I was feeling ok about this match a day ago but as it gets closer I’m getting nervous again. This is a really big test for our maturity, a chance to go 3-0 and set ourselves up for the year, it’s a situation that has my MFCSS going nuts. 

I really want to see if our pressure from last week continues into this week, GWS will be feeling their season slip away if they go 0-3 so it’s huge for them. Would love to see a statement similar to last weeks opening bounce from us. Oh and accurate kicking for goal please!!!

    No change makes sense. 
    I want to see someone absolutely bang the door down to get selected 

    Hard to do when there are no reserve grade games this weekend ?

    I wonder, I’m glad they’ve sent Baker back to Casey. No need to keep him with the sun with no match practice (though I think there’s no matches this weekend!). Either way it’s good to get someone else in the sub role, I reckon Hibberd or Melksham should go in there. 

    No change is the best thing for the team. 

    See above.

    I'm annoyed.

    I  won't get the chance to yell, after Perryman is paid a rubbish free kick:

    DON'T PAY THE PERRYMAN!!!

    Would it make a difference if he was on the other side....

    Baker, although not getting a run last week, is omitted from this week's squad.

    they do this to rotate the player not playing so the same player doesn't go more than a week without an actual match of footy, my guess is melky in the vest today

    I know they don't usually line up as selected but seeing Jones on the wing is the stuff of nightmares.

    Jones' strength and experience will serve us well against GWS.

    Anyone know if there was/is an intra-club match this weekend? 

    Difficult for this weeks non AFL selected players to make a case for selection, especially those that are regular/semi-regular AFL players:  Melksham, Hibberd, Smith, Petty etc.

    • 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.
