    I think we should only change the sub. Jordon for Laurie. The rest stay hopefully Roo's suspension gets downgraded. I can't see who we could replace Roo with maybe go small and pick Spargo.

    Just had the realisation that James Harmes is going to come in for Angus Brayshaw and I've now vomited everywhere. If we are going out in straight sets, please don't pile on the misery of watching Harmes torch teammates, try his dusty impression before getting pinged and miss directly in front set shots at crucial times in the again.

    3. Have a forwardline with, wait for it, forwards 

    Yes like renowned forward Harrison Petty or longtime halfback flankers Jake Melksham and Bailey Fritsch?

    Will Carlton be forced to wear their clash jumper next week? Given we had to wear ours against the Pies

    They were in 2011 vs West Coast

    So we go a man down without Gus? Cool idea. Bamboozle them.

    I won't celebrate an injury to anyone but thank god Goodwin doesn't have a choice.

    If we as supporters want to help our players the plan is pretty simple. If you went to the G on Thursday you must turn up again. Better still buy a ticket for a mate. Doesn’t matter if they don’t barrack for the Dees, so long as they hate Carlton and are very loud.

    The bull [censored] free kicks in Carlton’s favour, from the umpires (AFL) need to stop next week.  The critical calls against Sydney and the non calls for Sydney was laughable.

    Out: Roo Gus Laurie (sub)

    In: grundy, spargo Jordan (sub) 

    Spargo comes in to get kozzy more into the midfield and let Trac spend more time inside 50

    .... or even non forwards who can disperse leads so that it its impossible to find a pack of 20 to kick it towards.

    Harmes season ending injury today I believe.

    Yes I know the narrative about Schache but we signed him for another year and TMac, really, are we confident he will win a one on one battle. At least Schache is a tall forward so could be novel to have one of those in our forward line given JvR is out.

    Remind me to ping you early next year when Petty kicks 0.3 (two out on the full) after having the ball kicked on his head 21 times.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      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?
