Definitely annoyed. Possibly even annoyance awareness.

Low grade annoyance?

Tightness sin his annoyance?

My diagnosis is a mild case of exasperation.

Grumpy Gary Baker avatar tells me he will be fine to play.

And that is is his constant state

    If Preuss is injured but Gawn is fit, I guess Gawn can just about cover the loss of Preuss...

    Anyone know if Austin Bradtke played in the scratch match vs Pies?

    I believe he has been playing but I can’t see them playing him

    The Dees ruckman, who played his first game of the season last weekend, is expected to recover in time for the clash with the Western Bulldogs, but will be monitored throughout the next few days.

    Max Gawn is also set to face a fitness test in the lead up to Round 13, hoping to return from a knee injury.

    An earlier twitter post by Ayrton Woolley:

    Scans later today for Braydon Preuss. A “tweak” of hip/groin according to club. Not ruled out just yet, but he didn’t look happy.
    Dees positive on Gawn progress after big running session. @9NewsMelb
     
    Doesn't sound like it is wrist slashing time!
    If nothing else it will keep bulldogs guessing.

    sounds like something a pre game injection should fix if necessary

    Not sure having no ruck is such a bad thing for this Saturday. Forecast up here is for 45k winds Saturday. It will be worse than a wet day with ball on ground most of time.

    Yep.  The winds started here around lunch time, and are forecast to get stronger each day from now until Saturday, when they are forecast to be the strongest all year!  Just got my tickets.  Might have to take an anchor to hold me to my seat!

    i hate wind games......hope the forecast is wrong

    I reckon, if Gawn, Preuss, and Tim English are out of the game, Dees and The Bullies should nominate Daniel and Spargo as the ruckmen

    Seems odd to me, the fuss made about Collingwood's 4 games in 14 days.

    It was also our fourth game in 16 days and fifth game in 20 days.

    And the fact that Geelong flogged St Kilda on a Monday and backed it up with another flogging over Port on the Friday.

    Geelong has ruined that excuse for everyone now.

    Mitch Brown, come on down!

    Can't play ruck or key position forward if they were to use Tommy. Brown is a very tall HFF.

    Have to remember that Hannan wasn’t dropped, he was out due to illness 

    He was good against North and I think he’ll return for Sparrow or possibly Kozzy

    Jon Ralph indicated he would've been dropped regardless of being ill.

    We finally start to get on a roll and lose all our rucks.  We are the Shakespearean tragedy that never ends.

    Let’s hope it’s much ado about nothing

    • 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.
