    Am I reading far too much into this - Verrall pats on back from head coach, and the next in line KFW training not at St Bede’s.  Is Verrall set to debut?

    He's certainly in the mix.

    Most of us Casey watchers have him in front of Fullarton. Neither are particularly good in the ruck but Verrall is the better when the ball comes to ground. Marking around the ground they are both okay with neither starring.

    Dannyz reported yesterday it looks like Tom Fullarton will debut - I'd say in place of JVR as backup ruck/forward.

    Does the fact that he didn’t train yesterday have any bearing on that?

    Fullarton went off in the last quarter of the Casey game with what was later reported as a knee strain.

    I suspect he was off having scans yesterday so he could still be in the mix

    Verrall is ok in the ruck, better than Fullarton.

    2 tall forwards down again - if Fullerton doesn’t appear now he never will. 
    Or Tomlinson with McD forward / ruck back up? Maybe even Verrall?  Was he at training?  

    I really dont mind TMcD up forward for this week- will provide another string in our bow ahead of the finals and he is looking fit and agile enough to go up there and ruck a little.

    Tomlinson in for TMcD seems like a straight swap.

    • 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?
