Lets hope the umpires don't give lots of frees against Max like his 'straight arm' ruck work, like last time we played the saints- wasn't it StK that complained to the AFL about Max's style not long before the game.  Poor sportsmanship compounded by the AFL/umpires blindsiding the mfc and Max about his 'faulty' technique.

Hope Max wreaks some revenge.  And hope we we thrash them for their poor sportsmanship in whinging to the AFL. 

Dees with a percentage boosting win!

Maybe Max should invest in a neck tattoo?

    Once again it comes down to mindset, we need to put them away early.

    ...and then carry on with it. Don’t forget they nearly came back and rolled us last year after a six goal lead early

    Id be curious to know hiw many goals weve given up in junk time this year.

    Saints as likely as any to jump on these opportunities

    No Max last year or Charlie "The Messiah" Sparko ~     (ok thats probably an early call)....

    There are two simple options on the table...

    Beat St. Kilda 

    Or

    Become them.

    The media, with incessant demands for website clicks, viewers and readers, need a team each week who is 'doomed' or 'disappointing'. They will be all over us like stink on a monkey should we drop this one.

    The media are waiting for us to stuff up today. Some said yesterday imagine if Melbourne drop the game tomorrow. This is a game we all know we should win and win well but not at all surprised if we drop it. 

    I just hope we are past that stage. Today we need to to and win well. Get that percentage up and get a 2 game buffer on the teams below us. 

    Cannot wait. I expect Maxy to dominate the ruck and our midfield to be to strong.

    Going to Shiddihad today but I am not confident. Saints will have intensity and if we start like we did against the bombers we will be down by 4 goals at half time. 

    Interesting St Kilda have gone in with 2 ruckman who are both over 200cm tall. They have a pretty experienced and tall backline, so our forwards need to be really switched on from the get go. Feel like this would have been the perfect game for jeffy..

    Armitage coming in gives them more experience and a hard body around the contest.

    Think this will be a closer game then many people think.

    It's the wife's birthday so I can't make it.... might try sneak a few quarters on TV.

    Really got to come out and put the Saints away. There are no stand out sides in this competition and everyone seems to be inconsistent (except the Tigers and Eagles). So we've got a huge chance over the next 3 weeks to establish ourselves as contenders.

    She's had birthdays before and she'll have them again. Why do wives think their silly birthday is more important than a big dees win over the saints ?? Go to the game and enjoy it.

    Anyone else worried the Saints might kick straight for a change today? 36 goals 65 behinds in their last 5 games.

    The Saints have had a week of 'soul searching' and 'home truths' so I'd expect them to come out hard.  Withstand their early flurry, get the game on our terms, and then let our superior talent dictate terms.

    We’ve had countless of these soul searching sessions in the past and it’s meant SFA  so it’s important to destroy their confidence early and watch them unravel.

    Today is about percentage. A close win or a loss of any kind will be an abject failure by players and coaches. We need to start winning games against bottom sides, and winning them well.

    Dees by 50 points

    • 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.
