Best case scenario is McDonald has a scratch on the cornea only. They heal up quickly so he may be available with some luck. Otherwise, bring Brown in.

And Jones for Melksham

 

TMac for Brown if injured. 

If Melksham goes it,  surely Hunt or Jones get first chance? He'd be the only change for me.

Maybe Lockhart for Rivers, but you can't fault Lockharts endeavour or effort.

    Maybe sparrow then. Kid looked great in JLT

    After a win, I'm inclined to go with the absolute minimum of changes.  So, as Nasher said:

    In: Brown

    Out:  Tom McDonald.

    With Chip, Frost and Sicily down there, I think Brown is the way to go with the bigger body.  While Jackson might be tempting, they would out body him all night.  Weid and Brown will at least be able to provide a regular contest.

    Other than that, we stick with the 21 who played tonight.

    Would love to play Jackson but not ready yet,

    I think Kossi anit really ready ether but we don't have a better small creative forward

    OUT: TMac (inj), Melksham

    IN: Brown, Jones

    Lockhart and Nev maybe lucky we won't want to change a winning team too much.

    Think Lockhart may  be rested/dropped. Jetta was underwhelming - nearing the end I fear. 

    Jetta looked slow & lost Rankine at two crucial stoppages. It was depressing cause we all love Nev.

    1. Um . . . it's relevant to the thread topic.
    2. Goodwin time and again has shown his ineptitude at the selection table.
    3. There is a reasonable chance it will happen.

    'Goodloss'?

    No offence, but you sound like a five year old saying that.

    Out: T. McDonald (injured), Melksham (should have happened after Carlton game)

    In: Smith (forward), Jones

    Why would you play Smith forward?

    Can someone please explain to me the fascination with this bloke?

    Jetta is cooked, but who would we bring in to replace him? Not sure I'd be bring back Rivers yet.

    Brayshaw might be under the gun. He is a huge worry and unfortunately he just plodded around tonight. Does a Sparrow or Tomlinson come in?

    • 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?
