hoping for the double today. Dees get up and the storm win across the rd. 

I have no idea what to expect today.  Hope we get off to a good start.  

The  players have spoken about embracing this pressure so i hope they bring it  today

    No late changes for either side. 

    Funny how some were squawking about insider knowledge that Gawn was out, yet here we are. The Iron Man lives on and is ready to feast on Callum Sinclair.

    Goody hasn't been wrong this year with his playing predictions.

    When I saw Picket had the inside word that there may be a late change I knew we were all good to go.

    That sucks. I got sick of it and brought the subscription. Couldnt stand the adverts either. 

     

    Geez just looking at the lineups, we really need a good game from our half forwards in Pedo/VDB. Rampe and McVeigh are smart and dangerous rebounding players. We look exploitable in that area.

    A couple of beers at the Sporting Globe have calmed the nerves somewhat. But I don't think anything can truly prepare you for what is ahead. Come on Dees, take the step!

    I come and go from Asia and have a local cable subscription over here. May have to succumb next year. and pay for a watchafl account as well. Would be good if they could up the quality of the transmission of the AFL on the Australia Channel as well.

    The EPL etc is crystal clear but the AFL is far from that.

    Do you happen to know what the quality of the watchafl product is like on a 70 inch screen

    Yes i watched an EPL Game in HD whilst in Pattaya last week on a Big Screen and the quality was absolutely staggering. Shades on the grass, pure detail everywhere. 

    Australia has a long way to go with transmission. Both content and quality

    had surgery during the week, a wedding this morning and a reception this evening...first game i'm missing in melbourne since the north game when the middle kid chose that day to get a lymph node infection and spend the day in hospital

    i'mma be watching from the couch...and i HATE watching us on tv

    Glad that even tho AVB wasn't seen at training yesterday he is playing.  We need him bullocking his way around the forward line - help keep the likes of McVeigh honest.

    Also, rapt that Hunt is back.  Can't wait to see him do his 'road-runner' routine out of the backline.  Now that Bernie is out for the season the defence role is Hunt's to own.

    I feel a bit sick about this. One of the biggest games of recent years, coming into it.

    I’ve moved home from Asia a year or so ago and not sure of the product now. I mainly used it on my pc or iPad, so not too sure. The  quality was great on a smaller screen, so it should be okay on 70”.

    ... and at least 1/3 of what goes on out there is in the hands of Nicholls  :(

    Not confident at all. Can see us getting plenty of inside 50’s and being either inefficient with entries or kicking badly. 

    Swans by 16 is my gut feeling.

     

    Tracy missed two shots from about 15-20 out 45 angle...

    put both across the front and out of bounds. Will be super accurate today, I can feel it!

    • 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.
