Let's face it, a lot depends on three players in Kozzie, Jvr and Bbb. The first have been out of form and the latter played very little footy .

But like the Pies game, I think we've got this for some reason.

    Hope we win in the ruck - no Grundy may change the psyche of Max

    Max has struggled with tall, gawky ruck opponents in the past

    Limit the influence of Neale and that other young kid (whose name escapes me - looks fairly suited to owning a long sword and drinking mead)

    This guy?

    Goals are worth their weight in this one, imagine if Nibbler kicks 2, is that worth a nudie run?

    Tonight would also be the perfect time for @picket fence 's favourite player - "Spargypants" - to bob up and snag 2 or 3!

    The good news is that Kozzie could not have possibly played a worse career game than last week, so that can only be a positive in terms of our scoring avenues.

    I'm feeling good vibes about Kozzie tonight. Performs well against the Lions, in fact he's kicked more goals on them than any other team.

    Oh, you have NO IDEA how much I want this to happen!

     

    Going tonight with three lads,

    not normally super confident usually pessimistic but quite confident about tonight’s game    Not sure why but I think one goal or two a quarter better than them.

    hope so anyway.  Go Dees 

    will sit behind goals western stand end 

    Go Dees warm the night up

    Totally! I mean, it’s not like those security guards are gonna catch you.

    Incidentally, re the guy who did the bare-chested pitch invasion a few weeks ago, the media reported that he was caught and fined. Yeah nah, he was on a tram home before those guards even made it to the boundary fence. 😆

    Unless of course Jonny’s out in the middle…

    Really can't afford to have Geelong within two points or Bombers equal points as us. We play well at the MCG and the Lions don't. Bring it home and take another season scalp. I keep expecting Kozzie to kick a few and I'm convinced this is the night for it. Hopefully both he and Spargo. Trac is slotting them nicely and Jvr, Milk and Bbb are great set shots. We are all keen to see a fwd structure that kills it. This is the business end now. I want to smash this mob. Let's keep those rotations through the middle with Trac spending time up forward. Including Kozzie and Rivers...maybe even Salo.

    Can we recruit him as I feel we didn't replace Hunt?

    This Bairstow character is getting a bit of airtime lately, maybe I should watch!

    Love how the [censored] has his arm in the air like he's winning.....your being carried off the ground like a rag doll at an international sports event fgs.

    I might add that I think that was Johnny's only catch for the series this far.

    Now is the time: mongrel, space, leading, absolute support for all, aggressive defence. Dees by 20 pts.

    Hope we get a decent crowd. Seems like more than a few dlanders are going. Been a while now since we've played at home too. Let's get comfy and win these next three games there.

    Looking at the fixture it's quite conceivable that Power finsh first. Technically we could finish third  as our run home is fairly soft.

    Have to win CPs, stoppages and ground balls. Do that and I can't see us losing.

    Replacing a ruckman with a genuine forward changes the balance from last week. It will be very interesting to see whether this means Petracca spends more time midfield or whether we use the opportunity to keep him forward to see how well he melds with Brown, van Rooyen and the others.

    From the nominated emergencies, I'd be shocked if anyone other than Smith is the sub.

    • 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.

      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.

      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?
