No change. 

No change, an 83 point win.

 

 

No change.

Hopefully they don't drop Rivers for Hunt. Thought Rivers was fairly poor but can't drop someone after that.


No change.

Jordon holds his spot as sub. It's hard for Chunk, but Jordon has been in the 23 almost all year and it's just the right thing for Jordon to have that spot.

Absolutely no change.

Im sorry for Hunt but he got injured at the wrong time and Bowey passed a big test tonight.

I would make Jones sub. If it’s out of JJ or Jones I’d make a sentimental call and give it to Jones given it’s highly likely  neither will actually get on the field.

Suspect May's hamstring is an issue

He was preserved tonight in case of a concussion or other significant injury until no question

Who replaces May?

And yes, I want Jones as sub!!!


No change.

But I bleed for Nathan Jones. 

No change. Sorry Jonesy.

I literally can't believe there is a changes for the GF thread

 

Pinch yourselves people

 


Should have said, if May's injured, I think it will be Joel Smith (assuming he's fit). There aren't any other reasonable options.

Yes we can

Heart and connection got us here

Jones is simply not good enough anymore, he is well down the pecking order.

Please do not put Jones as sub. We cannot get sentimental in a grand final

If they make him sub then it means that he’s earnt it, no questions asked. He’s been listed as an emergency for 2 games now so IMO there’s no reason why (either sentimentally or logically)they shouldn’t make him the sub.

That being said, he’ll probably go home to see the birth of his kids so this argument is pointless.

He's been an emergency, not the medi-sub.

Jordon's been the sub in both the finals and there's no reason he would slip below Jones in the pecking order now.


Jones sub. He is capable of what Jordon did tonight. His presence on the bench alone will lift the team. 

Jones in?

 

Love James Jordan but Jonesy has earned the right to be in the team.

Ratugolea out and Tom Stewart in, just to stick it up Doc Larkin.

Oh, wait.

  • 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.
