The Pike and Love Shack situations are barely in the same suburb, let alone ball park.

    Its a long season and I very much doubt TMac and BBB at 30+ will be right to play all 22 games + finals (hopefully)...so we will need Josh at some stage 

    Yes.  Highly likely one of them will get injured or drop form. Schache has an opportunity to prove he is more than just a depth player as some call him.

    If we are being honest he is like Weid but with a bit more versatility and adaptability. Can play fwd or back He can actually take a one grab mark which was Weid's downfall IMO so all in all its a slight upgrade

    Yes.  He's an upgrade on Weideman.  I think his best position is half-back.

    I think that part is innate, very difficult to develop it

    I used to know someone connected with the Bulldogs FD who told me that Schache was the least competitive AFL footballer he had seen. Sounds harsh, hope he's proven wrong at a 3rd club

    Yep, but two clubs have already let him go.  That's a bit of red flag for me.

    Red and blue flag sounds just right

    Watts was ahead of your other failures to compete. He at least had skill to back up what attributes he had.

    Which really made him all the more disappointing

    Not a lot of love for Josh’s debut for the red & the blue.

    A return of 3 & 4 goals in his only outings for Casey has me optimistic on a strong showing against the Kangas.

    Good luck Josh - 3rd time lucky

    The low expectations could surprise a few. I’m glad he doesn’t have his No 2 draft pick over hanging him. I hope he does well.

    I hope he kicks a few, he has talent and can play in multiple positions. He played well against Jackson last year and had the better of him in the ruck and when Jackson went forward.

    Good luck to the lad. Weids is playing like a man at the bombers so I have hope Shaq will reinvent himself too.  

    Who would have thought we'd line up without Ben Brown or Tmac in the F50 without injuries being an issue. I'm stoked that the FD are taking a look at the whole squad and aren't scarred to mix things up.

    T Mac has been bog ordinary this seaon bar 1 game vs Meth coke magoos! He wont be around next year. BBB was excellent sans his back injury and should go around for another year again. Both Jake Melksham and Hibbo will not be around next year. And by the way I hope Shacky Attacky kicks a bag this week.

    Was expecting he would have beefed up his upper body if not by his 2nd club, then his 3rd club. Needs the extra kgs in my opinion. Apparently mfc asked him to also but can't see any  evidance of it at training. His form in vfl late last year and now this year has been exceptional though. Good time to take a look at him.

    • 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.
