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

 

Hope it all goes smoothly, we need every bit of support!

    Great ins. And TMac named as well.

    Full strength other than Salem. Lions won't know what hit them.

    Edit: forgot about Kossie. obviously will come straight back in post suspension.

    Got to feel for Tomlinson, but if May is available then clearly he goes in, and if Fritsch is also available then there's not much of a case to shuffle any key defender forward.

    Presumably Melksham will be sub again as we've added more height with the changes anyway, plus he is so close to 100 games he can probably taste the Menevit tablets already.

    Terrible ins 😅

    Gotta feel for Tomlinson, he played so well and deserved another go.

    Fingers crossed May's calf doesn't blow up.

    That is one very very strong looking side. 

    It sure is.  I wonder who would go out to make way for Pickett and Salem, who are both surely in our best side.

    McVee and Chandler I'd say, sadly... though I worry about Harmes at times but I'm just glad I'm not a coach or selection committee trying to figure it out lol

    It's probably one of the best 22 we've seen since flag with Salem and Pickett really the only glaring outs. 

    Interesting to see that we have got the same 4 umpires as last week for this game.

    I'm good with those ins. Feel for Tommo bit he's put his name right in the frame now.

    I think Chandler has shown enough to stay in, as you mentioned, Harmes I’m not completely sold on…he’s sort of lost a specific spot and is behind others in terms of midfield minutes…tough gig that’s for sure

    Darcy, Darragh, and Dayne.

    Brisbane's ins look like someone tried to cheat on a word puzzle game.

    Meanwhile, our ins could each stake a claim to being in the proverbial best six at almost any club. It is a little scary.

    At some point this season our whole team is going to have an 'up' game on the same day and it simply won't matter who the opposition is. (Although personally I'd like to see our two games against Hawthorn reach a combined margin over 200)

    Tommo would be in the first six picked in every other team this week.

    One more time 😂😜

    • 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.
