    He'll be back!

    Don't mind Jake in the side today. He'll offer more than Brown if the heavens open.

    Just offers a bit more flexibility. Happy with it too.

    Walking around the mean streets of Adelaide I feel like I’ve seen a lot more Essendon paraphernalia wearing people than Dees.

    Ugh. Working in a secure environment until about 6.30. Not even phones.

    Boooooo.

    Add an extra yell for me, all right?

    I'll probably watch the game on replay anyway, so if it is a proper thriller please name the match thread 'Spoiler Alert'.

    Are there any players you’d like us to be irrationally critical of?  This is the DL Gameday thread after all, where pretty much compulsory for all posters.

    If BBB is training, hard to see him playing IMO

    Well called.


    Bowser having shots on goal from the pocket during the warmup, and nailing them.  Interesting!

    I’d prefer it the other way round myself.

    I'd love to see how he would go as HFF/small forward

    It’s JJ’s 50th and 31 year old Melksham in probably his last year, has hardly played any decent footy this season and he is preferred to JJ.

    Wow!

    Are we determined to p-ss this kid off and drive him away in his FA year? Apparently so.

    Hope Goody has had a chat with JJ to explain the rationale of the selection.

    Well I suppose Melk can have a great game and justify it, but initially it seems hard on JJ, on a small milestone game.

    Essendon haven't beaten us in Adelaide for over 150 years.  We've got this.

    Ugh.  A spot opens up and we go with Melksham over JJ, relegating Jordon to sub on his 50th game.  JJ averages 14.5 disposals this year; Melksham 3.7.  <grumpy>

    I'm guessing the rationale is replacing a forward with another forward rather than a mid.

    It is positional and role.

    Melksham plays an undersized key forward in our system. Jordon is a midfielder.

    I think we should be rotating the sub role but that’s a separate issue.

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.
