    Turner and Weid both named which is interesting. dropping Hunt with Ginnivan and Elliot as there smalls is also interesting.,

    Hunt dropped seems harsh. No idea why Weideman is in unless we are planning to drop Mitch Brown. 
    Turner likely debuts if Petty isn’t right to go. 
     

    I am still so mad that May isn’t there thanks to his utter stupidity.

    Turner plays  imo.

    The rest I was wrong about apparently

    Does this mean....

    In:  Hibb,  Turner (medi sub) ...or the other way round

    Out:  Hunt, Bedford (as last week's medi-sub)

    Hope Petty is right to go.
    Even without May and Tmac that team is still good enough to win.

    No chance a kid debuts as medical sub.

    I like Hunt, last few weeks have been a bit poor but he's not alone there. Couple of brain-fades last week seemingly cost him.

    Think he is still capable of playing good footy when everyone fit and firing, just last few weeks the backline been impacted by injuries and Lever being a bit out of sort.

    Agree Jaded, Hunt unlucky IMO….there’s more than a couple that have struggled the past fortnight.

    Fair enough... not sure how these things work hence the other way round bit

    Hmmmm. I dunno. I feel like our backline players have taken a fair bit of blame over recent weeks for issues at stoppage and forward of the ball. 

    To be fair it probably feels this way because we’ve got no forwards ready to go, as frustrating as that is.

    I'd love to see evidence 

    You'd see it nearly every week if you had a look.

    For example, Jackson Archer has been listed on the extended bench at North on a few occasions this year without making the final team.  He's been named again this week on the extended bench with (new) beside his name.

    Surely Hibbo in to get Degoey? I agree that Hunt is unlucky given he's been solid prior to the last 2 weeks.

    I wonder why Toby Bedford isn't in the extended bench?? I reckon there's a chance Chandler will play for one of the Browns - the forward line needs a shakeup and adding in an extra small pressure could be exactly what we need.

    That side look good on paper hopefully not much changes between now and Saturday.!!!

    Fair comment.

    Swans 8 goals from turnovers last week, Demons none, we get 3 which isn’t a lot and we win! Not scoring from turnovers isn’t really backline, more mids & forwards.

    Week before backline under siege!

    Handy to drop 2 and still be a game on top. Let’s stop the rot this week with a win. Haven’t got a great record vs Pies recently but a different team with McCrae as coach!

    Piggy for Hunt is likely to be the only change I think. Disco looks like he must be close to stepping up which will be great for our backline options.

    Just keep Tomlinson out of side. I would prefer a newbie like Turner instead.

    • 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?
