    Yep sure does so we win the midfield battle and should score enough to win. Feeling good about this one and one of only 14% that have picked the Dees

    Should also add that Bytel who has been dropped played alright last week and King/Jones will be rusty in first real game back.

    We play a fast StKilda side. Jones and Jetta.

    Jetta will be fine, Jones always worries me but hey no one’s knocking the door down to replace him

    Maybe RIT but I think that our emergencies are starting to provide some excellent options should any one fail to fire in their role.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Paul Hunter....  never heard of the St kilda ruckman before (doesn't mean hes no good of course).   Max was well down on his best last week and would be looking to dominate this one.

    Add Viney to those two.

    I will assume from that comment you think Viney is a tad slow. Maybe watch him a bit

    If the the injury sub comes from emergencies, who will it be?

    Probably depends who gets injured..?? 

    On another note, I can see our backline keeping St Kilda goalless for the entire game.

    They have to nominate the injury sub before the game. 

    An earlier poster stated, before the emergencies were even named, that it would be Baker.

    Congrats to Steven May on 150 games.

    Hope you play a blinder like a repeat of the game in Alice last year and drag us over the line.

    FYI - I’m the loud bastard on level 3 outer wing conveying the same message

    Selection pretty much as expected. It would have been interesting to see who would have been dropped if Harmes was not injured.

    Good luck to May on his 150th milestone, Hope he has 150 more high class games for the Dees.

    Must admit, that Saints team hardly strikes fear on paper in terms of names. But as usual, they have a lot of run and speed.

    • 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?
