I like it. Does that indicate Viney to spend more time in the forward line, taking Hannan's spot and giving Brayshaw more time in the middle? Roll Viney in occasionally to crash into Pendlebury's quad?

    Hannan out and vandenBerg still in.

    Tell me the absolute lie that Goody doesn't play favourites despite form.

    Rivers slightly stiff, but Lockhart has been terrific so he deserves to come straight back in.

    Obviously Preuss in for Jackson is no surprise, and I don't necessarily mind the omission of Hannan for Viney.  When you look at who they have named in the starting six up forward, I wouldn't have him in there for any of those, nor for someone like Spargo on the bench.

    If Lockhart was coming back, Rivers had to go out unfortunately. 
    Can’t believe Hannan is out! ??‍♂️

    Preuss for Jackson and Lockhart for Rivers like for like replacement. Viney for Hannan hopefully means Viney will rotate more through forward 50 and Brayshaw can continue to maximise his centre square time. 

    Ecstatic no Stephenson has a habit of killing us.

    Don’t understand Rivers getting dropped, looked good to me.

    Moore and Pendles, the rest are average at best.

    On the Coll side:

    Out: Brayden Sier (quad), Jaidyn Stephenson (omitted), Jordan Roughead (concussion), Tim Broomhead (omitted), Chris Mayne (omitted)

    Every chance Pendlebury and Hoskin-Elliot underdoen and other Key injuriey outs:  Howe, Treloar, DeGoey

    Stephenson out is interesting...who is going to kick their goals!

    We have a much better team than they have and 2 days extra rest. 

    Dees to win.

    I'm telling you, you don't know the reasons why changes are made. This isn't under age football.

    Trent rivers very stiff

    Same as Mitch Hannan more solid than a less than satisfactory Jake Melksham!!!! Goody plays favourites AGAIN!!

    And Spargo did do some good things last week But give me Rivers anyday!!

    Melksham would want to perform this week!! Also Harley I would have thought would have played!??

    Thought perhaps Lockhart might have come in for Harmes, given Rivers has looked great. Unless they have tagging ideas in mind for Harmes. I hope Viney's return doesn't disrupt Brayshaw's recent midfield form too greatly.

    Not a massive fan if I’m being honest.

    Lockhart for Rivers and keeping VDB instead of Hannan are both downgrades in class and ball use imo. And we don’t have much of it to start off with, particularly with Bennell still not selected.

    Not that I don’t rate those guys in the side, I just feel the balance is too much to the inside/contested side of things, but we all know that is Goodwin’s go.

    Seems Chris Mayne is both omitted and on the HBF.

    Rivers is very slight and gets moved out of one on ones too easily. A bit of time in the gym this summer and he will be a fixture in the back 6 in 2021. 
    Happy with the changes. Thought they might manage Sparrow or Jones for Viney but otherwise as I thought.

    Hoskin-Elliot kicked 3 on us in the QB game in 2019. He kicked 4 in 2018. 2 in Round 23 2017.

    He also kicked 3 on us when playing for GWS in 2014.

    He has form against us.

     

    Stephenson has much better form against us.

    Thought rivers was ok last week and Hannan is always handy. 

    I'm guessing Greg Stafford is still our ruck coach. He will earn his money this week in helping Preuss bring down Grundy.

    We win we are in the 8 and knock those giants out. Tomorrow will tell us how much the boys want it.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
