    That looks about right. 
     

    My only wonder is whether Melksham is the right sub over Jones, Jetta or Sparrow.

    It's a hard one for sure. Melksham can give great delivery with his kicking and can kick 1-2 cheap goals if he's in the right spot. Sparrow is a bull and has an awesome inside game which is great if jordon, oliver or viney were to get injured mid game. My order would be milkshake, sparrow, jones and jetta.

    Might be time to think of another topic to post about @WERRIDEE. 

    These threads are getting seriously boring. 

     

     

    No need to read it Jimmy.

    Werridee- nailed it again. 
     

    Just to clarify though… is Marty Hore also ruled out for the year as well ?

    10 to 12 weeks it said on the injury report.

    The best team is the team that is selected every week. I have complete faith in who we put out on the park. I don't have agendas against certain players like some here do and back the team.   They deserve it, they have proven over the last 11 games

    This weekend could well be the tie-breaker to decide this. I think I’m biased because I really like Sam and I think seeing him develop in front of our eyes makes me want it more for him. Sam needs to find a way to create goals when he isn’t even playing well, that seems to be what Brown is able to do. 

    I really hope Sam fires through 3+ goals and takes a bunch of contested marks. This has to be his time to take the role by the scruff.

    I think at present Bbb is a better player but its line ball. Since sw is young, then long term sw is the one we want playing.

    Thanks. I just read that about Hore. 

    Make no difference to our playing sticks in 2021.

    Hard to justify even if comes back earl y August say and very difficult to place in our defence Petty better defender Marty not great on smalls IMO and is interceptor 3rd or 4th in line.  
     

    Hope Marty does/can come back late in year and get 2/3 Casey games snd Finals there.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
