Yeah, was more referring to where someone said they had the group cheer in the middle similar to when it's announced someone will debut.

I reckon you're spot on. Good detective work!

    Yeh well I think part of the reason Melk has come in to play that role is because of the trouble we've had with our own key talls either being outmarked or positioned by key defenders so his inclusion was born out of necessity. 

    Harmes is just too vanilla for me. And if he doesn't have a lock down role, I'd much rather us explore a more dynamic mid to take his place at season's end. A player with composure and great ball use. 

    Have you identified the tree this player grows on?

    Gates open at 415 Dub, so I'm guessing the sheilas start shortly thereafter.

    FFS mate. It's not 1973.

    And best of all, $2 pies from 4.15 until the start of the main game. When was the last time you could buy a pie at the footy for $2? Another very good reason to attend. It almost convinced me to book a flight to the G.

    $2 Rat Coffin is a pretty sick deal.

    You occasionally remind me of Range Rover, who was a particularly heinous and nauseating poser on here years ago.

    Ahh good old Rangey..

    I had my suspicion he came back as Olisik, but I think even big O was still kicking around when Rangey was active.

    Surely he's come back under another name?

    It is a worry that Carlton has 4 tall backs against our 1 tall forward ready to take many marks in the last quarter.

    Yes.

    No changes.

    Same old same old.

    But here's hoping this ossified selection comes out and belts the blues ...the team that is.

    Let us show that we are a true finals threat by not just winning, but demolishing Carlton that he game that will become known as the August Massacre.

    I am seriously worried about not winning the gf this year or even being in it and it ain't a flare up of Mfcss.

    I'm not alone. Too many players a fair way off their best.

    This game needs to be won by us by a huge margin.

    We the faithful have been finally rewarded a flag and although won in Perth it doesn't detract or taint any of its glory or merit.

    Buy how wonderful to see us win one on our home ground, so many can go and see it rather than a digital version.

     

    Go Dees.

     

    Enjoy  the game Mr DS and company.

    Can someone give us the consensus view on final teams?

    Casey team article suggests Harmes playing, not sure if that's std or he's actually confirmed?

    Others thought Laurie would debut, potentially in place of Pickett, does that leave Tomlinson as Sub?

    Just a compilation of rumours and Demonland posts...

    Kozzy may miss with a sore knee.

    Chandler and Bedford have COVID.

    Some discussion whether the excited little crowd of players was excited enough to indicate a Laurie debut.

    Then it gets intriguing because if Kozzy was to miss Laurie seems a better replacement than Harmes, but should it be Harmes then you wouldn't think we'd debut Laurie (or JVR) as sub... Which then leaves Tommo as likely sub.

    It's a bit like an episode of Bold and the Beautiful this week...

    • 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?
