The Scott brothers seem to get a lot of luck for two blokes that deserve zero of it.

    Rayner had been super and thenshanked the last shot to win the game.

    Surely the runner would have yelled out waste the 30 and take a shot with a bit of maturity.

    both of these games are gonna make things difficult but for once lets take our destiny into our own hands and stop worrying about the results of other teams. 

    Come on Dees!

    North's percentage could worry us with their generous run home. 

    Having a look at the ladder predictor if we win our next 2 games we should be safe

    Thank god the Hawks held on. Im sorry but essenscum have stkilda next week and I do not want them to have any chance of making finals. Plus im sick of people talking them up and mr tird saying they can win the premiership 

    Geelong hawthorn play each other each week so that could sort things out. 

    Anyway Adelaide and Sydney have to win. Tomorrow we need to win most importantly but also boost our percentage

    My god Brissy really should have won that. What Rayner was thinking I’ll never know. Young kid, he’ll learn volumes from that. 

    Great young side but they really lacked that composure in the end.

    And if he was a Melbourne player - he really should go back and learn his 'craft' in the vfl and have him ready for 2019 ?

    It’s infuriating watching a guy turn around to kick round the body on a 45 degree angle. Not once does it ever fill me with confidence.

    He wouldn’t have a chance to go back to VFL, he would’ve been delisted by now

    Essendon don't deserve to be in the 8, so it was justice served. Hawthorn on the other hand looked out of place below us on the ladder all season. I"d definitely back us to get back at them, 6 v 7 would be a fitting place to do it.

    Terrible results for us so far

    Geelong lost and will be outside the 8 with the hawks to come and the form team of the comp in bombers are out of the running! Lions getting up would have been perfect but hardly terrible results

    You have to wonder if he compares 20 attempts with each method at practice and uses the result to decide which way to do it in a game.

    Gee, football is in terible condition.

    Starting to think the bruhaha about 'spectacle of the game' and 'need to change what is happening on the ground' was just a smokescreen to cover the fact that all the real problems in the game at the moment have their source either at HQ or the Broadcasters.

    Meanwhile, that's three games in a row with see-saw surges of scoring and decided by less than a goal. I would guess that the actual fans are feeling pretty 'engaged with the content' at this point.

    Possibly true. I’d rather him take all his attempts practicing the drop punt on that angle but that’s just the purist in me talking.

    Funny how it’s seen a massive turnaround since coaches met for dinner at Gil the shills house

    Jeez, I'd have almost parted with a knacker to have seen Brisbane win that game and wipe the grin of that smug little [censored] Scott's face!!!

    Anyway I've tipped the Ravens.

    After all that, anyone want to modify their view of best result for us in C'wood v Sydney?

    (you can tell I'm confused)

    I’d rather Collingwood win. With their injury list they won’t go far in finals. Gives us breathing space on swans for next week?

    Both have positives and negatives. It's pretty much impossible to gauge what result is better because we can't know how the next 3 rounds will go. 

    For all we know, Brisbane blowing that win was the win that gets Norf to 14 wins and nullifies our superior percentage in the final round.

    I don't really want to play the Swans next week coming off 3 losses. If they win today it releases the pressure valve on them and lowers their stakes for the match against us. Would also be a sign that Collingwood's injury list is starting to take its toll.

    • 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.
