Round 3 Non MFC games

Featured Replies

Whorethorn look very beatable next week

 

ATTITUDE DEMONS. 

Years of pain inflicted by that Putrid Club

 

 

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.

 

Sending good vibes to the Doggies so they can crush the Druggies

Roughead looks fine now...

First time in his life, if true!! :)


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.

This Richards kid has a crack. 

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

The best defence is a mediocre offence.

  • 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.
