    Yeah well, coz I greatly respect and love Clarry Choo Choo and the sauce, of info in hindsight better to keep my mouth shut, for a change! But nothing sinister I can say!🤐

    Fair enough, mate. Hopefully it's on the positive side of the ledger.

    You see I bl@@dy told youse all. Don't recruit any Western Stralians. Even from the middle of nowhere. Go home factor has struck already. Makes Jackson look like a career Demon. 😎

    Thanks for the report @picket fence.. certainly appreciated for the likes of myself who live in a different state and can't attend.

    I'm interested around your comment with Josh Schache? Does he playing the roaming CHF role using his high endurance levels or is he poaitioned as as the stay at home forward? Then obviously playing as the 2nd ruck role as well which we'll need for Max. 

    Also, how was Ollie Sestan during that session?

    Thanks Dazz it appears that it is a combo of both BUT stay at home he is covering a lot of territory running up the ground even as far as almost CHB before sprinting back to forward line. If this is the plan, it might, just might Click!

    Solid and relaible as always, also Bill Laurie showed a bit today as did Jake Bowey. Sheesh competition for places will be at an all time high with the quality we are assembling!

    Thanks for the report PF, but you must have missed the Demonland community memo - apparently we have zero depth and 2024 is already a write-off.

    January footy media!

     

    They made a story up about Salem (midfield push) as an excuse to a) bring Clayton into the story and b) show that salem has an injury (because they couldn’t  just say ‘he has an injury concern’ because the club would’ve said they have zero concern).

    was he with the backline or midfield group?

    Many thanks again, Mr Fence.  🐍

    From the glowing report I can see the only reason to place bets for 2024 would be as to who will be runners up in our GF slaughter. 🙄

    I like the sounds of a team with Yze, Brown, Viney, White, Woey in it. Don’t suppose Gaz, Ox or Neita  had male footy progeny at all?

    Lyon has 3 adult sons that couldn't or wouldn't make the grade.

    Neita has 2 daughters probably both aged under 10.

    Ox has a teenage son (and daughter I think). Does anybody know if he's jumping up the ranks or even plays footy?

    • 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?
