Salem was non existent today & Bowey not much better, we need Hibberd imo, proven big game performer & our best lock down defender.

 

Salem had a hard tag on and Bowey played well, not sure what game you were watching.

    At the end of the day you really only want to make a change if you have too when you’re consistently winning & especially leading into finals.

    Tell Tommo that.........

    Words can’t describe just how pumped I am for this game. 

    Last time we played Collingwood in a final was 1989 at Waverley and we got the W.

    We also rolled them in the 88SF, a fantastic day at the G with a bumper crowd, some pre-game fisticuffs and the classic September Colliwobbles.

    I can't wait to play them again, I want to see Viney and Sparrow bulldozing them and knock them off their perch.

    Sorry I’m not trying to pick a fight, but you can’t be serious about Salem having a heavy tag, who & for what reason would he be tagged for, to stop those dinky little kicks 

    l also thought Bowey was a bit loose today

    They'll give the job to McVee and he'll do a fine job imo.

    We could play both him and McVee. Not suggesting we drop McVee but we might want to go smaller against the Pies.

    Salem has been non-existent for the last few months unfortunately. What's up with him?

    But who you are you dropping from our current defensive 6 for Hibbo?

    It can't be a tall because this is a set up that Goody has decided against since half way through the year which no coincidence that we got a run on with our wins since we started with the 3rd tall defender.

    Our defensive system is top 3 in most key defensive stats, its right up there in premiership credentials.

    If Goody likes a system that is working for us he'll rarely change it up or risk putting it out completely out of wack.

    The only reason Hibbo plays is if we lose Rivers, Salem or Bowey to injury.

    Oh god not this again. Hunter's fine. He's one of the last players they'd drop.

    In fairness, Gawn hasn't done much over the last two weeks since the Carlton game, being the sole ruckman..

    That's fine, he's still playing his role. That's all he needs to do.

    Goody has already admitted that Grundy experiment hasn't worked as what they thought it be, but again, that's fine. He'll only play if Gawn has to miss.

    Internal monologue “I [censored] hate that Hunter [censorino] rah rah and I have I have long running argument with my more successful brother in law about the Grundy trade so I gotta smash him in there, and also Hibbo for that one player I forget his name, and TMac because Grundy’s not going to take a mark soigottagethiminthere…rah”

    Unrelated but I used to like the Dana White UFC show 'Looking for a fight'. Thought it was pretty good and refreshing as Ultimate Fighter had gotten a bit boring.

    I think he’s a better kick, better overhead, can tackle, can tag, can go into the midfield & doesn’t duck his head.

    Please add May, Oliver and Fritsch to your outs to make this even more realistic.

    Do you think Melksham, Turner & Laurie will play?

    Hunter won’t get dropped I’ll admit that & Grundy won’t get another gig, it’s a forum so let’s not all get to angry over people’s opinions

    • 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.

    • 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?
