    I think it would be a step backwards if we dropped Latrelle. He's an obvious talent.

    Well done to Paddy X

    Kids are guaranteed spots, going back to VFL aids in their development.

    Outside the box. I would like to see Max Heath on the bench. When Max Gawn has a rest put him down in the forward pocket. He would attract defenfers like flies freeing up the other forwards. What do you think?

    Surprised by this - but glad we're persisting with Trelly for a bit longer.

    Wonder what Rivers has been told to work on, bit stooged with no Casey game this weekend tho

    You would like to think there may be some experimentation throughout this season. We aren't holding up a cup this year. It's got to be about bedding in a system and mindsets. Maybe seeing who/what works where etc

    Would love to see some outside the box thinking implemented by the FD.

    Just have to wait and watch 🤷

    It's an 8 day break from Fremantle to the Carlton game which is more than enough of a break to be fresh & ready to go seeing that it's only round 3

    I am not arguing or agreeing, I was just passing on what I was told.

    What’s the benefit of dropping Rivers?…..It’s the clean slate thing, no favourites, perform the role expected of you or make way. Still think he’s stiff but quite like what it says to the group.

    Dropping Rivers is a [censored] astonishing decisions that really makes me question what the coaches are doing

    Wow. Unexpected.

    Rivers was far from our worst over the first two weeks.

    Show some on field leadership, convert regulation set shot goals when your team has just conceded 5 goals to the oppo, don't mess up a handball receive from a teammate that results in a turnover.

    I'm sure other senior players are on notice as well after last week....8...3...

    I'm not overly excited by the decision as he's a pretty decent player that could help us win but I get the process behind it.

    Surprised to see Rivers dropped but happy with the message it sends. Nobody is safe.

    Besides, his form to start the year has been pretty [censored] poor. Lots of weak tackles over both weeks and fumbly moments over in the west. He's not to blame at all for the loss but that fumble and turnover goal to start the second half last week was as bad as Nate Caddy's miss the next day. Completely demoralising.

    Who knows what else is going on.. had the sense he wasn’t in Kings thinking for the midfield. Several times pre-season King named players to run through the midfield and he was an after-thought, or not named at all.

    Not playing his role? Not fit? Disruptive influence..?

    Just spitballing but at this point of Kingy’s reign, we just need to back him in and hope Rivers gets with the programme.

    Dropping Rivers is dumb. He was one of the better players last week and has consistently performed at an elite standard. Not happy!

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
