i can't believe oliver would be rested with a bye coming up - we need our best players out there, regardless that their form isn't necessarily the best they can be; it's still better than the majority of other mids we have

my best guess is we'll go smaller in defence to try and limit their ground level game...

    i think they would've announced it already if it was happening

    I'm not sure, very different selection week. They basically didn't even name a casey team, just a squad. I'm speculating a potential debut as K Brown, Laurie and Howes were all actually named on the ground for Casey initially, instead of the bench like we're used to for tentative picks. Selection thought has gone into K Brown, Laurie and Howes and I don't think we'd mess with that unless they were playing at AFL level. Still wild speculation though.

    Kynan Brown to debut??

    Would love that if he has the kms in his legs. Has better goal sense than Chandler IMO.

    Can't see them making this move given The Age article.

    Which article? Also, generally we play one or two of our emergencies in the VFL, so its unusual to have named casey players on the ground pulled out just to be an emergency.

    We have at least Hunter, McAdam, Woewodin and Tommo not playing this week (Hunter Inj., rest playing for casey today), so 3 outs from our 22 and a sub needed.

    From the three named on-field Casey players not on the final lineup (K Brown, Howes and Laurie), I think they will all play (or sub), as I don't see us withdrawing a Casey player that wasn't on the IC unless they were playing.

    I think of the two players originally named on the bench but not playing (Turner and Billings), one will play and one will be an EMG who doesn't play VFL this week. Most likely Turner will play, and Petty may even move down back.

    Generally clubs don't play a debutant as a sub, and I don't think we will. Howes also played great in the VFL so I think he will play. Sub likely Billings or Laurie.

    Windsor playing for Casey too. 

    Out 

    Hunter, McAdam, Tomlinson, wowoedin, Windsor  

    In 

    JVR, billings, Laurie, howes, K brown?

    I'm guessing either 

    Howes sub = Petty back 

    Or 

    Laurie/billings sub = Petty forward

    Just read the article, seems Clarry will definitely play and that Goody is still too stubborn about Petty forward. I also think we'll want to go a bit taller up forward so Turner will stay in and Roo for McAdam.

    Straight swaps Howes-Tommo and Roo-McAdam.

    Then we pick from K Brown, Billings and Laurie for Hunter and Woewodin. To be honest, I'm still leaning on a K Brown debut and Laurie sub, since they were both named on the ground at casey, but Billings could play.

    Hunter is great but keeps getting injured. Not very excited about Billings, McAdam and Schache. Billings and McAdam have shown glimpses but not enough to get that excited over. Schache just seems like a VFL player, not enough drive for AFL level.

    • 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?
