Jeffy for ANB any day.

How did Jeffy play in the VFL?

 

HOGAN BOG so far, has some competition but he's playing with a desire that is beautiful to watch. We were lucky the Saints shoot like the Somali militia. Pat TomMc the million, while the game was in the balance at the start he did some 1% things that demonstrated will.

ANB should play for the Saints. Can't kick for ....!

I thought he was ?

The inverese of everyone else, great goal kicking accuracy, cannot hit a target in the field...and moves like treacle.

 

Looks like he is running in wet cement. 

His disposal is dumb. It’s not even bad. It’s just dumb. He makes awful decisions. It’s like his brain malfunctions every time he touches the footy. 


Now we need to break them in the 3rd and go on with it in the 4th!

let's hope the 2nd quarter was the infamous shite quarter.

I still struggle with the Tyson hate. 

Had two shanks. Pinged holding the ball im the back half (Hunt and Hannan should have been pinged in the first quarter for the same) and the second shank in giving it off to Jones when he was still when both were going to get done.

Other than that he’s been really handy with his hands and some nice targets hit across the ground. At least he tries to hit a target rather than bombing it long to no one all the time

Weid is as affective as McCartin and that ain't saying much. Bring back Pedo.

Hard to see him doing much wrong

I mean ..Hard to see him doing much...

Back to the Magoos son

We are using the corridor a lot more which is good to see. Getting a lot of repeat entries into fwd 50 but still very wasteful, because it’s tge Saints we’re getting away with it. 

 


We are all over them.

The ground is a disgrace. Impossible to bounce the ball on the run.

50 points up at 3/4 time please

Good first half.

Hannan presents a lot, probably has more than any other forward, but we either kick too short or too long. He was getting frustrated towards the end there. Although a few times caught flat footed.

I wouldn’t mind a few more quarters like that

Game in many respects is fairly close. It is StKildas shocking kicking keeping them out of it for the momment. I don't like the indiscriminate handballs we do sometimes but we have played much better than last week.

Tmac was as far over as the Carlton player vs pies in the GF in the 70’s

Harmes?

You're right, it may be rudimentary, I always look at total scoring shots to get a sense of closeness... they're only 3 off.

Cant disagree there. Nibbler has been awful.

I’ve been very critical on Harmes lately playing an inside role.

He has been ok this game as well. Getting the pill on the spread and some of his effective long kicks (most important stat in the game imo) have been really nice to watch

 


Came into this thread and am scratching my head at the Tyson whipping going on. Few misfires with disposal, but no more than any of our other players and he’s been one of our better players again today. Some people here clearly watch the game with blinkers on!

ANB and Harmes on drop watch

You need your eyes checked.  Harmes has been terrific.

Missed the first quarter so can only comment on the second. We were lucky they didn’t put scoreboard pressure on us early in that term, we let them get a lot of look ins at goal but they got no reward for effort. Hopefully that will be what breaks them. 

Once their pressure dropped we were clearly on top and were it not for some players losing their head, and others bombing indiscriminately we could’ve nailed another one or two. 

We have the chance to kill the game next quarter, I feel we are the better team and just need to polish off a couple of final points. Tyson doesn’t seem to have any awareness, but that was a huge goal he kicked. Great to see TMac take a full forwards mark from a high ball, was the one he took on the goal line over or not? Tim Watson seemed pretty confident for a bloke that didn’t have any replays to actually show the line. 

C’mon Dees, keep pushing forward. Job half done. 

 

Harmes has been decent, ANB not so much. Loving Jones’ game again today. He’s been good his year.

Cmon Dees go on with it and build percentage!

I'm a Tyson fan LT, but there was a 10 minute patch of footy where the worst he has to offer was in display.  He was caught a few times and made poor decisions with the ball in hand.

His second half of that term was much, much better and when he's doing good things he is clearly a valuable member of our side.  He just doesn't so it consistently enough.

  • 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.
