.

Joel Smith running straight lines with a tracker. Looks strong and has bulked up around the hip area.

Aaron Nietschke and Tom Sparrow walking and running laps.

Jake Lever was doing lots of ball work with two trainers. Appeared to be moving without restrictions. 

Training Cancelled?? Just like training camp then... Bit too cold and wet for our guys possibly Hnmm

I went passed on Wednesday but training had been cancelled, then TV interviews happened Thursday, so did they train then? If they did then Friday would be limited  perhaps, although having watched a few Friday sessions, they are no more than a 45 minute stretching exercise with a few kicks on goal. So you could do Thursday and Friday but at this stage why bother?

Methinks Hore comes in for Lever as a late out and this was always what was going to happen.

If Lever does play then I have no idea why Hore wasn't chosen over OMac.

One of many perplexing selection decisions this season.  I realise many are by requirement through injury and niggles that we are unaware of but this one is a cracker.

I am unable to bring myself to watch any MFC games for as long as Goody persists with Oscar from here on.  Just too depressing and all i feel is pitty on the players around him who are mostly up to the contest and the team as a whole.  Today's game is so punishing there is no way of effectively covering off being a player (or half a player) short down back.

I have Hore ranked as our No.1 defender for the year and No.6 ranked player overall.  An amazing first up year for the rookie.

Understandable reasons ...either something isn't quite right with Hore, Goody is preserving his young frame for next season (but if that's the case why risk him at VFL level??)

Maybe there's some other sensible reason we are unaware of.  If not, something has seriously gone haywire within the Fd or with Goody himself.

The problem is there's never been a time in our game where the forwards have received the softest free kicks like this year.

O Mac has to adapt to this if he's to have a future as a defender. Giving away 3 free kicks to Lynch no matter how soft they were, was too many.

Without the frees against, O Mac's performance against Tom Lynch would've been commendable.

Did omac give lynch 3 free kicks?

Or is that a #omacmyth?

Well yes because he had 3 free kick against right next to his name on the stat list. They were also when he was on Lynch. 

So you look a bit silly here mate..

Sorry dazzler. I'm confused. Why do I look a bit silly?

Because it's not an #omacmyth, it's a fact.

I'm still confused.  Did you miss my question marks?

And is it a fact that at all three of omac frees were against lynch? I would be surprised but don't know.

But you must be right. Because you said it is a fact.

I'll have a look at AFL pro and check, just to check the facts.

  • 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?
