We are dominanting the gsme but not the scoreboard.

Our f50 connextion is our biggest weakness.

I think our biggest weakness is not being able to defend the opposition's counter attacks. Take that out and you take out the greater % of goals scored against us this year.

    he is insanely overrated by posters here! fumbles all the time and has [censored] disposal no pace, has played 1 decent game this year and everyone lauding him as better than petracca and Oliver lol

    Gus had a  ripping 1st qrt today and ripper game last week.

    Dodgy decisions and poor kicking sees our  down 4  to 5 goals.

    Need to get Hogan into the game more. Weid and Tmac up front and get Hogan higher I say

    Tom McDonald has to play FF. Stop playing him up the ground. He is a gun tall forward!!!!!

    Prob is playing out of the square, makes a lead and by the time they stop handballing it to each other he is on the back flank...

    his first quarter was crap mate he got alot of kicks but then were clangers and he looked cooked 2 mins in when Jack Steven streamed down the wing to set up a goal


    Only we could be dominating a team so much and only have 22 point lead. Inside 50s have been disgraceful, no one actually looking to see where the forwards are, Clarry’s centering up was actually the perfect example as he put it right where there was a cluster of suns players. 

    Nibbler has been ok but that miss sums up why he’s becoming the new whipping boy. 

    Salems goal at the end of the quarter will hopefully give the boys a boost.

    He can't convert to save himself. Whereas Salem & Tom  McDonald.

    16 effective disposals running @ 76% efficiency.  5 Clearances.  7 score involvements and 5 interceptions.  Arguably one of the best on field!

    So many others missing easy stuff also and you pick Harmes out!??  Not renowned for goal kicking anyway.

    Harmes with 20 touches.

    Needs to do more damage with them DJ. Then he'd go to another level. Has transitioned nicely from a HFF to a mid supporting forward.

    Could swap him with Trac when they switch positions.

    We should be 10 goals up on this mob. Let us see if we can put em to the sword in the last half. Poor kicking is poor football.  ANB you should be embarrased.

    If anyone is labeling him better than Petracca that might be by default - due to Brayshaw actually getting a kick the past fortnight. Petracca has dropped off of a cliff. I remember watching this guy as a junior and I'd of punted the house on Petracca making it. Just looks a burst player.

    Lever asleep

    Good goal Nibbler.

    Yep, out of form is Trac. Not getting a lot of it and not doing much with it when he does.

    Common Demons!  Better

    Gawn dog!

     

    Get out of the way!

    we should win this one ladies and gentlemen.... hopefully we can now enjoy the rest of the game

    Ain't over just yet DJ. Don't forget we've played a lot of footy in a short period of time the past 18 days.

    Agree. He's going past Petracca IMO.  CP yet to get close to dominating a game. Set shots deplorable

    bit of a concern.. would be nice to see him tear it apart this half

    • 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.
