    Wonder if Neale back will throw off the balance there team has had over the last month or so, we might have an opportunity just like vs dogs to get them early

    I think I prefer Bb but the club has done the right thing giving Sam W another game.

    Not that I ever wish injuries or anything but when he was originally injured and they announced how long he'd be out for I'm pretty sure it was beyond our match. How come our players never come back sooner?

    Because whenever one of our guys does a foot or leg related injury it’s immediately a 4-6 injury that turns into 12 weeks. Aka The Viney. 
     

    And why did one of our most important players have to miss this game of all games? Couldn’t wait one more week? ?

    IMO that wing role will be shared between a few players. I'm a Sparrow fan but not sure on his tank and delivery for that job the whole game. Maybe out of Hunt, Jordon, Melksham and ANB. Would be surprised to see Sparrow even line up there.

    I'm happy with that call. Really happy to see Sparrow get a game.

    Interesting emergencies: Baker, Bedford, Bowey and Mitch Brown.

    M Brown getting into the emergencies but B Brown not.

    Sparrow a sound selection preferable to the lite-soy latte alternative being ‘floated’ by some DL pundits. We prefer our our ‘coffee’ ? and committed. No froth.

    • 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?
