    Wow wee…T Mac to play as many as 3 quarters in the VFL next week  according to Ralph. Our top 30 players should all be available for the QF. Happy days.

    Salem in for Cardio King ANB would be ideal, throw Bowey up forward

    But likely to be Salem for Bowey

    Realistically they are not going to throw Bowey forward for the first time in his career in a final, but I agree that ANB is sailing close to the wind.  Bowey would be very stiff to be dropped

    I suggest it will be Bowey for Salem but it  should be no change. Salem has improved last 2 games but truthfully does not deserve to get in on form since his return.

    Agree 

     

    Bowey is an obvious omission. Finals are going to be very hot and fast this year. He had momentum last year and is better for the run to start the year but anyone suggesting he is ahead of ANB or Spargo is delusional. Bowey will be around for a while but this isn't his year.

    You still upset about our midfield selection this week…surely you think Harmes, Sparrow and Viney should go out?

    Seems like Salem's place is shaky at best...

    I'd drop Sparrow in a heart beat yeah

    Just a 'corky' according to Goody in his presser. Can't imagine he'll have any issue getting up in two weeks time.

    It all worked tonight.

    salo back in probably for bowser but would be happy with no change.

    Tmac playing Magoos for a couple of games you would think to get match fit then????

    Salem in. Out. Has to be between Jordan and Bowey. Thaught Bowey played a good game tonite.

    Sportsbet offering even money that Picket Fence calls for Spargo to be dropped

    When we play good footy it's hard to make a case for many changes. Salem is arguably my favourite player but even still it's a tough call to drop bowser for him

    TMac getting back is wild. Not sure who would make way for him structurally because Milkshake has done very well. Tmac as a sub could work

    I wasn't that impressed with ANB tonight, particularly with the ball but I can't see him getting dropped. Works so hard.

    Salo for Bowey.

    Jordon was the sub so unless you intend on Salem being the sub, someone has to move from the 22 to the sub if you're dropping Jordon.

     

    Salo for Bowey assuming Salo’s healthy and has been producing kms at training prior to this soreness.

    No way am I rushing McDonald back after 3/4’s of a game.

    I think there’s a bit of a different look we can go with in the midfield and half forward. Gus on the wing a little more, Harmes on ball and forward, Tracc on ball more. But some of that will depend on opponents and the venue.

    • 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.
