Playing a fast side who have added Hunter Clark, we have gone slower. Hunt and Bedford must be on the nose.

    That is the most utterly disgusting team we have picked all year. The ins include slow wet wags, I like the way they drop Lockhart and don't bring in someone to play on Butler. What is going to be. Tomlinson ?????? St Kilda would be wetting themselves looking at that side.

    Hibbo will get Butler

    How do you rock up late to training and your housemate turns up on time? Especially given they cant do all that much in 'hub-land' anyway.

    O Mac's form this year has been ok and Wagner is capable enough and will provide pleanty of effort.

    Hope you’re right but this team looks very slow to me...

    We bemoan Goody for not making changes, then are gobsmacked when he brings in 6. We are a fickle bunch!

    I just cannot fathom why Lockhart has been dropped. 

    Is there something more to that?

    Absolutely flabbergasted, and that’s got nothing to do with my views on OMac and Wagner either.

    Don't mind this side at all.

    All the players that we've bought in are goers and more than capable of playing the roles required of them.

    The only real disappointment for me is that Jayden Hunt didn't get a go.  I recon he deserves another crack and is capable of kicking goals.

    Agree totally.  Looking forward to seeing Wagner in the side again.

    Hasn’t exactly brought in 6 that will improve the side though, has he?

    We wouldn't bemoan him if they were six we agreed with.

    That's the one that annoys me the most.

    The others I can some value in, especially with Oscar as the Saints like to go quite tall down forward, but Lockhart has been consistently good for the last month.  

    It's a very strange decision to say the least.

    Exactly.

    Needs to explain why he didn't select Dusty, Gaff and Kelly.

    Don’t think the number of changes is the problem and nobody seems to be upset about TMac or Harmes being dropped. They have been [censored] all year. 
    I am just confused by some of the changes against a fast team, after we got burnt by a fast team 6 days ago. That’s all.

    Initial reaction: Jesus, we've hit the panic button.

    Calming down a bit: not so bad. Managing sore players might be a factor.

    Fritsch stiff - he wasn't great last week, but he still took 10 marks - Brown won't give us that. Lockhart also stiff, but I think Rivers is an upgrade.

    Harmes and TMac well and truly deserve to be dropped, and Sparrow and Preuss were never going to be playing.

    • 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.
