I'm overseas and can't watch.  What was the goss

Nothing too exciting. Salem out just due to soreness.

 

C’mon Bowey, give the selectors a headache coming into finals.

    Groin soreness a week from finals isn’t ideal. Salem has had a year to forget.

    The Bowey selection is interesting purely that he's coming off a 5 day break and got some pretty big hits at Casey last week.

    Looking forward to watching him play though.

    Leprechaun luck comes back.

    Goody knows how important Salem is in finals. Check Q1 GF. He is our most composed player bar none.  No risk taken as a quality kid ready. 
    good call

    Is Max OK?

    Bowie for Salem I can handle but if Max is out I might as well start drinking now.

    My info is that Max is struggling with a knee injury and may be a very late, late out.

    Bye next week


    Hearing Fagan talk pre game it seems they've gone to absolute town on our game plan.

    Stated that they have reviewed games from this year and last year to see what the issue is.

    Was confident pre game, now not so much..

    JJ isn’t a bad sub option. He can play wing mid half forward or half back. And he’s definitely closest to our 22.

    Is this game scheduled for 7.50 because

    Qland is still living in the last century and refuse to have daylight savings time?

    I feel sick 🤮

    First time since last year’s finals that I feel genuinely sick with nerves about a game. 
    Things matter again. I don’t like it.

    I hope Tracca steps up tonight. He's been OK but he's not playing at his best.

    And it seemed he was given that much time in the middle last week.

    I think we can and will win but as nervous as anything, the Pinot is not helping might have to move onto the Shiraz and see if that helps.

    With the whole fam in Covid ISO, it feels eerily similar to the final round 2021.
    I'm hoping for something a little less traumatic on the heart. Go Dees. Go big time.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
