    Hard to change. Keeping Vander's, Spargo and the Melkman was a stroke of genius!

    Gawn for Pruess if Max is fit. Harmes out and maybe give Jordan a run.

    Depends on Max. If he is right then Preuss out. I would drop Tomlinson as well and bring in Bennell.

    Preuss showed enough tonight for us to wait until Gawn is truly ready, there is no need to rush him back. Harmes and Jones are the two that worry me the most, Sparrow is doing a good job but had lesser impact and may be worth a rotation to blood Jordon or shift Harmes into the midfield and Rivers to the back half. Will ee who gets called out in the scratch that we also won well before I decide but would not surprised if we go unchanged.

    all comes down to whether max is crocked and how everyone pulled up

    as much as i'd love bennell back in, none of spargo, pickett, jones look like being dropped

    i'm going to presume it's simply max for preuss

    Give Max another week of rest, Preuss more than capable at the level. Tomlinson was ordinary but cant offer up much of a replacement. His flexibility to go back and take a tall forward has been great the last 3 weeks even in spite of his ball use. Unchanged for mine.

    Tomlinson for benell and tmac for maxy. Play both Max and preuss.

    In: Gawn

    Out: Preuss

    I’m not sure Bennell warrants selection again just yet. The only potential outs would be Tomlinson maybe Sparrow.

    TMac may not have dominated , but he is a competitor in the ruck and in the forward like, which suits our smaller fwds . I would bei nterested in how our coaching staff rate some of the "lesser lights "contributions tonight.

    Make a tough match-up for the Dogs. Rest the big men forward and Fritta goes to the wing. Won't happen.

    Bont and Daniel are the keys to the Dogs. Hold one or both and you're halfway to a win.

    HB appears reluctant to lay a tackle. I suspect tackle pressure is what the FD love about Spargo. Sparrow improving each week. A keeper.

    All played their roles.  It was Harmes best game

    • 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.
