Interested to see if Spargo gets some midfield time, since Viney is out, and I think he is the best like for like swap.

TMac already in full gear having set shots from different angles. 

And nailing them!

Who is JJ in for?

 

Still 40 mins to start time and this is already a big crowd. People streaming in steadily. The atmosphere is already awesome!

You haven’t seen it happen? Well then that must mean it never happens.

If it happened it would be picked up by cameras and blokes would be getting rubbed out. Simple really....

It doesn't happen because no one is going out there deliberately stomping on other players foot. 

To think that the club won't release information regarding Bayleys foot because it might instigate opposition players deliberately stepping on his foot is plain laughable. 

My last comment on this. It's game day mode for me now.

Is JVR, Woey and Laurie confirming to play or did they play the earlier game??

Keen to see SoW play.

    Laurie suited up in the change rooms. 

    Woey looks like he’s the sub in the indigenous training tshirt. 

    JVR sitting on the floor on the side of the rooms without shoes and socks on. Assume he’s not playing.

    After mainly playing VFL practice match last week and now this, you’d assume JVR isn’t playing round 1. BBrown and TMac have held their place.

    Might come on in the second half

    I’m pretty sure this game is match conditions meaning no resting players with a replacement except the sub. 

    Oh right

    Please.. This isn't the 80's. Lots of AFL players play with sore ankles and not once have I seen an incident where a player has deliberately stomped on their foot simply to exploit them.

     

    Totally agree, some people need to toughen up, it’s a tough physical game, that’s what we love about it

    It is extremely hot 

    I hope there is no cap on rotations today in this heat.

    • 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.
