Out: Salem, Melksham, Harmes 

In: good question... Bowey, ???

 

 

 

 

 

Why are people dropping Salem? In a team full of butchers and dumb footballer his poise stands out...

IN: Bowey, JVR
OUT: ANB, Melk

I acknowledge they're unlikely to bring Bowey in for a forward but anyone with a pulse is an upgrade of ANB at the minute

JVR in for the steak bandit

Do we risk McDonald?

 

Don’t have a choice need someone with a brain 🧠 

1st change. 
Anb. Out. Was terrible all night. 
Bedford. In. 
 

2nd change

Salem out. 
Bowey in

3rd change 

Melksham out 

Tmcd in.  Have to risk him. If not, it’s JVR 

 

Back them in. 

Unless Harmes is suspended which i don't think he will be. just show a video of Patty cripps


Tricky proposition given the way the team played against the Lions last week.

Some of tonight's duds were reasonable or better against the Bears, vis a vie Melksham, ANB, Brown and Brayshaw. Whaddayado?

Goodwin has no form for making changes and I can't see him rolling the dice at this stage of the season.

If I had the say it'd be:

Out - Salem. ANB

In - Bowey,TMAc

Play the same team and get the same result.

Out: ANB, Melk, Harmes (suspension)

In: Chandler, JVR, and potentially Dunstan for Harmes 

Let this team regroup and find form against the lions. Maybe consider tmac for Melks if he’s fit enough but that’s highly doubtful 


Bedford Dunstan McDonald Bowie in ANB, Spargo, Harmes ANB Salem out

Look I can see min changes but Dunstan could well be in the mix.

Like it

OUT: Melksham, Rivers

IN: JVR, Bowey

And swap Gus  and Harmes' roles, both were poor.

As a big ANB fan, he has to go out

Melk out also

TMac in and Jordan

Harmes/Tracc share defensive fwd

Jordan is out for 4 weeks, he just got foot surgery 


TMac won't be ready we needed next week for him to have another game, maybe the prelim if we make it.

Nibbler out, Bedford in

Milkshake out, TMac in

 

Entire forward line aside from Fritsch needs to have their positions up for grabs. BBB is not the long term answer, but wow he was done no favours with the quality of our forward 50 entries (deep to the pocket, rinse & repeat).

As for our smalls, non existent both offensively and defensively. No one was front and centre when it came in, nor was there any pressure to keep it in.

 

I wonder when the match committee will realise how badly out of form ANB has been?

I have a gut feeling they'll make no changes unless there's a forced one.

Gus has one poor game (by his standards) and you want to move him from the middle after 4 great games in the same role? Glad you are not the coach.

  • 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.
