Pederson hit high, tripped, got rid of the ball, pinged holding the ball.  Worst umpiring decision I've seen in a very long time.

Copped three bad ones in the last quarter. Terrible umpiring.

    Without Frost and Vince we would have been beaten badly. Great effort from both.

    Keilty impressive down back, showed plenty of composure. 

    Tim Smith worked hard all day, great game from him. 

    Baker, Vince good also. 

    Jeffy, better...

    Loved the Bernie interview post match. However long it takes, he will be banging the door down to get back in the team. He’s not giving up just yet.

    Baker has the worst haircut in the VFL

    His girlfriend may be his hairdresser. She appears to be wearing a Pies scarf in the Instagram pic.

    Really liked the games of Baker, Stretch, Vince, Smith and Kielty.  Lots at the next level, Frost good amongst them.  DJ goes hard.  Not much of JKH or Bugg today.  Need more from Balic.  Garlett not on form today - not sure if it was because it didn’t go right for him, or he just didn’t go enough? Kent was way off the pace, but probably better for the run.

    Baker was terrific! Good size too. Could certainly see him on a wing in the AFL side

    Twice in the last Kent had the chance to seal the game one did not make the distance and the other was almost out on the full. Poor kicking from a senior player.

    I think Dom Tyson will be looking over his shoulder.

    Every week I watch Casey we get slaughter in the ruck the opposition get first use of the ball. King must be the worse ruckman going around in the vfl. Today is no exception. God helps if we ever to use him in the seniors.

    king has no afl attributes, young but no potential

    Nick hind from essendon is certainly worth a look in at the draft, might be a good  fit as an outside runner that we so desperately need and bog imo

    Reckon Baker and Stretch must be given a go very soon, Stretch has become a lot tougher

    Good hard fought win

     

    STRETCH - Prolific but done nothing to suggest he can take the next step

    KENT - Poor really rusty.

    FROST - Really good game.

    PEDERSEN - Serviceable game, took a few good marks.

    VINCE - Fantastic game, too good for VFL level.

    KENNEDY HARRIS - No real impact.

    BALIC - In and out of the game.

    BUGG - No real impact as well.

    BAKER - BOG must be close to AFL selection.

    KING - Still developing took a nice mark and kicked a nice goal.

    GARLETT - Poor really struggling at VFL level.

    JOHNSTONE - Done some good things developing nicely as a backman.

    T.SMITH - Started like a house on fire, but died out of the game late.

    KEILTY - Mr. Dependable the best backman on the ground.

    FILIPOVIC - No real impact.

    A bit hard on Billy methinks. Otherwise spot on. Probably Keilty’s best game.

    Can’t see Vince back unless he swaps with Lewis. Thought Keilty was excellent and Frost good, stretch first half very good but little impact on second half. Baker covers the ground well and wins the ball well but doesn’t do much with it yet. I think the rest are nothing more than back ups to our best 22.

    I watch Casey each week. Unless there are a lot of injuries Gartlett is finished. JKH was consistently beaten one on one all day. 

    On the bright side Baker gets better each week. Spoke to him at Willy and he spoke a lot of sense. 

    Also I have been harsh on Frost but the last two weeks has been very good. Dion is also improving  

    Lets hope nothing happens to Gawn because Casey ruchmen are three years away.

    Could flatten his kicks out a bit; has a tendancy to up and unders

    Second week in a row Billy has had a hard tag in the second half. I'm not sure it's something he'd have to cope with at AFL level.

    • 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.
