Any information/team listings for this practice match? Hard to find material to preview and consider. Any salient advice would be welcome.

    Just word of mouth from a golfing friend - was not sure whether it was on or not. Hard to gather info over here in SA if you are not a Crows or Port fan.

    My guess at squad of 26: May, Salem, Harmes, Petracca, Jackson, Lever, Spargo, Gawn, Oliver, Langdon, Laurie, Bowey, Tomlinson, Jordon, Rivers, McDonald, Hunt, Neal-Bullen, Fritsch, Sparrow, Baker, Petty, Chandler, M Brown, Jetta, Lockhart

    Disappointing that the VFL guys will play tomorrow morning so it might be hard for the emergencies or 23-26 to get a full hit out. Not sure how we will manage the game time. Most clubs so far have subbed in 23/24 sometime around the half and given 25/26 a run in the last.
     

    Certain players might be in the VFL side to get a full run rather than being the sub players in the main game.

    Anyone heading to Whitten oval for the early game? Might just make the trip to see Gus and a few others run around.

    I might go for a look, then head back to Marvel afterwards. Make a day of it.

    If we lose both it might be sad Monday.

    I'd rather go and be disappointed, than not go at all and maybe miss the only opportunity to go to live game all year. 

    This time last year I went to practise match v North at Arden, followed by All Stars game at Marvel.

    We all know what happened after that... ?

    So yeah, while I can go I will!

    Fine Dubdee was just suggesting it could be horrible. Actually think we will win both.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
