Hashtag get some more songs, Gabba!

 

Was Salo at the Capitano run today?

Have almost given up worrying about the result. Mostly interested in how the young ones go.

I feel the same way, given the coaching, demands/injuries/limited reliance and selection(s) this year! Giving the 'younger ones' the opportunity in the AFL team is paramount for improvements in '25. Fresh rounds in the magazine, so to speak. If they can hit the target, they will still kill.

Midfielders, bombing = little game play for Chandler other than what he picks up on the side with extraordinary efforts. Lowering eyes from the midfield, Chandler gets space, gets goals.

Our forward entries could best be described as atrocious.

    So bad, it totally negates Fritta, JVR, Chandler, resting rucks, flankers, utilities ... and the midfielders, themselves.

    With respect, I sincerely hope we mess up your tips this week ❤️💙

    I had a dream on Tuesday night we were winning in the 3rd quarter by 5 goals, then it becomes all blurry after that.

    I didn't see him there.

    He trains fully. Has been for a while now. I’ll be shocked and disappointed if they make him come back through Casey. 

    He has been training and now full training for some time but he has had a minor set back a little while ago but not his knee. Coming back through the reserves were his words. Personally I would hope one week at Casey only because of the length of time he has been out.

    But would I be surprised if he came straight back in?

    Definitely. It’s been several weeks now with no sign of improvement 

    I was thinking maybe just a 🤔 for this, W, but, what the heck...

    This muted, arms length response contrasts with your previous inner-sanctum reporting from the Fritsch camp.

    Should we be worried?


    Little doggie man omitted- what a joke! Club is a mess!

    Strange selection with Lever, May, Tomlinson, JVR, Turner, TMac and Petty in the side

    maybe Turner will be the sub?


    Kynan dropped after 5 minutes of play, what a pointless selection then last week. Good coach we have 🤮[censored] joke.

    He will then have Woey as a sub again and give him no opportunity. 
    You would look elsewhere if you had half a chance.

    Not sure about May, Lever, TMac and Tomlinson all in the side. 

    Are we planning on TMac or Tomlinson playing forward? Or May or Lever playing small? 

    Not a fan of Brown being dropped after 10 minutes of game time and I’d prefer we don’t make AMW sub, so presumably Woey cops it again.

    Yeah I’d be pretty cheesed off if I was K.Brown right now. Like what more could he have done last week? Winning the game for us wasn’t enough? I hope the communication to him has been clear.

    Not at all Tim. I’m still very close friends with Pauline Fritsch. We speak every other day and see each other often. Bayley just happens to be her son. I have a son the same age as Bayley, and Pauline and I don’t talk much about either of them.

    I can’t deny he’s currently in a form-slump. I mean, I’m delusional. But I’m not that delusional 😅

    I'm just getting frustrated with this incessant desire to not reward anyone who shows some ticker. 

    He'll be back I'm sure, just for god's sake don't make AMW sub or this place will be torn apart.

    I hate them dropping Brown even more than I hated them playing him as the sub last week. Way to just [censored] all over the kids head.

    Kynan dropped after 10 mins of play, a gamewinning tackle and a kick to advantage. Wtf mate honestly

    • 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?
