Clearly we’re the richest team in the land

    Why not? Give him every chance to play. He is obviously very close 

    He is the best defender in the Competition

    "Why fly him up then?"

    May will be in the coaches box again.

    Not concerned about this. Tommo was good last week and probably unlucky to be dropped.

    Happy for May to take all the time he needs to be 100%

    Grundy is the main man tonight. Lot of teams have to get used to him in the forward line.

    Thanks very much for you help mate. Only tickets we could get are top their but above you guys at least, gate 8.

     

    By red time in the last they'll all have left so I can bring kids down the bottom 😂

    Given you’re at the game, I’ve got the pork belly on for you.

    You really think that the Lions coaching dept will be in a mad panic when they see Tomlinson run out instead of May?

    Every coach will tell you that late changes have zero impact on the opposition's game plan.

    Every coach would plan for and around May. Him not playing will change their plans.

    They were never going to risk him. I thought it was laughable that they’ll let our third most important player, aged 30, only have a week off with a calf strain. 
    If we win tonight I also don’t think they’ll risk him next week. It’s a very very long season.

    Don’t agree. 

    He will play when he is ready, whether we win this week or not, whether we’re flying or struggling. 

    For one, next week he can hold Buddy goalless for a third straight match.

    I wonder if they looked back on that final to see what Brisbane did and what we did wrong.

    Also wonder if they had a look to see what port did right to thrash them last week

    Don't worry folks. Tommo is an able replacement. Our system will hold firm.

    Goody spoke of that during the week.

    I mean of course they won’t risk him if he isn’t right. But I think if we win and he is right to go they might still choose to give him one more week just to be extra extra cautious.

    Such a nice feeling knowing we’ve got Tommo as a replacement.

    The club’s depth is going to pay dividends come finals.

    When May is ready to go, he will play.

    Next week Lance is going to play..

    I’m nervous. Not going to lie. 
    Brisbane are a hell of a lot better than they showed last week. They are also a much much better team than the Dogs.

    If we are as good as we think we are, we win this in a canter.

    • 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.

    • 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?
