Lions seem to have had a rough draw to start the year. 

- The 4 games so far vs Saints, Demons, Port and Tigers and

- 3 of 4 games intertsteate:  2 trips to Victoria and 1 to Adelaide. 

No wonder they've run out of puff.

Would like to see them win a few especially against the teams I really hate (have only moderate dislike for Lions which is the best I can give to any AFL side).

I don't think they're that bad, with talent. So on your post Re the tough draw, I wonder if in another say 6 weeks, IF they will have Regrouped? And win some of those games you mention.

 

I hope they do.

Weird thing was, the season where 186 happened (2011) wasn't even that bad in the scheme of things - we finished 12th with 8 wins and a draw. It was otherwise looking to be a reasonable development year under Bailey until the club did its best to self-destruct.

It was 2013 where the wheels completely and utterly fell off with two wins at 54%, which as ET said, was Fitzroy like.  

Gotta love reliving these great memories.

Very true. 

1-8-6 is indelibly written on my soul...:(

...which only a premiership can erase :)

I’d rather to have lost by 186 than never to have lost at all. 

you might get away with that on the Collingwood forum ET but not here on the mensa board with all us Greek and Latin scholars

Kangaroos vs Carlton is on free to air....  geez.

It does not get any more boring and irrelevant than these two minnows playing each other.

you are such a romantic ET...:mellow:

...Tennyson would be proud of your ability to play on his words...:huh:

Aliir looks lost across half forward.


I would love to start a thread about the psychology. ...philosophy. ...sociological aspects of afl supporting.

Its interesting the tribal passion we have. Sometimes I wo der if it brings more unhappiness than joy but I guess on the whole it gives me much fun and entertainment.

Its great bonding now with my son which is a new dimension. 

Cant imagine not having it or following another team. Cant imagine winning a flag though. Would be awesome.

Time is going so slow, I just want North v Carlton to start already! So pumped.

a pity we don't have Bruce to call the game but I assume BT will make up for it

I know it. Have you ever looked forward so much to what promises to be a lousy game of footy?

It just gets better and better. 

Netflix will be the real winner. 

The Dogs small forward line seems to have gone to poo.

They should have won that but as they can't seem to fit a leading target within the 30 meter range, they usually have to ping at it off crumbs, spillages and sneaky leads in the forward pocket.

A big CHF or FF would help but their nine year investment is in the Magoos.

 

Like him or not, McVeigh is such a pro in defence.

For anyone who's interested I can confirm it is a horrible night in Hobart, had to pedal my bike down the hills to get to work otherwise I would have been blown back up them.  Just sitting here listing to the rain belting down on the roof. Shame because yesterday was perfect weather for footy.  Anyhow, should make for an already terrible game to be even worse.

Just need north to get up to get my multi home.

  • 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.
