Not sure about the Round 1 line-up that you suggest as Dawes will be suspended. Maybe replace him at CHF with Gawn or move Pederson there and replace him in the pocket with JKH?

    Ambitious RE: Danger.. Its looking more likely we'll have 2 of these three.. Petracca Brayshaw and McCartin..

    And I can't see Jamar not starting in the ruck.. And with any luck the forgotten Trengove will be up and about as the sub round 1!

    Jetta Garland Dunn

    Lumumba T-Mac Grimes

    Vince Tyson Viney

    Garlett Dawes Howe

    Kent Hogan Pedersen

    Jamar N.Jones Cross

    I/C: Watts Frost Salem

    SUB: Trengove

    EMER: JKH, Gawn, Stretch

    We are going to need some speed in the midfield.

    Dunno on Jamar, and forgot about Trenners, also Cross can't start as rover.

    Pederson as our key forward, Christ we desperately need McCartin.

    This is why we need to take McCartin at 3.

    If one of hogan or Dawes goes down we look too thin up top.

    Brayshaw at 2 and McCartin at 3 , presuming Petracca goes number 1.

    Hogan?

    Hogan can't do it on his own. I obviously don't hold much faith in Pederson helping him out.

    Not sure about the Dangerfield rumour (which is also mooted to involve sending Toumpas back home despite the MFC website saying only recently that he was a required player). Effectively Melbourne would be giving away three top three draft picks for one player! No thanks; l don't care how good he is! I have confidence in Roos, Goodwin and Stone as being capable of developing our own superstars. It is is not as though we are in a Premiership window next year and we do have a succession plan in place with Roos/Goodwin!

    Pick 2 + pick 25+ Tapscott for Dangerfield (And maybe Lyons)

    Draft Brayshaw with pick 3

    I am happier with that scenario than the one mooted which offered picks 2 & 3. Also l could part with Tapscott but feel Toumpas has a lot of inside to him that l don't want to see emerge at another Club!

    2010 Elimination Final vs Sydney (5 point loss)

    16 disposals, 4 marks, 2 goals 2 behinds, 2 tackles

    2011 Elimination Final vs Essendrug (62 point win)

    16 disposals, 3 goals 2 behinds, 4 tackles, 7 inside 50's

    2011 Semi FInal vs West Coast (3 point loss)

    9 disposals, 2 goals, 5 tackles

    2013 Elimination Final vs Richmond (20 point win)

    10 disposals, 2 goals 2 behinds, 3 tackles

    2013 Semi Final vs Sydney (24 point loss)

    3 disposals, 3 tackles

    Bit of a mixed bag, loved the game vs Essendrug but last seasons Semi was a shocker (was he the sub?)

    Lets not forget he was a big part of his team getting to the finals, you cant just say you dont want a player because they dont dominate finals

    Good work HH on providing that, quite happy to be put back in my box here

    I can't stand the blues, easily my most hated team so never watch when they are on. For some reason I had thought he was a bit of a skirt when the games got heated and looking at the above 4 from 5 decent games is a good effort.

    Cheers

    So much for this trade being done first thing in the morning.

    so much for any trade being done..

    Trade period should be 5 days Wed, Thu, Fri then Mon Tue... having the weekend to mull over a potential trade (player/club). The way it is now is just ridiculous.

    Yeah, it certainly makes for bad theatre - might as well cut Act 2 entirely. Maybe they're not doing it for our entertainment, though.

    • 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.
