    Sparrow and Harmes in. No Woey unless he is the sub or there's a late change

    Woey won't be the sub. Demons never name debutantes as the sub.

    Poor JJ ... he really is on the outer. Thought he was a certainty to be in the 22 ahead of Harmes.

    Walters being injured is something of a bonus. He's the type of player who cuts us up.

    Good to see Harmesy back in, you would think Gus starts on the wing.

    Well we can kiss Jordan goodbye at the end of the year!

    I would guess Rivers or even Harmes go to the wing before Gus.  But who knows

    Agree and super surprised JJ didn't get the nod ahead of Harmes. I thought his Casey game was better than Harmes and that he would be a no-brainer to replace Hunter on the wing. JJ is definitely on the outer 😟

    Oh well it looks like we’re going to lose a very solid future 200 game player at years end

    Sad to see you go JJ

    So Walters is out injured and no-one comes in?

    It's not that hard to provide the ins and out guys! I'm sure this means the sub from last week comes in, so we have to go look who was the sub?  jesus.  just tell us who is in and out of the 22!  

    I couldn't give a rats about the sub!

    Can you guarantee who will ?

    I’ll give the FD one more go at the JVR-TMac set up, and the no-third-tall defender set up. 

    But neither have me convinced and I’ll be more than a little peeved if we lose in circumstances which suggest a different tall mix might have made a difference.

    It means last week’s sub, Fyfe, is “in”. 

    AFL has to change the rules to mean clubs name 23 plus three emergencies. If the sub is credited with a game, the sub should be named alongside the 22.

    I'd be happy to see a bit more of Rivers in the middle.

    I agree about Gus. He doesn't look fit enough for an on-ball or wing role

    I'm glad we kept the fwd line the same, we can't keep swapping T Mac and BB around.  And Chandler and JVR have been our best fwd options and although have been poor the last couple, should bounce back.  They are young and will have quiet games, especially when our midfield is being belted

    Yep. I don't see why he'd want to stay.

    I like Sparrow and I think Harmes might have helped us against Yartapuulti if he’d run with Butters. One or both of them will probably come in next week. 

    Ahem.

    I would play both Gus and Rivers out of the middle. Harmes can play forward or he could be used to tag Brayshaw.

    • 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.
