    I dislike Essendon more than any club…well maybe equal with Collingwood.

    I hope we embarrass them. We are better than them, as a team and just generally!

    Goody said that Hibberd is the only concern from the match with an Achilles injury.

    Essendon have a number of undersized KPDs so we could try to go bigger but beware the midfield that is happy just bombing it in there - it will backfire spectacularly.

    We should pump the bombers

    they’ve played hawthorn, gold coast, saints n giants…….none of them finalists from last year 

    Our elite defence and attack should definitely get the better of them!

    Keep Stringer Quiet

    Hibberd rested and Jordan into main squad. Give BBB another week off and make Dunstan the sub.

    Who should mind Stringer?  Perhaps Hibberd might have been an option if not injured.

    We have never had a good match up in the past for this type of player… de Goey same boat - but agree must keep him quiet. I think Sparrow would be a good clamp and could squeeze if he gets on a run. But it was GWS so would read much into it.

    If Viney can negate Merrett in the middle, I think Oliver & Trac vs Parish & Shiel win 8-9 / 10.

    Will be interesting to see what they do in the ruck given they have both 2m Peter and Weid out injured. They’ll be playing a shortish and more mobile forward line, which suits their game plan , but nothing that we can’t handle.

    May, he could do the job nicely.

    My thoughts exactly

    Can't see Brown coming back after T-Mac's game.

    And playing TMac and Brown in the same forwardline with Fritsch would be unwise imo given their lack of defensive pressure. (Although Fritsch has been surprising me with his chasing efforts of late).

    I think it'll be Hibberd out and Laurie in with Rivers to go back to defence.

    Laurie had a cracker in the VFL and was unlucky to go out and provides another point of difference as a mid rotation who can play forward too.

    Outs: Hibberd

    Ins: Laurie

    Am in favour of playing Laurie or Jordan full game time.  Need to build depth. Stringer a danger and need to play Redman close.  Redman is their general down back

    Stringer played deep yesterday for most of the game. Weid will be out and 2 metre Peter is still missing I believe. May would be the best matchup for him I reckon.

    If Hibbo isn't injured I want him in. But I also want Bbb up fwd.

    I have no idea who to drop.

    Maybe Hibbo is the sub.

     


    I know it's not against the crows or Port but our third game in 5 on the road? Thanks Afl.

    Why do we have this Gather round and what does it represent?

    Seriously curious.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
