Hahahaha!!! So true. 

How we are only 9pts behind is a miracle

9 down with that sort of sloppy [censored] is amazing. One of the worst quarters we have played all year. Can’t get near it. I miss the days when we had 90 inside 50s for 3 behinds. It beats having 100 against you!

    9 points is flattering

    Cmon Goodwin and Jennings, get them switched on and focussed to play on our terms

    Brilliant Clarry.

    Jones’ form just isn’t improving. Worrying signs. Needs to be moved behind the ball ASAP.


    Considering the team we have on the park, we’re doing ok and can still get better tonight. Going to be almost impossible to make finals without Viney and Hibbs back next week, which they are not. 

     

    Jesus -  jones is playing like a 40 year old.   

    Salem Lacks footy smarts....

    forward line actually looks dangerous when we enter


    It's the bizzaro world game opposition dominate inside 50 and contested ball and we score everytime we go inside 50

    O Mac Bog for me in that Q.  Never beaten 1:1. Would be a lot worse without him

    He seems to be playing a very outside role. Sitting of packs, but it's not coming out to him


    Annoying once again we haven’t come switched on from the start, Jones awful and just jogging around forward of the ball, Oliver and TMac look ominous, Hogan and TMAC still flying for the same marks

    I actually thought that you could see what OMac will become, in a couple years with a bit more strength, in that quarter.


    i weirdly have a good feeling about this game, despite our worst qtr this year.. i reckon we'll get the win in a canter. #insane #delirious

    I believe, rather ironically, that by focusing on the classic one week at a time, the challenge before us it will give our coaching staff the ability to focus on the longer term.

     

    Funny game...

    yep, simple and funny.

    Sometimes too much want and desire in the players can spoil the results.  Taking the eyes off the object, ball, or the game this week.

    Crows walking it out of our forward line.

    This will be a bloodbath.

    Edited by McQueen

     

    Rare example of where we’ve been completely outplayed and should be further behind behind but the other teams failed to make us pay. 

    We started to come back into the game at the end but we’ve been sloppy, very sloppy. 

    Side note, as soon as the commentators started talking up TMac’s set shot ratio I knew he was going to miss it, I just kept saying “shut up!!!”

    The moment on the hbf when Jones handballed to Oliver who has two crows near him and Jones stood there, didn’t shepherd, didn’t run to make an option, just stopped as Clarry slammed it on his boot...

    its bizarre. He looks disillusioned

    • 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.
