I’ve had some bad doses of man flu as well.

But if Clarry is training as reported (away from the group), it can’t be that bad.

That’s what I thought as well. Did I also hear that he actually showed up to training as well? I mean if you have the flu, you ain’t getting out of bed, let alone  rocking up to training.

    It's a home game so should have GA access on your membership.

    One can just tolerate the GA seating allocated to members, but if you get up for a coffee or snack, or even go outside of the ground for a cigar (and your chauffeur delivering the cheese platter from the the boot of the Roller in the car park), whatever seat you initially chose will be gone and those selected by no-one will be the only vacancies. It would be most acceptable if in future football seasons the MFC demanded first-level frontal seats for Members GA (instead of FA) entry. We could all get together, then, and swap French bries, camemberts and other acceptable nibbles for the upwardly mobile citizens without flaw.

    You show excellent taste Deemania and obviously understand the laws governing the status of the riff raff.

    You would be a fine citizen of Romsey.

    Great looking team on paper this week really should win pretty easily (assuming Gawn and Oliver are ok)

    McDonald dropped?

    Must mean Petty is going forward again. 
    I guess no Lynch for the Tigers and Lever back is allowing us to do that. 
     

    My guess is also that Gawn will play most of the game at FF. Lowers the risk with the knee injury and gives us a proper focal point up forward.

    Good to see Jordon in the 22.

    An interesting group to choose a new sub from:  Laurie, Schache, Dunstan, D. Turner...

    Thought the same thing Jaded. Petty, JVR and Max must be the tall forwards. I like it. Lots of marking strength in that group.

    Good opportunity for JVR to take control of the forward line. 

    Will be interesting to see how he goes about it. 

    Good luck young fella.

    If McDonald can't hold down a spot with BBB out he must just about be heading for the exit. Not sure of his contract status, 1 year?

    Weird....Thursday TMac named in team and Schache can't make squad

    Saturday... no TMac and Schache named as emergency

    Perhaps TMac’s back is stuffed from copping a knee in it last week

    Dropping Tmac was the right choice. It had to be done and I think unfortunately for him he just spends his days at Casey unless we're smacked with injuries.

    Don’t quite understand that logic, we are playing tall forwards made up of 2nd year player in van rooyen, a resting ruck and a unproven key back swinging fwd. All over a dedicated key fwd who kicked 4 goals only 2 games ago. Sure Tmac isn’t the bees knees but that lineup is asking for trouble.

    • 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?
