I agree. Can't find a place for Lockhart nor Bennell who could have added the X factor.  Why was he given a contract if they don't want to play him?

As if we need x factor.

    Presumably Jetta does. Smith might get a job on one of their three tall forwards: Finlayson, Cameron and Himmelberg. Although Tomlinson might get the third tall instead.

    Smith cannot play footy 

    Even Goodwin must know that by now what a joke!

    I think Im the last one on this site who still thinks Smith can play an important role. He  just had to stop jumping over the top of May and Lever...and then spilling the mark. Personally Im glad they're giving him more games. Come for me on Sunday if he's awful .

    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

    yep

    they will take marks at will in the forward line

    So we bought Hibberd back to early for the Dockers game, just like we did Jones for the Swans game.

    We keep rolling out old injured players but we cant find a spot for Bennell?

    I like the side .

    Good balance of Pace and Size.

    The form of the club as a whole is atrocious so I'm not going to single out players who deserved to be dropped but weren't.

    The club has its back to the wall and nothing to lose so in true Melbourne style I'm predicting an annoyingly hope-building win.

    How this team has not won a flag by now is just ridiculous! Talk about compromised recruitment - Look at their Ins and Outs: how many top end draft picks in that lot?

    Hope we smash them.

    Unfortunately their selected side is probably the strongest 22 they have had in for some time and here I was thinking 9 changes meant they were dragging in untried kids but no we have 5 or so experienced players coming back! A big ask now.

    Down to the bottle shop picket and buy a decent Barossa Shiraz   - sip it , don't slurp it

    Forget Footy  , listen to your [censored] music - Your blood pressure will improve.

    ( Free advice from Uncle Bitter)

    PS Make that two bottles

    I won't come for you if Smith is awful.  I know that he is awful  why can't you see it.   IMO they will play him no matter what now and possibly been told he is playing the last 2 games for his career.

    The ins don't exactly fill me with confidence. Thought we had better options in  Bennell, Lockhart and T.Mac. Interesting game no one is in form. Even if we do make the 8 or GWS make the 8 we are all just making up the numbers anyway. How many chances does Spargo get? Why do they love him?

  • Quote

    Did Lockhart sleep with someone he shouldn't have ?

    But do they run around the ball, run around the contest and dodge tackles?

    • 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.
