Yeo and Macrae unlucky to miss.

If I had a choice of any player to augment our current list it would probably be one of these 2.

Yeo is so adaptable, could play anywhere and do it well, strong in the contest and in the air.  Macrae is the wingman we need.

What the hell, lets get them both.

Make it happen PJ before you hand over your desk...

Macrae in particular. Would be such a perfect fit its not funny.

Cant believe there isnt a thread to congratulate Max and Clarry....   guess this one will have to do.

Well done to both boys.   Though its laughable Oliver was on the bench and not in the starting 18.

 

Shane Edwards LOL

Franklin in the team cos of his name....  and they gave him the captaincy.  Geez.

And Tom Hawkins didnt make it....  I bet hes crying.  But not as much as he will be crying after Frost destroys him in the Elimination final.

Not quite sure what your beef is in this thread. I saw around 10 predicted media sides in the last week or so, and all had him in the side (all bar one starting). So to continually try and call out posters for bias seems a little odd.

Most supporters wanted to see him get his just reward, and as far as I'm concerned, he did, as I couldn't care less about starting vs bench.

Team supporters are quite often biased about their players  it is a normal situation. My beef is that a lot of the same supporters then can any one who has a different view.

If people charged with picking the team pick a different player to the team supporters choice it does not make the selector an idiot which is the way same supporters label them.

All wisdom does not flow from supporters on Demonland.

Quite often the "experts" actually get it right.

We scored 300 points more than the Hawks, yet they had 2 forwards in the team while we had none. Did Gunston and Bruest kick all of their goals this year?

Based on our forwards performance over the year who would you replace those two with from the MFC?

Giving Franklin the captaincy was hideous. Definitely Shannon Hurn for mine. 

 

Would like to know why and how Franklin was named AA captain this year?

Congrats to our guys big Maxey and Clarry the bullet choo, choo train?


How anyone here gets angry about Clayton being selected AA but starting on the bench is baffling. 

Find something else to whinge about on news.com.au or something

I wish we drafted Parish.

I wish I'd become a drug overlord.

A little part of me wanted Oliver to miss out on the final 22 just so I could watch picket blow a phoofa valve.

Interesting how opinions vary but personally I loved Franklin's selection as Captain...

Buddy as captain is bizarre. On what basis did they arrive at that decision?

 

If The All Australian team was to play another bizarro world, alternative universe All Australian Team, I'd want someone with some experience leading my team. 8 All Australians is an incredible achievement. And his "kick it to me" comment was gold.

I'm not necessarily saying we should have someone in the forward line, just trying to work out what the criteria is for those 2 to get in. With 2 players representing your team in the fwd line, you should've really had a dominant attack, the Hawks didn't.

I have no idea if they are worthy or not the only Hawthorn game I watched this year was against us.

That's fair enough. Anything you like about it in particular?

Probably the vibe 'layzie', it just felt right to me.

A great champion honoured, and he is a champion of the game a term that shouldn't be used lightly.

I get why others don't like it but I do.

That's a fair view. Can see where you're coming from.

Just as an aside, news.com.au was wall to wall garbage today. More than usual.

  • 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.
