Balic had a bright start to the season and while he has played okay for the last few weeks his game seems to have plateaued. He needs to move it up a notch to give himself real chance.

Looking forward to dominant second half of the season from him.

 

These umpires are making rubbish push in the back calls. No way that was a free to Balic.

 

I like the look of Petty. Baker has a crack, as does Balic.

Tyson, Frost and Bugg wont be returning anytime soon.

They are really missing the presence of Garlett and Tim.Smith. Weideman doing nothing.

Surely the absence of both Stretch and Garlett means that one of them, presumably Jeffy, is playing on Monday instead of Hannan?


2 last quarter goals from Balic papers over the cracks that he's had a stinker today.

Also just the 13 possessions for Hunt. His career really treading water right now

Gee, Rawlings is impressive- wouldn’t mind betting he gets a senior gig one day. Great to see Casey play the same high pressure contested footy as our firsts. Everyone is singing from the same songbook at last.

Yeah Chook. Been thinking the same thing over the last 6 weeks. It's starting to click into place

Hannan has a fitness test on Sunday IIRC

PS... sorry as Beetle points out below it's Melksham

Melksham has to pass a fitness test for his ankle, hence stretch not playing.


If Weed had a bad first half, this last quarter he's been the opposite.

Balic was signed to a one year contract.

For those who’ve seen him at VFL level this year, do we extend?

Watched about 50%. Answer is yes for me.

Not for mine. He's one of those Viv Michie/Ben Newton/Shane Valenti type of players who will display quite a few tricks at VFL level but inevitably won't bridge that gap to AFL standard

Weid could have had a few. Had two lace out passes that he was cut in front of by JKH and Balic. Quiet first half but worked his way into the game nicely. 

Was Hunt tagged? Just really felt he couldn’t get into the game at all. 

And on the balic debate. He’ll be extended. Looks too good to just let him leave. 

 

Baker, Petty, Spargo and Fritsch...  Jason Taylor has cleaned up at the draft once again.

Tyson played like he really wants back in the senior team.

Casey will win the flag.

  • 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.
