    JVR to play at his home soil. 4 goals for sure 🔥🔥🔥.

    I imagine he will invite all the people from his hometown 😆

    IN: Kysaiah Pickett

    OUT (to be sub): Spargo or ANB

    Brown Out, Pickett in.

    Would like to see Viney out for Howes, but not sure Jack would get dropped being captain. I feel he is probably our biggest watch over the next few weeks. Disposal poor, decision making poor. JJ is a much better 3rd midfield option and Koz back will squeeze Jack out.

    Absolutely no idea what changes they make, a couple of thoughts: 

    IN: Pickett
    OUT: Sparrow

    JJ, Gus to have more mins inside

    IN: Pickett
    OUT: Hibberd

    Jordon to have stints at half back or Petty back to defence? 

    Really can't see them dropping BBB

    Kozzie in hard to drop anyone from today's game. Someone is going to be stiff. Melk junk time supersub may be left out

    Eagles players going down like flies.

    McGovern, Cripps, Shuey and Witherdan all unlikely next week. 
     

     

    Let's get the Casey boys for a nice Perth visit and rest our AFL team 😆

    The season is a marathon, not a sprint. We need to peak when it matters. We're not losing next week, so why not start rotating the list a little bit and giving a few blokes a rest next week. Will refuel the batteries and ensure we can go the distance. We have the depth and need to use it. It's what hurt us last season in the end.

    let's wait and see what the medical report is on sideshow bald first

    if he's out i still like our structure with three talls up front - sideshow, roo, and petty - so if one of them is out then plugger mac gets another opportunity more than likely

    pickett is obviously an in, most likely for melksham, with one of jj or sparrow - probably jj - sliding to the sub

    Brown should have a week off regardless of whether he’s injured or not. Another week to look at Petty and JVR up forward and we can always bring Tmac back. 
    We are heading into a softer patch of the draw and we need to take opportunities to rest our older and most important players.

    100% agree. The 3rd tall is the Ruck pinch hitter. 

    We also need to get some games into Turner, should be our 3rd tall of Petty plays up forward.

    Kosi for Hibberd. Petty to go back. Another possible out is Sparrow (just 10 touches) but I feel like he was vital in getting centre bounce clearance momentum back.

    No way can Harmes replace JJ. Jordon was immense today.

    Think melksham is a lock for sub until he hits 100mfc games, he's on 97 now.

    why would anyone give AF if he gets to 100? he already got to 200 games

    • 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?
