Interesting no Salem?

They’ve basically never really said he’s injured or with what. They sort of referenced it in passing in a press conference. I suspect he’s struggling a bit with groin issues that they’re managing. Don’t think they want to advertise it tho which is fair enough. 
I think Tom is a good chance to play. If his back was really bad they wouldn’t have put him through that flight or made him leave his family for 7 days to stare at a hotel wall.

    There was also a rumour on Demonland that he was injured but seems as though it was just a rumour.

    Weideman??? Shoulder??? 

    don't tempt fate...there's 16 minutes to play after a solid 30 mins cooling down...reeks of a disaster waiting to happen...

    Such bad luck for Hunt. He was one of 12 (I think) players to have played every game to this point, wasn't he?

    We can cover him I think (Hibberd), but hopefully our season progresses long enough for him to be able to push to get back into the 22.

    Bad luck for Hunt. Sent back to his natural position on halfback this year and he’s flourished again and played every game. He’s not the cleanest player, but he’s one of our most impactful when on. Shame he might miss playing finals after being a consistent part of the team that got there.

    Super disappointing and his pace will be really hard to replace. I hope he can make it back for prelims if we make it that far. 

    I would say Hibbo is the natural replacement there and Bowey can play a more attacking role with Hibbo defending. You lose pace with Bowey but you gain better ball use. 

    Let’s hope Salem’s groins hold up n

    Very unlucky for hunt, no wonder he looked so glum in the rooms after the game

    Shattered for Hunt, one of my favs and will be missed.  I know his speed is what stands out but he is so good defensively.

    We loose a lot of run out the back half, hope it's only 3-4 and with the bye he's still a chance

    That is really rotten luck for Hunt, he’s really looked a lot more settled this year and has used his outside run well (particularly when he partners with his twin). This is without a doubt a loss. Hopefully he can get himself back in for some finals later on.

    Um is Hore going to play this year? 

    Yes but not in the seniors unless absolute disaster strikes with injuries.

    Surely not worth the risk. Give him until next season.

    Wouldn't have thought we'd lose too much pace with Bowey. Kid is quick.

    Yes but Jayden is a seasoned campaigner and line breaker and can take a lot of physical pressure, we couldn’t expect Bowey to withstand that tempo in his first few games. Very sorry for Hunty one of my favs. Maybe deClasse to wing and JJ half back??

    Doubt we will debut any more players this close to the finals but could be wrong. I would expect Hibberd to come in with his pace and experience. Hope he has freshened up a bit because he looked way off the boil in his recent games. 

    Perhaps Hibberd can play a lockdown role on opposition defenders like his game against dusty earlier in the year. Should free up Bowey for some more  attacking plays and remove intensive defensive responsibilities.

    Unlucky for Hunt but I still am not sure how he would go under under finals pressure. Would prefer players that are more reliable than those that might get caught HTB on a long run. Harsh I know, he had been good this year. But we can cover him with Bowey and Hibbo

    judging by alan richardson's video i would guess plugger mac is less rather than more likely

    If so the question will be will do we look at Weideman one last time? Felt we were a tall short against West Coast.

    Hibberd is finished too slow and fumbly we need to include pace into lineup this week maybe Bedford??

    • 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.
