Tried to pick the side for position and not AA style, could be an argument that my back six is a bit too tall, cannot go past LOVETT on HB, WIGHT also just just over LEVER, after all he did match it with God. I think gets the speed / strength balance right with Wight in the team. WARD and RIVERS thereabouts in Defense and JETTA/GARLAND were pretty outstanding in some crap sides. DAVEY and JOHNSTONE elite ball users. WHELAN was just such a weapon, would want him on my shoulder anywhere, JETTA not far behind his 1v1 wins are/were brilliant.

GREEN never felt like he reached everything he could be and great clubman that he is felt like he mailed it in sometimes (sorry). BRUCE's hospital passes still frustrate me even though he purred like a big cat running and had the ball on a string.

Mids/Followers -- Oliver is clear head and shoulders above everyone else, and Petracca in last 18mth> Woewodin/Bruce/McDonald/Jones/Moloney. Tingay was the 2nd coming of Jesus until he damaged the nerve, am still sad about it too...

Forwards - I would back this combination against any other team I can think of, three talls(sort of) Lyon, Jackovich, Schwarz...Boomshakalaka, Smalls - Farmer, Robertson, and Davey would be cricket scores every week. 

Interchange - elite ball users all, for excellent delivery to our marking power and Stynes as the utility.

Fairway off some of the other teams posted here - Jurrah just not enough of a body of work, I do see an argument for Jeff White over Stynes as well. My sincere apologies to Woewodin/Jones/MCDonald, I am trying to take Langdon out of the wing for one of them, and am probably suffering from memory loss but Langdon's run and improved disposal has been incredible. Powell not forgotten, Moloney on song was good but a one trick pony with disposal for too long. Apologies to FEEBY/ VINEY (Both)/

B: WIGHT, MAY, WHELAN

HB:  RIVERS, NEITZ, B.LOVETT

C: LANGDON, PETRACCA, TINGAY

HF: LYON, SCHWARZ, DAVEY

F: FARMER, JAKOVICH, ROBERTSON

IC: STYNES, JOHNSTONE, SALEM, YZE

Emergency (am sorry but I cannot make this smaller)

LEVER, WOEWODIN, JURRAH, WHITE, MCDONALD,  JETTA, JONES, S. FEEBY

I’m a bit surprised with the amount of teams without Nate Jones in them.

Team captain, 3x B&F and 2nd for all time games played made him a certain starter for mine.

Huge love for the man, also for James MCD but who do you drop? Captains didn't fair well with my side, despite my love for them, Green didn't get an emergency spot either.

@SupermercadoAlso re Bennet - very good point!!!

I feel dirty that I didn't have room for S Febey. If Salem has another year like this year he becomes a starter.

CAVEAT if the team salutes on the 25th, then all of my selections become null and void, and the winning team is the greatest since 1964.

I completely forgot about Rivers and Nathan.Brown so Rivers goes to CHB and N.Brown replaces Grinter at half back.

  • 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.
