    His aura makes teams worried about him. On that basis alone he is deserving of a spot.

    Lol Chook.  Looked better in that last part of the 2nd.  Was having a bit of a mare (for him) till then, at least on TV anyway.  Mightn't have been too bad at ground level

    Great attacking football. Both with and without the ball. They are a good side and will we come back just need to manage the momentum when it comes. Great quarter by some of our lesser lights in Nibbler and Harmes but strong all round team first display. Need to keep it up.

    Anb following melkshams lead and now in top 22.

    Should've been dropped for Garlett but we won by 100 so I'll pay it.

    Needs to use his run a little more to get some space on his opponent, pushing higher.  The FD may have him playing a different role deeper today due to his opponent / team structure etc (maybe....purely a guess and probably totally wrong!)

    to all that want nibbler out f u

    Guilty of this earlier in the year. 

    His last month has been sublime though.

    Any injuries in the first half?

    None at all.  Maxy took a bit of a bump in the second term but nothing major.  Otherwise a clean bill of health.

    A slight head knock to Nev.... that's about it so far.  Should be ok.

    I felt like Clarrie was having a quiet day until I saw that he's still had 16 touches, 11 contested possies and 8 clearances.  Freak.

    Another positive:

    Our 3rd Q's this year have been awesome of late. Real chance to consolidate this lead.

    • 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.
