Yikes. The opposition forwards would be licking their lips waiting for the turnovers. I think he is an inside mid pure and simple.

And, at the moment, not a very good one at that....

Shame, I really want Dom to find his mojo again

JKH looks like a little lost kid on the field, he just can't seem to get to the next level.

In Vanders 

Out JKH

Disagree

He looked like a lost kid when Dawes was bullying him

Now, he is bigger, he ran hard all day and didn't mind the physicality of the game

Geelong really only have 1 tall forward: Hawkins. For match ups, I'm thinking Frost might get left out. Gawn dropped back successfully a number of times vs dogs. 

It would be crazy to drop Frost with Hawkins back in form. 

Gawn already has enough on his plate. He would not be able to drop back often enough to stop Hawkins from having a picnic. 


Hmmmm I am thinking Bugg to run with Selwood.......has the endurance, speed and strength...and it would free up our other mids from a tagging role.

Harmes tagged Macrae in 2 nd half and did well.

Danger Selwood and Bullethead only run one way.  Get lots of possies.  If we make every ball contested and make them defend us then they will be well out of their comfort zone.

Interesting that with more than a day’s notice, they still went Hannan.  Says a lot about where they see Tyson.

JKH stays in, maybe Tyson for Hannan, or maybe as a left field idea, Weids to stretch their backline with height, and chop out in the ruck.

Can see Harmes and maybe Vince doing run with roles.  Can see Trac stepping up.  Think they will tag Brayshaw and try to stop Clarrie running to the contest.

Should be a good game.  Can’t see their backs betting our forwards, and can see us holding our own in defence.  Battle then of the midfields.  If the Brady Bunch can get up and running, we are stuffed.  If we can smash them into contest after contest, we will win.

AVdB and Baker not ready yet, but not far away.  Kielty not yet, but hopefully gets a run before the end of the H/A.

  • 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.
