And Harmes rucking is a joke. I know we don’t want to go tall in the wet but the whole time Gawn was on the bench was an utter shambles in the middle. 

 

Lever is simply just going to the wrong position three quarters of the time and never effects the contest. 

 

Really concerning how much he isn't clicking

I couldn't believe that. Nothing surprises me anymore with Goodwin, the bloke is completely out of his depth as a coach. It is just stupid to have Harmes go up against McKovey.

Not worried.  It's 8 points.  Well and truly in the game.

You’re not worried we let them kick the last 5 goals? I wish I had your confidence.

Our forwards playing in front of their man for once would be a good start. 

Playing in the same postcode for that matter.

No more honourable losses please.

No. This would be a good game to pinch because we have played like sh*t. All that matters is we get the W. But hopefully we concentrate on our weaknesses during the next week after stealing those wins.

If we can’t beat a middle of the road Geelong or hawthorn then we haven’t improved. We’ve beat a dismal bears and Roos 


I don’t want to jinx it but Oscar has been A grade. 

We have done a good job on Mitchell. I think Jonesy is on him. However we are still losing the clearances which is not helping the panic handball to 12 Hawthorn players versus 1 Melbourne player. 

Stop the horrendous hanball and fumbling and we are back in it.

 

Some awareness running with ball would also help.

They kicked 4 goals for the term, we kicked 4 points.  They just took their chances, we didn't.  Plenty of time to fix things up.

You're right, we are in it for sure but i think it's frustrating because we should be winning? kicking behind after behind, making poor decisions inside 50... i just hope we tidy up and win this because we really cannot afford to lose 

Totally disorganised right round the ground.Disposal is a disgrace


Goodwin being shown up again today. Organization and strategy with ball today has been atrocious. I wish we had a coach who could organize this group properly because it’s a top 4 team playing below their ability at present.

Quite a lot of players can lift,besides bugg Harmes and Petracca

Not so sure mate, need a massive 2nd half to win this

 

Goodwin is being badly ourcoached. They have an extra around the ball when Gawn is rucking due to him winning most. They even have two extra when it is inside 50. We sit out loose players just 20m away and they kick over them and we they are away. We cannot go anywhere with him at the helm.

  • 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
