Before it's all said and done I'd love to see Joel get a shot up forward. I've still got that 2019 pre season form in my head. 

One game.  Which it would appear you didn't watch

    Mad a car trip from north east Vic to the Gabba for the game, just wondering what tickets we buy to make sure we are with other Melbourne supporters???

    I'm sitting in a GA area so assume I'll be surrounded by Lions fans....

    I guess the best spot would be the cheer squad, but not sure if they would be available?

    He's 27 years old and isn't locked in the best 22 even if fit after 7 years. It's a major head scratcher why he's still on the list when he can't even get on the park by now.

    Anyhoo I'm hoping we give May another week off to ensure his calf is 100%. Petty, Lever, Tomlinson are more than capable enough without him, and Gawn and others float back to help too. We need May cherry ripe for our assault on the flag later this year.

    Not being a lock in a defence that includes May, Lever, Petty, Salem, Rivers and Brayshaw is hardly a reason for delisting.

    David Astbury played in 24 games in five years from 2011-2015 and then played in three flags.

    He is a cheap list filler, that has versatility and will probably be a lot better than pick 900 in the draft.

    I think his ability to play back and forward and his athleticism is what's kept him on the list.

    The Demon Army website has some info about tickets but you're probs best placed ordering via Ticketmaster (since the Try Booking link to register interest might not be monitored this late).  Section 211? 213? are cheersquad zones :)

    Fact or conjecture??

    I understand it to be fact (from someone close enough to it all to trust).

    Having said that, he is on the plane so either someone is playing games with me or the club is playing games with Brisbane! We’ll know in about 28 hours.

    Tickets we were allocated that remained unused were sent back to the Club this morning. Your best bet would be to call the Club. Good luck with that though.

    My DA BFF/ticketing expert is looking to see if there’s any other option for you, Josh. Watch this space. 👍🏽

    We’re in Bay 213. There’s GA tickets which allow you to sit wherever but if you get there early as possible you can sit in our Bay. No oppo supporters, understandably. Not sure if there’s still any GA tickets available. I’d say there would be since the NRL match will attract more people. But if there’s no GA available, your last resort is to ring the Club.

    This is right DP, all DA-allocated tickets that weren’t booked were returned to the Club this morning. However, if someone does buy a GA ticket and gets there early they’re very welcome to sit in our Bay or the bay next to ours. Strictly Dees fans only, of course.

    Please do the right thing and contact Action Jackson asap Walking and let him know about this arrangement.

    It's a win win as his 24 hour plus wait will be worthwhile plus he won't just keep the seats in your bay warm.... they'll be red hot by the time the game starts! 👍🏻

    His athletic ability would be such a weapon for our team but unfortunately we just barely see it due to injury.

    Feel for him and fingers crossed he can get a good run at it.

    He is athletic once on the move Dazzle but i watched him closely against the Hawks last season and he was easily beaten to the drop of the ball on most occasions and unable to kill the ball very often aside from the occasional big bombs.

    I think some are fooled by his running / athletic capability when he gets some momentum but off the mark he's well behind many forwards with any sort of speed over the first few meters.

    I reckon some opps might know this also and would look to exploit this weakness, especially by looking to go through any forward with even a bit of decent burst on the lead.

    Thanks for the info mate. We were planning on just rocking up and buying tickets 🤷🏽‍♂️ we have a country family membership but not sure that'll help with a Gabba game. Either way we'll be there

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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.
