    Shocking team selections.

    ANB and Melksham stay in after having 0 influence on the scoreboard and also defensive pressure.

    Hibbered missing after ankle soreness. There was whispers before the game last week he would potentially miss due to his ankle. They play him on Walter's and he kicks 3 goals and wins them the game. We had a fit Lockhart and Jetta ready to go.

    Hope we get absolutely smashed.

    Agree with all of that except the last sentence

    Must have played a blinder in a scratch match somewhere in last few days. Got me beat. We have a shocking/pathetic forward line HOWEVER we have played well at the Gabba so there is some hope, maybe.

    There forward line will smash us in the air. And when it hits the ground Green will beat us. Not confident. Im sure Goodwin is throwing darts at selection. He has no idea who our best 22 are

    How the hell does ANB get a game. It is a joke of a side.

    They have made 8 changes and not many sides win when making 8 changes but GWS will put that to the sword on saturday. Pile up your fridge and get ready for the Goodwin thread.

    Changes are very beige granted they probably right some things that didn’t work last time. 

    Gee TMac is on the outer. Hoping Nev can show them what it means to play every game like its your last.

    ANB you can forgive being first game back, Melky.... not so much even with the  tagged role he played last week.

    Yep and I’m going to the game so that will be fun. 
     

    I know I’m lucky to be able to go to a game by bloody hell its the first time in a long time I’m not looking forward to it or excited to be going. 
     

    Sad but true.

    It is obvious to me that he is injured.

    Sorry Dazzling I have blocked out the previous week... Yeap he’s very lucky.

    Unless Harley is injured you’d think they should get him some more game time this season ahead of the ANBs.

    Dropping Preuss and Bedford is the right call.

    Replacing Preuss with Brown rather than TMac is justifiable but questionable. Have to query where TMac is at.

    Replacing Bedford with Spargo is fair enough, it's not like Hannan was in any better form when he was in the side.

    I love Neville and am glad to see him back but there is no reasonable way he should be in front of Lockhart based on 2020 output. It doesn't make sense for us to be naming Lockhart as an emergency if he's injured or unfit. I do not understand the Lockhart omission and continue to disagree with it.

    I'm happy with the selections. It's not an inspiring lineup but the players currently out of the team were all given chances and didn't perform. Swapping all of our forwards every week doesn't help anyone, so I'm glad to see slightly more continuity.

    I envy you for being able to go demonox. Even if there are games here next year I doubt we will be able to go.

    Smith and ANB given games makes my blood boil. Jetta should have played last week in the wet conditions. Selection is a joke and has been all season.

    He has to have some sort of injury.

    Does Nev go to Greene 'titan'??? he's got the physical strength and game smarts, Greene is not lightning.

    Surely we wouldn't play Hunt or Salem on him.

    Maybe Smith but I hope not.

    Half a dozen coldies before the game might help.

    • 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.
