Wow, Daniher out will change our defensive plans, but maybe effect the Lions more.

Their advantage was the talls.

We are flexible with our ability for all the backs to play either small,  medium or tall.

    Daniher out, this is the kind of massive fillip that the team needs. Lions a huge chance now.

    I would really like it to NOT be close. A win with minimal effort would be much better. 

    Yeah keep the pretence about "flicking the switch " going as long as possible

    His partner just went into labour. 

    Daniher out because his partner has gone into labor and he wants to be by her side. Noble as a partner, but gosh if it was a main Melbourne man i wouldn't be overly happy.

    Lions have gone from imv being 'too tall' in the round 23 game to not tall enough this time, without Oscar Mc and Daniher.

    Certainly makes for a different game to the last few between the two teams..

    They still control the reigns on game day. Now the squad is selected the aspects of going in unchanged is irrelevant. 

    Would prefer them to make actions then sit on their hands (which they have done in the past), if Brissy starts taking control or we need to get rolling.

    You want them to be non proactive or reactive?

    Maybe you misinterpreted my intentions, or you are holding onto something about the coaches?  

    In style, the tempo, take it on, play percentages, 

    In structure, extra players at the contest, or in defence,  push up the field from defense, crowd the ball, play one on one.

    I could keep going, I hope you get my gist.

    The coaches have to make quick decisions during the game and not just let it roll on. 

     

    Fair enough ,if Goodwin suddenly becomes a game day coach it would help for sure.

    We heard it was Max who made the winning move last yeat

    Bad timing, what a decision to make.

    Well done to Daniher to focus on nurturing his family. They have strong family bonds.

    The hero from last week is out, wonder how that changes them structurally?

    I'm with you here. They now go in smaller and we seem to have a bit of trouble with the small forwards other than Hibbo keeping Cameron quiet. Need to change our mindset in the backs now. Daniher against the likes of May is a liability. Prefer him to play but we still need to win in the guts and away we go.

    But they don't go in small.

    Fullerton is legitimate the same height as Daniher.

    • 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.
