So why don’t we have teams yet?

I promise you that when you turn up to the G tomorrow, you’ll see 22 Melbourne players plus a sub. Who those players are, nobody knows.

    Good question. Pies players are probably still waiting for their Telehealth consultations.

    Surely it’s the players who trained with Woey as carryover.

    JJ and Hibbo in for Harmes and Bowey.

    Would far rather see Woey in than JJ. JJ is a known: pretty competent, but no more than that. Woey is an unknown. He may be a bust but then….. maybe not.

    Hi all, 

    I have 2 level 4 tickets in the Shane Warne Stand that I’m not using tomorrow, so if anyone wants them they are free to a good home.  DM me, first in best dressed.

    That’s still insanely late, not blaming the club but Today’s games had teams confirmed on Friday.

    I suppose it matters to the club from a planning perspective. 
    Shouldn’t matter to fans, except those who gamble.

    same as last week with Bowey and Harmes out and Hibbo and JJ in, with Woey as carryover.

    Enjoy.

    Not hard to work out since we know who played for Casey today and we know who is unavailable due to injury.

    Both teams are in the same boat. I'm sure we'll have multiple plans for certain players, but we'll focus on ourselves as always.

    Collingwood's ball movement and what they try to do isn't drastically going to change from the last year of football, so it's about how our system can combat this and exploit it.

    The personnel is largely irrelevant, although we know De Goey and Sidebottom won't be playing.

    Used to matter as they had to print the Footy Record. Doesn't matter anymore.

    • 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.
