Season is on the line. Win this and we have some breathing room. Lose and we're probably one loss away from missing finals.

Tx but its gone.

Our changes will be 10 players.

Just send in casey

 

Imagine if you went to your first game and got one of those donated scarves - bin on the way out.

Wish it was that easy for me

Time to pray for miracle, ladies and gents.  We're going to need it.  Pray to God, Buddha, Allah.... whoever you please.  Divine intervention is required.

 

Someone buy a gun and shoot Lewis


Just can’t see us winning 

We look absolutely spent 

Saints up by 50+ on uncontested possessions

42 point win to the Aints coming up

So many players out of form it is unfathomable. Oliver?

Yep. So many dejected faces here. A lot of bleeding in the stands.

We don’t make come backs. We should be praying we don’t have a percentage battering because that’s usually what happens in last quarters when we are losing


I long for six weeks ago when it was hard to find a player to drop. Currently hard to make a case for half the team to be retained next week.

This is the worst - feel like I’m on a hiding to nothing by watching the last quarter. At least in the good old days when we were awful, you could watch knowing the game was well out of reach and couldn’t get worse, and just watch in the hope that one of your talented kids gave you some reason to smile.

Winning seems unlikely, small mercies don’t cut it anymore and it can get a whole lot worse. I am definitely a sucker for punishment. Let’s go.


What an absolute disgrace.

We've completely reverted to the bomb it long to the top of the square on the MCG. We don't switch enough and our forwards don't look like taking a contested mark.

At three quarter time, it's game over against a team that's won 2.5 games for the year.

Gawn and Viney have tried hard to lift the team, but not enough leadership once again.

Has Brayshaw had an effective disposal since quarter time? I don't think so.

    We will miss the 8 again. We on track for 12 wins after this

    Based on this performance the can you see 12 wins ?

    We cannot defend a wide ground.

    A loss and our season is over. Sure umps have been poor, but christ, we have been so much worse.

    All coaches and players need to be put on notice, particularly Goodwin.

    My god this club is staggering. 

    They just can’t get theiit [censored] together and always seem to stuff up when it counts  

    I am so disappointed in this club AGAIN.

     

     

    Poor Petty :( he’s been horrible and will know it. He is gonna be devastated.

    I know we have played poorly but the umpires have destroyed us at times. Like last week. Anyone who disputes the umpires impact has simply not played footy. It can seriously impact your momentum and confidence and mess with players minds. Salem played a text book effort and was pinged. Afl need to stop games ruined by whistles and crazy 50m penalty calls.

    In his defence Petracca does look like his working hard to have an impact at the moment 

    Tracc far from our worst..too many others just can't finish (Brayshaw, Lewis, Jones) or find enough of the pill (Hannan, Tyson etc).

    Goody has made a slow team slower, tried a failed 3 tall forward line far too long with no crumber front & square at all (Spargo) and brought in a first gamer who unfortuntely isn't close to AFL yet, instead of Frost, making an already dodgy backline even dodgier.

    Sorry Goody but you couldn't have done a worse job last 2 weeks and have let the club down badly.

    Amazing how we were flying as of only 3 games ago. Talk about complacency from all player's and coaches. All were stuck in cruise control admiring their own work.

    • 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.
