Get around the show tomorrow morning Dees fans - we'll have ex-coach Paul Roos and current captain Nathan Jones on! That should be great especially to hear from roosy and nath on the atmosphere and how the game played out. 

Also apparently melbourne are opening a 1hr media session tomorrow, putting up every player that played friday night.

    I heard on Channel 9 Sunday Footy show today that the club would be making all 22 players from Friday’s game available to the media this week. This has me a bit worried. I hope it doesn’t distract players from the main game. We need to win the next game!

    Sport at this level is all about glory and I reckon it's great to give the boys a taste of what they're playing for. Make 'em even hungrier!

    I have a feeling this was pretty much done last week and didn’t have a negative impact.  May not have been all 22 but it seemed like most.

    This is the time for the club to get kids hooked into the team, we are not on free to air much, the last 12 years would not have attracted many kids, we have the characters in the team the kids love, get them out there.

    It’s actually quite good for training for future years. What I also love is that it is something they are doing together (everyone is important etc). Also means no extra pressure on one or 2 players. I really like the idea.

    As the OP stated it is only for a 1 hour session. They'll probably go light on media duties for the majority of players after that.

    A bit of 'feeding the chooks' as they say in the National Party.

    Get the media part done enough to keep everyone happy, then get back to focusing on the real job. Hopefully helps clear the noise from player's minds, 'That's done, don't need to think about that now.

    Great idea by the club, everyone wants a piece of the Dees, get it out the way early with all of them present and move on to Friday.

    I know people like to look for reasons why we lose, but i hardly think 1 hour of answering media questions when Monday is probably a light fitness day is hardly the worse thing in the world. Infact i doubt it has any impact on the weekend's game.

    The posters who had a meltdown over James Harmes post game interview after the Sydney loss scoff at your common sense.

    Melbourne are regularly praised for great player access and it hasn’t affected things so far.

    TMAC said this morning it gets all the media out of the way in one single hit, rather than stagger out all week and distract, pretty clever IMO especially with a young team. They did the same last week from memory.

    Plus it's one hour, in and out ,and you're done for the week. No more media, and you can focus on the game from Monday afternoon onwards. I think it's a great idea!

    We got some characters alright!!!!

    This could just be the story of the Season 2018 and beyond if someone in the Media realises it...i do not think i have seen such a blend of charismatic footballers in one Team (look at the others) and there is more outside the 22 to come in......it could be like a movie that hasn't been thought of yet.

    I remember the days where you didnt even have direct line recording. You had to tip toe out of the room otherwise you could hear it picked up on the tape.

    • 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.
