I am only naming them after the event. We are a cursed club. It has to change. No club in history has had to contend with what this club has been dealt this year.

Not sure that Fitzroy fans would agree with you Redleg.

They got dealt some pretty crappy hands in their last two years.

    On another note , it never fails to amaze me how often we draft a player and then he is out for most of his first or second season. Just some examples recently Taggart, Gawn, Evans, Gysberts, Tapscott, Cook, Jurrah, Fitzpatrick, Spencer, Tynan etc.

    How could I have forgotten the Captain- Jack Grimes.

    Agreed. Didn't help that the AFL was dealing most of those cards from the bottom of the pack........

    I am not certain on wyl, you may well be right of course he may be going to both.

    If you are trying to bait me DC it works every time with N0.7

    I am going to the Brisbane game with my brother who is a Gabba Member so we get to eat and sit among the upper crust of Brisbane.

    It will not look very good to be seen lying on the floor in a fetal position crying.

    So please No.7 at Casey this weekend.

    PS Once again I forgot to use chrome!

    Still think he could make it. I would play him in the FP this week in place of Flash. I would tell him if he doesn't apply a strong forward press he has no future at the club. Think that would stir him up.

    I hope you're right redleg. he does have a lot of good features but so far i tend towards od's pov (though not as strongly)

    I doubt there is anything that would stir him up, you cannot pull up your socks if you do not have any on Redleg

    Threat of delisting may work wonders.

    Every time I see Lewis Jetta play I feel sick, thinking how we could have had him as a rookie, after Neville's mum told us about him.

    Surely not Daisy . He has never been a fan of the youth policy to my knowledge.

    I trust that he is not involved in the drug trade either-unless as a customer.

    Other than that-you would have to wear a "Kim Bradley won in Vegas " T-shirt to get locked up there surely?

    I heard that Lewis shadowed Keiran Jack all pre season - has bought his fitness to elite levels.

    I can't help but wonder which of our underperforming players - JB, Morts etc would lift to a surprising level given the same chance.

    That is a cultural thing and Neeld and Craig are attempting to change ours. Near enough is not good enough.

    Sorry Redleg no amount of fitness will cover a lack of skill and desire.

    Back to WA for me.

    Lets face it we are third last on the ladder 5 years into a rebuild.

    We must have a number of players that are not AFL standard.

    No. 7 is not on his own but in 9 weeks time 5-6 players should be for the high jump.

    IMHO no7 is in the lead group

    No, it was aimed at some of the ridiculous ideas on here lately.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
