    Let me guess, he could replace Spargo?

    It NEVER even enterered my head... Seriously though, I think he could be worth a Punt!

    If they never drop ANB, Aarts would never get a game with us. 

    We have to try out Laurie and Howes and I think Woey will be better than him anyway.

    Yeah couldn't think or a worse player in Arts to put on a list as depth. Remember this game clearly.

    Would have rather kept Baker

    I believe we will only consider delisted players to be put on the rookie list and I think we need ruck types and good tall project players since most midfield and small forward positions we have multiple players at this stage.

    Could do a lot better 

    Stark  even with baggage a far better  player and a match winner.

    Remember his hit ( tackle) on Vines on Anzac Eve 2019 !

    I think he's got something but it wouldn't be MFC as the team benefiting from his services.

    After something like that occurs, a player is haunted.

    Better still why don't we delist every player every and just enlist every player that is delisted by other clubs, I reckon that would satisfy picket fence.

    Before we try out anyone they have to earn it 

    Laurie, Howes and Woewodin haven’t yet ticked that box IMO

    If Laurie can improve his fitness he might get a look next year - he does have skill just not convinced he is currently an upgrade on anyone in the 1s

    Howes I’m not convinced will make it - I know he has plenty of people here that think he’s going to - very happy to be proved wrong 

    Woey is a good honest footballer - good enough to be a regular AFL player ? - next year will tell us a lot more I think

    Please expand on your opinion on Howes.

    He did ok in his first few Casey games before the stress fracture took him out for the majority of the season.

    What have you seen to write him off already?

    I’m not writing anyone off simply saying I’m not convinced he will make it as an AFL footballer 

    There are hundreds of guys that a good footballers but never quite reach the level required 

    Howes is neat in his ball handling and disposal but I he doesn’t get it enough at VFL level to suggest to me he can impact at AFL level

    Does he have any significant stand out qualities ? Pace , evasion, disposal , marking , physical presence? If he has they have been shown in cameos only hence - so I’m not convinced - as I said very happy to be proven wrong and we won’t know until the end of next season or the one after that (assuming he has no more injury concerns)

    • 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.
