Of course if Port tank then they will end up 4th and avoid going to Brisbane.

I'd say they will have a bit more winning chance at Gabba than playing against pies at MCG.

    I scratch my head every Thursday night at selection time. Just got to have faith in the Match Committee.

    So who covers May? And can we win it without Gawn? 
    I know we can but it’s a risk not worth taking IMO

     

    Richmond had a whole season basically to adjust to Rance being out. Very different if he does the knee in round 23.

    Tomlinson would have to cover May and we've got a pretty handy 2nd ruckman ready to go of Gawn goes down.

    Positive vibes from here on now.

    It will be good to see Disco get a run even though I think Tomo has been serviceable.

    Don't know why Laurie was picked for a single game - and he wasn't too bad (but not exciting) and needs to find his feet at senior level - so should have been given another run. None of our small forwards had impact on last week's game and he was just as quiet as Kozzie and Kade.

    Wandered down to my local for a feed and a few pre-game pints. Ended up at table 31 which I am taking as a great omen.

    Welcome back Bayley! Go Dees!

    • 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.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
