Agree Chandler looked a mile off. Sparrow to replace him

    I reckon we need to give Chandler a run. Loved his over the head handball to Spargo for a goal. Dropping him after a week won’t be great for his long term confidence.

    In a winning side, playing against a lower side, Chandler gets another week to find the pace of the game. 

    Melk was sub, so needs to perform at Casey to push back in.

    Chandler another week unless Viney is ready ahead of schedule

    Chandler has to get another go. But if Jackson is fit - who goes?

     

    I was all for getting BBB but he is slow and very clumsy at ground level.

    Yeah does LJ come in for Weid or Brown or Chandler?


    No change. You can’t drop a player after one week. 
    Viney needs to be 100% against the Dogs.

    Any idea how far off Jackson and Viney are? 

    no change, unless those guys are fit. 

    if they are 

    Chandler, Weideman out 

    Viney, Jackson in

    I liked the idea of Chandler but I think he makes way for Sparrow.

    It will be interesting to see if Jackson is available because I did like what Weideman brought to the team.

    IN: JACKSON AND MELKSHAM

    OUT: WEIDEMAN AND CHANDLER


    I'd be tempted to move Tom McDonald up to the wing, get Brayshaw into the middle to help with Clearances and keep Weideman, Jackson and Brown all forward when Jackson is back

    Yep. Move our best forward by far out of the forward line. Brilliant.

    I expect Chandler to be given 3 or even 4 games. It seems consistent with Goodys changes. The only difference was when Mitch Brown came and went and Id say that Mitch was well aware of his backup position. Id also think that Majak would be under no illusions if he got gifted a game. Different for youngsters and seasoned veterans.

    Given he regularly played on the wing when he dominated in 2018 and spent the entire pre season training for that role i'd probably look at knowing what i'm talking about before getting too sarcastic ?

    Viney and Jackson are best 22. If fit they both come back in.

    i thought the Weid was competing with TMac. Reckon its actually one of the Weid or BB. 

    If the club consider Chandler best 22 potential then he deserves another go.

    I think it best we go no change unless Viney needs a game before we play the dogs

    Actually you don't know what your talking about.  Firstly he didn't play on a wing in 2018 except for brief periods he played as a permanent fwd.

    Secondly Goodie has stated ad nauseaum at every presser that McDonald will stay forward & not go anywhere else.

    And move Lockett to CHB and Hudson to full back.

    I'm shocked how controversial this is, McDonald trained during the pre season as a wing, his strength was his ability to run hard forward and provide a target. and also push back and help the defense. 

    he's doing something very similar now, it's just his starting position is slightly different, he regularly pushes right up the ground and runs forward hard.

    • 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?
