One of the best games I’ve seen Lewis play in the red and blue 

He was great last week too.

    We should be aiming for a 150 point score but our skills won’t allow that.

     

    What odds Harmes for Brownlow?

    Harmes, ANB and Tyson are the only players holding our team back.

    If we can find a good replacement for them then we are looking very good.

    I have only seen bits and pieces but ANB and Harmes are going hard at it and doing their bit.  Tyson does some good stuff and some awful stuff

    Boy can we make it any harder for ourselves?

    What was that hanball from max in the last 30 secs?

    We are a strange bunch.


    How many times this year has Harmes been penaliseud for holding the ball. We  seem incapable. Of burying sides.

    Anything less than a 6 goal win would be unacceptable.  Bury them Melbourne.  We are dominating.  Big last quarter. 

    Happy with a win but we really should be pushing for a 50+ point final margin.

    Geez so inaccurate. We are bossing them in every aspect of the game. It’s just frustrating we deserve more.

    From the AFL site:

    "Melbourne has stretched the lead to 32 points at the final change after a tighter quarter. The Demons have entered forward 50 on 63 occasions, already above their season full game average (57.7) and the most by any team to three-quarter time this year. "

    One day this team will click ... hopefully I am alive to see it

    • 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.
