Would suggest all of Fritsch, Jetta, Spargo and Melksham will all be discussed. Petty and Hunt possibly too, but they likely stay due to credits and need I reckon.

Hard to judge Weid's performance today. Horrible ball use forward of centre most of the time, none of Weid, TMac or Fritsch got much opportunity.

Might hold off until after the Casey game for ins.

    You might want to revist our lust because we dont have too many replacements.

    Besides Jake Melksham will always get picked.

    He was dropped last week. Didnt play in the seconds and hey presto hes back in.

    I would drop Sam w. 

    Hunt yes.

    Jetts  but i fear we lack depth.

    It's a list of who I think will be discussed, I didn't suggest all would be dropped.

    In agreement 

    Salem above anyone, we missed him a lot today, hurt our transition forward, shows how important he is for us.  Jetta, is only up to a lockdown role, not suitable for what the team needs.  Melks started well, I assume he got a kick up the backside after being dropped, but then drop off and was almost unsighted on tv at least for the rest of the game. 

    Weid is a hard one, today our mid's did not find the space(workmate) for good delivery over the game.

    The concern is the quick movement that we had to work against is the dog's game.  However plays next week this is a reminder to the expectation needed to stay in the team.

    Spargo played his role as usual and was one of the few to hit a target, absolutely no chance he gets dropped.

    Same goes for Petty and Hunt. If we had to reheat the ancient Jetta to find a 7th defender we aren't going to suddenly find 2 more in the next 6 days.

    Bit harsh on Weid who had some ok moments but he doesn't clunk marks and doesn't find any easy ball. Brown is a Docklands specialist.

    Sparrow should've been picked over Melksham for weeks. We can't carry a taller forward line and a forward/midfielder like Melksham who doesn't tackle and doesn't crack in.

    Fritsch and Spargo won't be in the conversation at all,  Petty and Hunt will also stay in.

    BROWN should never have been dropped in the first place, would he have missed that easy goal from 35 out that Weeds chocked on? Nar, Melksham should almost not be picked until he shows some intensity was woeful tonight!

    Hard to say who goes. The forward half pressure was suspect all night. Pressure on the ball carrier wasn’t great either.

    i felt the weight fell on too few shoulders and a few old habits crept back into our game.

    If BBB kicks 3+ goals, I think he comes in otherwise Salem in for Jetta if fit. 

    JJ needs a rest. Viney or if not fit then sparrow

    I think Brown has to come back in. The Weid to make way. He didn't take his chance.

    Fritsch deserves to be dropped. North was the last good game he played. Not impressed with him at all this evening especially after that non-goal when he should have passed to Trac.

    • 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.
