    Yes strong team.

    Unavailable: Daw retired.  Injured- Tmcd Dsmith Rosman BBB

    I think Hunt will be sub this week. Bedford needs the run to find some form again.

    Hopefully all the emergencies (including the sub - depending on use) get back in time for this game. Otherwise they'll miss 2 weeks of footy, with the bye the week after. I'd be guessing we'll be taking at least the 4 emergencies.

    I don't think anyone will be flying back from Perth for the Casey game.

    The first Virgin flight leaves Perth at 6:00 am arriving 11.35.

    Casey starts at 1.05 pm at Casey.

    So even if things went clockwork..too tight. Peter Hudson not there so no helicopter.!!!

    There is a Jetstar flight leaving at 1:40 am, but I doubt if they would use that ?

    I’m looking at the Casey team and it shows we probably need to identify a young ruck, key forward and another quality mid/onballer in the draft period.
    Depending on the Jackson situation, if he goes then we’d need to grab a mature bodied ruck/key forward.

    I thought there was a suggestion that J.Smith was going to play forward . Another breakdown from playing defence whether it be via Casey or Demons he will end up getting de listed.

    JVR could be one of the “flying” emergencies this week (??) 

    You could be right. It would have to be him or M Brown as the emergency forward

    Wonder if Dunstall will travel as the emergency mid?

    His position going forward is the relief forward/back so that makes sense

    Would've thought he was a bit old and wrong position as well. 🤔

    Plus he has a contract with fox footy

    What sort of draft picks would we need to give Fox Footy, to get the deal done?

    Hopefully he has a good game - expectations should be modest as he’s missed a lot of footy but a few goals and getting through unscathed would be a real positive

    Would probably arrive by Tuesday morning.

    Sadly I think Joel would be only one more long term injury (wherever he plays) from being delisted. 🤕

    No at a night with Lever & May at the Sporting Globe Bar. Good night and you get an insight into their personalities and what makes them tick as well as some goss.

    To be honest, I'd be satisfied if he just gets through the game unscathed with or without any goals. If anyone on our list deserves some luck go his way, it's him.

    VFL | Five changes to face Bullants (melbournefc.com.au)

    Just 3 changes to my possible team. Josh.Smith replaces Bell in the ruck and Quigley has got the nod over Grey and Baldi comes in to replace the promoted Hunt.

    Can't see that team taking the field as four of them are in Perth as emergencies

    They will come home early for the game surely?

    • 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.
