Looking forward to seeing McVee and Laurie in their debut games tomorrow night. Not enough positivity around this for my liking.

    $161 for 3 people to have a reserved seat at the footy is nuts. We’ve all be fooled

    That is for sure! Who are these rancid, isolated opportunists?

    And lastly, I bet that when Bowey debuted you thought "who and why", and he turned out to be a gun and best 22 players.

    I remember getting into an argument with a poster here (can't remember who) that slammed Boweys selection. They more or less wrote him off from the start of the year because of his build stating he would get destroyed in finals. Was one of the more odd interactions I've had on here.

    I've been watching our round 23 game from last season.  The one where we were up by 66 points at half time against the Lions and playing some great footy.  If we play anywhere near that level, the Bulldogs don't stand a chance.

    Assuming Melksham who trained with the main squad at training today is the sub, the team changes from that night to tomorrow night are:-

    OUT: Hibberd, May, Hunt, Jackson, Viney, Fritsch, Jordon (came on as medi-sub for Jackson)

    IN: McVee, Tomlinson, Hunter, Grundy, Laurie, McDonald, Chandler

    I'm not going to try and mount a case either way as to which night was the better line-up because as far as I see it, it's really quite close.

    The outs are better than the ins. 

    We lose our premier defender and our premier forward.

    There are some terrific ins in Hunter, Grundy and T Mac, but I just feel the loss of May and Fritta tip the scales to last year's round 23 squad. We saw how we functioned without May in the Sydney, Collingwood (and most of Freo) losses and it wasn't great.

    Must be predicting a crowd of sub 30,000 if they're closing the top of the Ponsford.

    If they opened it up for the Melb V Freo game last year where just a couple of blokes and a dog sat up there, then surely it's opened for this one. 

    As if the top of the Ponsford is closed for Round 1? Just seems really odd.

    There was one game last year - either GWS or Freo - where they opened it by mistake and went around kicking people out at quarter time.

    Yeah layz,  it states it on the MCG website when I last checked…baffling.

    A lot of negativity with regard to the Tomlinson selection but we will not know how good or bad the selection is until the game is played. We could see Tmac and Tomlinson swapping ends if the game is going against us.  

    Will be watching a replay during a stop over in KSA.

    Go read the comments. They’re not far off. Pretty good. 

    Would have gone Turner myself but i back the FD to make the right decision.

    And best of luck Tommo. He deserves a bit more love around here given he was in AA form until he was injured in 21. And missed out on a premiership because of it.

    How could sportsbet have us as favourites?

    Bulldogs must be a huge chance now that May is also out.

    There will be alot of money going on the dogs today before the odds even up.

    I hope they know something we dont.

    Who actually cares what those parasitic blights say about us?

    • 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.
