I always thought they had a good list. The backline could crumble at any time and there are some plodgers. The recruitment of Harmes is a bit weird as is the 3 year contract but we will take it.

You can’t make up your mind Wdee re Tommo or Turner. I think it’s about time we hit games into Disco with an eye always on the opposition if they have a genuine beast in their attack, which May need the bigger body. 

58er, you seem to be saying that Disco Turner has a bigger body than Tommo!?!

They're both about 194-195cm but Tommo is 95 or 96kg and Turner is only 87 or 88kg. I think Tommo's bigger.

If you read it correctly I am saying  Turner should be preferred unless on the odd occasion we may need a bigger body ie Tommo for any Beasts. 

I fully understand Disco is not as big bodied as Tommo hence the comment covering this option.

Thanks any how Rob Mac.

I have him behind Chandler so it's touch and go whether he makes the round 1 team. Pickett is out and maybe Smith will see him on the team.

Not sold on Tomlinson need to see his form in the pre-season.

Depending on what happens to Smith Chandler will be the 22nd man or sub.

Spargo will be a sub or emergency.

  • 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?
