OUT: Schach
IN: Brown

Suspect it'll be Petty (pending concussion protocols) rather than Brown but would prefer the experience of BBB

    Ideally I'd have.

    In: Brown, Petty

    Out: Schache, Hibberd

    Petty to play back. Hibberd rested.

    I'd prefer Laurie to Harmes but much of a muchness when it comes to the sub.

    Pretty moot until Casey's game tomorrow though.

    Wonder if Maysie will come under any scrutiny for his hit on Coleman Jones?

    Think BBB will need to be considered.

    Not a chance… he hit the ball first and the player ran into his forearm.

    Great post. 

    Like the idea of resting hibbo. 

    Sun's aren't the easy beats that they've been in the past but should be a win if the boys front up with the right attitude. 

    I know Spargo is rated highly by the FD but I can't see an obvious reason to get him in based on tonight's from

    Petty or Brown/TMac for Schache. 

    If Dunstan plays well again he may get the sub spot at worst. Or maybe Jordon’s spot? I felt Jordon was poor tonight. 

    Not sure what we do with Spargo if he’s fit.

    No Touk. If we don’t [censored] this in I’d be very very very disappointed

    I think Petty for Schache is likely, even though I'd like to see it as just Petty for Hibberd, and Petty going back.

    Spargo is a potential sub option.

    no guarantees on petty given that they gave spargo some extra time to recover, but you'd think they'd be the two likely ins

    i still really like the notion of the tall defensive premiership trio of may-lever-petty being back together, but it's hard to see how unless pig is sore and misses with his achilles, in which schache may hold his spot forward unless sideshow bald or plugger mac turn it on in the vfl

    Goody said post match that all indications are that Petty will get thru the protocol fine. Must have been a mild concussion and he must be feeling good.

    I can see Hibbo being managed soon.

    Yep, and Rowell has had an underwhelming season so far. We've got the advantage in the guts.

    The Demons are heading back on the road for the fourth time this season to take on the Gold Coast Suns at Heritage Bank Stadium in a bid to win their third game on the trot. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The most important thing to look at here is the weather report. Last time we headed up north for a game, we felt the heat and had trouble handling the footy. Let’s hope the team gets up there in time to acclimatize and get a decent training run on the surface of the ground.

    My Weather Ap forecast for next Saturday is sunny and 23 degrees.

    Great opportunity for his old mates to get in Mac Andrew's ear and bring him back to rightful home... Casey!

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
