    Fullarton or Verrall in the squad... I'd prefer Verrall but I think Fullarton.

    I also think he won't make the final cut

    BBB and McAdam for game day

     

    Yep

    Fullarton and not Verrall

    Salem being listed is interesting.

    With Langdon out Hunter will be wondering why he has missed out

    So could be McAdam, Brown and Salem for JVR, Turner and Langdon. 

    For them, McGovern stays in despite sore ribs and Waterman is back. Take them lightly at your own peril.

    You would think that Salem will play.

    If they wanted to give him a light run there's a Casey game on Saturday. He's not making the trip as an emergency.

    My guess on the final interchange is

    McAdam, Salem Brown and Woewodin with Tholstrup as sub

    Does Fullarton play? No vision of him with the group being cheered for his first game. Personally I hope it's Tomlinson.

    Who plays wing? Hunter completely out of favour.

    Billing’s, Woey and maybe the Kolt?

    That’d be my tip. Fullarton ahead of BBB only because he can give Max a chop out. Whilst I’ve seen BBB take a handful of ruck contests inside 50m he ain’t capable of rucking outside the arc.

    Good to see Salem back in the side and hopefully spending some time on the wing with Lingers being NA (hope he is ok).  

    Good strong team named but still difficult to select the IC and sub from what ha been named.

    There are a lot of ways that the team could be structured and it might be hard for WC if they are looking to react to our selections. I would have thought that Bowey and Sparrow are definite for the IC along with one of Salem, Woewodin or Tholstrup for the bench and one of the other two for Sub. That would leave one bench position for one of the talls. 

    Damned if I know what way they are going to go.

    Whoever they name I want to see a much better performance in the first half of this game then the team ha delivered in the last few weeks.

    Expecting a win but never count my chickens supporting this team.

     

    Go Dees!

    Hunter would look at his poor Casey form. He should be dominating

    • 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?
