Whorethorn look very beatable next week

    O'Brien killed us last year. From memory, he took a game high 10 marks. I'd play Lever on him and he'll be able to sag off him and intercept as well.

    Oscar goes to Roughead, providing he plays.

    Jetta, Hibberd and Hunt or Frost to take Rioli, Breust and Impey.

    Isaac Smith's speed and ball use is a worry in midfield and off half back. I'd play Harmes in a defensive role on him. (play Melksham as second ruck)

    I'd also consider trying Vince for a quarter in a tagging role on Mitchell or allow Clarry to go head to head with him.

    Why you say that AF? Not watching game, did something go down?

    Tigers are closing down the 45° chip kick hawthorn love doing coming out of defence. Making hawks look like a bottom team bombing down the line to either outnumbered or outsized forwards. I think weid will get a game next week and play back up ruck and forward.

    Was sore going into the game and just suffered a head knock.

    This is the kick that we continually allow. It's the kick that Geelong utilised every time out of their defence.

    I agree. Thats probably why i noticed it. Hawks have hit it a couple of times and been able to move the ball quickly into the forward 50 resulting with shots on goal.

    Very disappointed if we don't win next week.

    Gee just on the train and stopped at Richmond. The games still going and the platform is full of hawks fans. Gee they can't even stay until the end. This is a club that recently gave them 3 flags in a row. Sheesh try supporting a club that doesn't giveyou finals for 12 years.

    Mind u there are Richmond fans that left early which I don't get either.

    Darcy Parish possibly the most overrated footballer going round. Thank God we went Oliver.

    I like how Essendon were rubbish defensively last year. So they recruited 3 front runners with no defensive attributes. Good strategy.

    And to think after round 2, 2016 that some people on here were convinced of the opposite.

    Just goes to show when you post after a disappointing loss that you should take a deep breath before doing so.

    Essendon challenging the Saints for the worst quarter of footy here. Glorious.

    The best defence is a mediocre offence.

    • 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.
