What  happened in your second paragraph? I can’t make sense of it. 

The fourth player to be named as emergency will be another Demon whose identity is unknown and is also unimportant as he won't be playing. 

I expect Jordon will be named the injury sub and the starting line-up will be unchanged from last game.

    Now that he is on media Street he has to go against the grain to stay relevant

    I think you're right BM but its sad also. Kane cornes is highly opinionated for the same reason but he always argues his case.

    The best ross can do is say ."... so and so will get the job done...". Is that it?

    I get the feeling this is going to be a very physical game with a lot of agro.

    No doubt Max will be targeted but I cant imagine Jv being silent about that.

    Harmes and Libba will probably duke it out.

    May will probably be pushed about with his hammy in question but he can hold his own.

    Hannan will be angry again.

    Tmac will probably and hopefully throw his muscle about.

    Anb, Trac and Lever never ones to take a step back.

    And finally Fritta to fire up.

    Can't wait.

    They can toy with Max at their own expense.

    Don't poke the bear, dogs.

    I wouldn't mind if one of our defenders gets into Naughton's path occasionally in a manner that he can't flop around 'begging' for a blocking free.  Or May put a bit of side ways body contact on him before he takes his leap/takes a run.

    I'm expecting their staging exaggeration to be at an all time high, especially Hunter and Weightman.  Both very good at throwing the head back for a 'high' free and leaning back into their opp as if being held, especially when they know they can't get to the ball!  Not to mention others who drop the ball before being tackled and get a 'holding' free.  They know all the tricks and will exploit them.  

    100% agree. they have many clever tricks, watching the replays Macrae often 'dives' forward dishing off the ball almost unnecessarily to draw a high free. he will propel himself horizontally.  if we don't give up those type of frees, it will help keep the ball 'live' rather than the doggies earning a freebie.

    First time I’ve seen the majority pick the Dogs. Reckon it’s been about 75-25 towards Melbourne I’ve seen.

    I had a really vivid dream last night about the Grand Final. The scores were 146 - 42 in the third quarter, Richmond were thumping us. I didn’t see how it ended because I left early. Apologies that I can’t report on the end result but my mate texted me and said Gary Ayres won the Norm Smith.

    Still better than my dream. The dogs were leading by 30 points at 3qt a couple of nights ago. I hope we make up the deficit by 3qt Saturday evening.

    • 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?
