Yikes. So when Tmac is rucking we have no tall forwards.

    Joel Smith will ruck IMO

    Tmac can’t get off the ground.

    Just when I was just starting to come around again..

    We went in last week with one less tall in defence and that proved costly and now we're going in with one less tall with no genuine tall up forward when Max needs a rest.

    Yikes..

    Grundy is named as an emergency with Hibberd Laurie and Schache but if he can't get a game this week it is bye bye. 

    Guessing Hibberd will get the Sub roll.

    Huh, I thought Grundy would come in for JVR. Well there you go. 
     

    Edit: first said TMAC not JVR

    Jordon😪. I hope Grundy is the sub because we might need him but regardless, his non-selection in the 22 makes it completely clear the club is happy for him to move on.

    It’s as if our supporter base has no understanding of football. Who plays ruck when Gawn is off????

    Gee mate. It's almost like you have no understanding of football

    This creates challenges for Carlton’s backline in match ups and forces us to lower our eyes… seems like I’m alone but like it a lot

    No Grundy is so dumb.

    No idea why Hibberd has been dropped, he was excellent last week but assume he will at least be the sub.

    Jordon no thanks.

    I like it create a bit of chaos going forward with smalls, plus they are all runners so can push up the ground and help

    Guess you just have to have faith in the section committee but so far this year Jordan has failed every-time he has been picked and Schache "granted only emergency" can't even play well at Casey.

    Mmmm, you don't think both parties came to an arrangement 6 weeks ago (if not longer)... they're not NOT discussing with him, nor are the 'signaling' to him.

    It’s a good move. No point bring in another tall if we just play the same way. May as well bring in someone who can hit a target inside 50.

    Is anyone else frustrated with Van Rooyen and annoyed that's he's out due to stupidity?

    I know it's his first year but he has gone some silly things this year and when our forward line is falling down he puts himself out with a silly elbow to the chin which he didn't need to do.

    • 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.
