Hmmm having politically incorrect thoughts, let’s move on. 

A couple of nice fluffy cumulonimbus?

    We are not the Tigers, so there is no point setting up the same way.

    Correct, we are Melbourne, who lose games they should win.

    They were more like us this time last year. Were only just starting to look like a decent team with a game plan and squad many were still questioning. Stuff being copy cats. Just like they chose to lets do it the Melbourne way.

    Isn't it nice to see Tyson retained his spot, thought he was playing his role (whatever that may be of course), good ol' SMTJ said I have no idea and would show that when Tyson was dropped, I wonder if SMTJ has any idea why Tyson wasn't dropped

    @stevethemanjordan

    I was always going to wait until today's result to respond to your post.

    The most humorous part of all of this is your complete lack of understanding of the fact that even AFL coaches get things wrong at times. Whether it's team selections, strategy, game-plan or anything else.

    For the last decade or so you have continued to back whoever was in charge at our club, no matter the result. And you have been made to look silly so many times because of your lack of football knowledge and blind faith in the club. 

    The only thing that I am embarrassed about re Tyson playing this week is the fact that he again had no impact on the game and Goodwin played him on the wing AGAIN.

    Of course you'd wait hero, Tyson had about 17 mates today   or you sheeting the blame on him solely

    Look silly, I don't pick the team, nothing to do with me, experts on here neither

    Drop Garlett

    We need Garlett back

    Great to see Petty get a game, we need another tall

    Petty not up to it

    Drop Vince etc etc etc

    Kings of hindsight, what if we had had a resounding win and Tyson starred, would you have posted then    ??? nah 

    I support MY club, still disappointed with poor defensive effort yesterday, just don't need to beat my chest about it

    It’s weird, but at the moment I’d prefer to play anywhere but the MCG ,where we’ve been playing terribly of late.

    • 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.
