    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.

    Will Milkshake be in the starting 22 or sub?

    Starting 22.

    Jordon listed as sub again.

    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!

    Great idea! We should take orders like coffees :P

    Melksham over JJ… oh yeah… ok… sure… why not…

    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.

    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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
