Ah well, can't have everything I suppose. 

False hope back at Tigerland tonight. 

 
 

By jingoes old "greeny" looks like he's put 10 to 20 kgs this season. Must be the cool air.

Meanwhile Adelaide currently 15.20.110 to Fremantle 3.1.19. Midway through the third.

Let us (players and fans) never forget we beat Adelaide by 7 goals in Adelaide. 

Nor the fact that we lost to Freo at the MCG!!

I'm not trying to say the fact we beat Adelaide makes us the best team in the league or anything like that.

But in a season where the closest margin from any other visiting side this year is GWS' 56 point loss in Round 1, our 41-point win should serve as a reminder to all of what we are capable of.

'titan', I think it's more about colour pieces these days.

They've got retired champions to give special comments & all they do is fill colour and give absolutely no insight into the game.

The drivel they carry on with you & I could do from watching the tele...

It dumb's down the game...

It's about ratings I know but for me I would rather see the end of the old champions like Mathews, Carey, Watson, Lyon as they have been out of the game to long and bring nothing to the table.

Even Richardson & Ling have been left behind.

Bring in fresh talent for expert commentary every couple of years and keep up to date...

As for the likes of Taylor, Russell & their ilk, surely we can do better...

 

Listened to the Richmond v Essendon game on 774 for a little bit tonight and was continually impressed by the Carlton captain Lauren Arnell's insights as a special commentator. She really broke down each play and assessed it in modern day footy terms. Really, really good stuff. I want to hear more of that from the flogs on FOX/7.

Freo dont deserve to be anywhere near the 8.  Their percentage is a pitiful and they have just been very lucky.  No way are they holding their spot.

Agreed they have been very lucky, should never have beaten us and Richmond 

Razor Ray really thinks the universe revolves around him, doesn't he?

They don't know that stuff.

And the ones that do, have buried it so they can make in-jokes and be "entertaining".

We didn't play well and we get Free in a purple patch which often happens with struggling teams. They have no reverted back to what was happening in the first few rounds of the year.  Think of periods for us when struggling we suddenly play well for a bit then fall in a hole again.

We always seem to struggle a bit after the bye......did we win after it last year? I think we may have....or perhaps the year before?

Lynden just kicked a Filth goal. 

How sad... :(

Don't worry mate, you'll be happy in a fortnight's time when Hannan sits on his head and kicks his fourth on the way to a 10 goal victory.

That would be great. I still have the Ricky Pettard missed mark in the goal square from 2010, flash into my head whenever i think of the Filth now!

North Melbourne has only lost the free kick count in 1 game for the whole year (19-20 against the Giants in round 2).

They have been given an absolute gift by the umpires for the entire year.

Collingwood had 39 scoring shots to  Brisbane's 19 so perhaps the 45 point win does not do justice to their dominance

Certainly wont be a walk in the park on QB. With luck they could start favourites !!

Should have been a 50 metre penalty prior to the call of play on.  Umpire was looking right at it as well.  Pathetic from the umpires.

Do they get paid to not see this kind of thing?

  • 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.
