All we need is a fit AVB between half-forward and half-back, rejoining the team as his presence does make us a better team; but importantly, we need a player of his type to assist clear a few pathways for his teammates and to de-stabilise some big personal opinions amongst the opposition, such as Bumford.

 

I would love Neville to be back to his old form.

Not sure how he would fit in but used to be such a star and a big part of 2018.

Vanders certainly gives us hardness ....a Grinter if you will but hes not silky skilled.

But like Jets he too has been a big part of our transition.

    We’ve got swimming lessons now, so should shake out some of the sillies! 
    They’re currently bragging to their swim teacher that they’re going to the MCG ?

    Must win. I want top 2 this year. LESSGO DEES 

    Exactly. If we want to win a flag this year, we need to finish top 2. Finishing 2nd and playing Brisbane at the G is so much better than finishing 3rd and travelling to Brisbane.

    Therefore winning a game when your $1.20 favs is simply not negotiable.

    That was the style at the time. 

    Thankfully now the last world war is nearly 80 years in the rear vision mirror, you could tie a white one, and not just a brown one, on there.


    Glad this game is starting at 11:45am Perf time. 
     

    I’m pretty dusty after last nights tipples that the hair of the dog can’t come quick enough.

    Well, you learn something new every day…

    I just did the unthinkable and used the public loo at Nth Melb train station. 
    I never knew toilet paper came in 1/4 ply! It’s like using gossamer. 

    Can't go today. Sick as hell unfortunately. First Melbourne game all year I'll be missing. Spewing.

    Tigres spot in the  up for grabs today gives Great Waste of Space incentive and focus to get into the 8 with a win.

    However i think we got them covered. Kossie is due.

    Yes but so it was for the Bombers. If we play close to, or at our best we will win easily. Peeing down up here in Brisbane and can't wait to watch this game. Agree Kozzie is due and just trust we get a few supporters to the G today to give our team a lift.

    Last week GWS were playing for a spot in the 8 and were beaten by the 17th placed Hawthorn. They weren't too incentivised it seems.

    • 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?
