No Gawn and Viney makes it hard. Ugly loss coming up. Those two have done so much work for us this season

North have proven that they can't win a game without Cunnington. Jackson and Brayshaw will be able to cover them.

    Add Jackson to that he has to play the game of his life.

    I hope we don't burn him out too.

    Hopefully we won't see the clips of Gus sitting despondently on the bench for long periods.

    Weid and LJ to take advantage of Gus's delivery into the forward 50.

    Has to be Sparg's last chance with Bennell, Bedford, JJ, Hannan, Chandler and even Hunt capable of taking his place.

    Last chance garbage, should Never have been picked in front of Bennell, Bedford, JJ, Hannan, Chandler and even Hunt

    Are we serious??

    I notice that Preuss was named as an emergency, does that mean he’s in Adelaide as well? If so he must feel coming to Melbourne was a wait of time.

    Agree on pretty much all of them, but Bennell is being managed. I’d easily have Hunt in over Spargo.

    Love to see a sprint race between Gus, Tomlinson, Tmac and Jones. 

    Possibly the slowest team that has played for the MFC since Big Carl, Ray Biffen, Spud Dullard and Gary baker (sorry Gary) lined up together. And i reckon those four would beat the others home!

    Good grief i have been waiting all evening for this

    Spargo and T mac Selection equals committee  lost plot

    Tmac is not right cant run cant catch cant turn cant kick  the game has passed him by 

    Spargo is vertically challenged with zero footy smarts

    Why employ Preuss if not for this scenario

    Tmac has played and shown nothing. Preuss at least may really want to play and perform against his old club

    Only thing I'll say on this, is that Hunt has been given a crack this year and, for the most part, done little with it.

    Time to give Charlie a crack and see if he can do better.

    I dunno what the point is in having Preuss if we don't play him for this exact scenario.

    Have a feeling he will play instead of Tom Mac. Hunt must really be on the outer if he is behind Spargo, who is small, slow, a short kick and can’t mark, the opposite of Hunt.

    Like all DL'ers I have NFI what the FD see in Charlie.

    27 games averaging less than one goal and one goal assist per game.

    Spargo was good in 2018 after a commendable debut. He was rubbish in 2019 along with the rest of them. Glad he’s getting another crack.

    Spargo has always been rubbish, has just been carried in a good team in 2018

    Incorrect.

    He showed plenty in 2018, which is why he was part of the side in 2018 for most of the year.

    As ET rightly points out above, he stunk it up in 2019 but so did many others.

    Deserves another crack this week.

    Spargo is easily the worst selection of the year. Tommy isn't much better but when on song he can at least play forward, Spargo can't play anywhere.

    Developing.

    To me, he deserves a run at it.  Hunt got his chance and did little with it.  Bennell has been hot and cold.  Time to give Charlie a game or two and see if he can cement a spot in the side going forward.  He's shown he is capable of doing it.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
