Not saying it will happen, but on SEN today Dermie suggested trying Tomlinson forward. He was part time coach at GWS when Tommo played there.

Gawn to also rest at FF

Well, maybe, but the ‘idea’ of that is better the ‘reality’ of that.

I would prefer Lauren Pearce in the ruck before T-Mac 

I would have Daisy Pearce in ruck over T-Mac.

It definitely is. Unless we want to see more hangtime entries this week.

I thought Grundy was valued at our club??? Those words will haunt Goodwin & could go down as the biggest flop of a trade & only Melbourne could manufacture this! Can’t help injuries but if Gawn is on one leg who will be out back up ruck???

Tommo in is a bit baffling to me.  Could he play fwd and sit on Weitering?

Tigers won a premiership with a wingman as a backup ruck.

I thought he’d be a moral for this week. 
Someone here mentioned his attitude wasn’t that great post demotion, maybe that alongside the rumoured Sydney deal has something to do with it

Hibberd sub for mine.

Jesse Motlop. He'd be in the 22 for suspended Martin.

Mate I smashed them last weekend. It was tough but I really stood up…..until I didn’t!

Damn...  plan B... the emergency  Shiraz !!!

All this selection palaver neglects consideration of one thing

Viney to spend the first quarter committing football acts and wipe out their whole team .

  • 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?
