    Get it done, bombers need inside mids perhaps we can trade one of ours as a direct swap. Sparrow and a pick or a Brayshaw / Viney

    I think you'll find ANB was playing that defensive tagging role on him.

    Did you see who he had upfield to kick to?

    I know he is quick, can break lines and is generally a neat kick. What impressed me yesterday was his one on one work. If we can get him he will be an automatic selection and will complement Salem nicely across half back. Could also go some way to solving our small defender problem as we often get torched by opposition small forwards.

    Didn’t think that much of him yesterday to be honest. Seems to just burst out of blocks and make it up as he goes Sam Frost style.

    Not sure that manic movement is what we need. Salem was awesome yesterday and really stood out with his composure and skills. Same with Rivers and these are the type of players we need not Saad in my opinion.

    Agree won some good one on ones.  I'm a fan.

    admittedly i was a few beers in.. but i feel like i was trying to focus on his output.. oh well, who knows. i'm not against getting saad by any means, but just don't want to sign another player with average skills, if he's got em, great

    There was a view expressed in the media (sorry can't remember who) that if Saad leaves Essendon it will be because he wants to go to a club that is going to challenge soon (so won't be to North).

    Recall seeing some articles stating that was his reason, it kind of seems like a reason to give for leaving that doesn’t  directly throw the coaching staff or administration under the bus. Him saying that though does say a fair bit about the direction he thinks the club is heading, though.

    Saad would have some sort of relationship with Steven May right?

    Richmond has asked about Adam Saad. He isn’t gone yet by any stretch. Demons don’t seem very keen at all despite speculation he is on his way there. Fantasia considering his future. Dons fans would you be upset if he went home?

    Similar to Williams, is a good player but not worth the money that is being floated around. Happy to put @dazzledavey36 in charge and pursue Merrett.

    Wouldn't think so given he's a practicing Muslim...

    Sadly Bomberblitz Ralph probably has good connections on this one.

    Gotta love this time of year though.

    If Houli plans to retire, it's the perfect inclusion.

    Don't we need a winger/outside mid or a small and tall forward

    Why are we looking at this guy

    Salems' position?

    Would he replace  Hibbo?

    • 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.
