Either.

Don’t think we will really miss either of you really if he is selected but tell me were you planning on flying to Alice for the match?

    I will be there, Bugg or not, but if Bugg is playing, I will feel dudded.

    Well please attend no matter who the FD selects. They know best,  but yes there were some circumstances last season where they...... OH no need to go there!

    Bugg is not a quality AFL player. 

    He is for the delist pile. 

    Well people who have not played at this level keep saying such I know. But he has a habit of being at the drop of the ball in the forward line. If he could kick straight he would be a weapon as he usually seems to get 4 or 5 shots at goal. He also adds a bit of unsociable football, but that needs to be managed I agree but he has defensive forward skills, so in my eyes he is a chance for a game this week, but what would I know.

    Forgive us for not all being ex-AFL players. 

    Seriously this is one of the most infuriating things anyone can say on a football forum. 

    Bugg’s doing the right thing by playing well at Casey but he was woeful in the seniors this year and whilst he was in the right spot often enough, he too regularly either didn’t want the ball or turned it over. We are also “unsociable” enough without him. He won’t be getting a game for being “unsociable” alone, either.

    NO CHANGE.

    Unless there are late injuries during the week.

    Sorry for that comment, didn’t know you would be so sensitive about it. But Bugg does get a lot of forward opportunities when he plays, think he got a few goals in an early game in the ones. Then he struggled like a few others like Garlett in our hopelessly congested forward setup in rounds 1 to 5. He still offers something I believe, although no automatic pick I agree, I prefer Jeffy for his X factor but he can go missing.

    I watched the Casey goals.  It is difficult to draw any line through that as the footage looked like we were playing a team of non AFL standard.  Pedo took some strong marks, but the pressure applied in those contests looked 2nd rate at best.

    i simply don’t know how to rate the performances.  Maybe relative to each other?  Maybe work rate and two way efforts?

     I know Smith is 27 but a debut of 18 disposals and 5 marks and 5 tackles is a pretty good debut( albeit it was in a team that was in red hot form and demolished and insipid opposition)

    (albeit it wasn’t his debut)

    I expect that because the game is in Alice Springs and we have totally committed to this NT thing then they’ll drop Spargo for Garlett. 

    I will find it very disappointing but Can’t have Eddie Betts hogging all the indigenous limelight.

    I think you both missed the original typo was Garrett.

    No change. Spargo is already one of my favourites. Rarely wastes a disposal and provides good pressure.

    If there's any change it's Bernie for Hunt or Garlett.

    Lol. I don't like him as a player either, but I wouldn't not attend a game because he was playing. Ridiculous.

    • 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.
