Big fella putting in a break out performance this weekend off the back of his 0 disposal effort last week.

    I don’t mean to labour the point, but Lobb’s accurate goal kicking at one end vs Jefferson’s inability to convert at the other is the difference between the sides at the moment. Given who Casey have unavailable, it’s a bloody good effort to still be within a few goals

    9 listed Melbourne players v 15 Dogs. Fair bit more experience with the dogs too, a lot of our listed players are young guys with next to no experience.

     

    much better than last week.

    Jefferson shouldn’t have given that off but why would the skipper Mitch White even call for it? Should’ve told him to settle. 

    Maybe because he has missed 6 and White would like a win.

    Spicer played very well in the Norf match at Casey last season as well

    No quality crumbing smalls.  While i recognise we might be wanting Moniz to do some sort of apprenticeship down back, there are times you have to recognise when to do that.

    With so many AFL listed players out, today is not the day imho.  Should be playing a quasi HHF / crumbing role.

    • 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.
