If we can hold Brisbane to 27 goals we can consider it a win. 

 

Clarry's been quiet too. We appear to be half arsed in our tackling. Hope they get their act together in the next couple of weeks.

 

Guys it’s ok. We are handballing it a bazillion more times than kicking... it’s all good!

    Only positives so far are Hunt and Petracca playing to their strengths and having an impact. Gawn is wining taps, but it's not leading to any effective clearances. Everyone else is playing poorly, and the effort is non-existent.

    Hope the coach gives them a rocket and makes them have a crack. We're getting shown up by a worse team than us who are more organised and working harder.

    attitude going into, preparing for this game

    For what it is worth, just saw Preuss walking off with no limb

    do you mean limp

     

    We are playing like a side that doesn't want to be out there, soft dropping marks, its like we just want to get through to round 1

     

    Good god ANB is horrible.. can never keep his feet and just fumbly at all costs. 

    Hibberd is a worry for me.

    JLT melts in full swing...

    Not sure if you've noticed Sisso, but going back to early 2000's, our season proper has generally reflected our pre-season form.

    Imagine having to go to Amersfoort ?

    I've been to both Cranbourne East and  Amersfoort. There are an awful lot of Dutchmen there but frankly, I prefer Amersfoort.

    Lions taking this game very seriously. Dees taking it half arsed. Scoreline reflects it. 

    Is it for four points? No. Just get through boys.

    Started ok with their first 2 goals coming from Oscar McDonald being a total turnip.

    After that it’s been lazy tackling, poor skills, inability to get balance at a clearance or a crumb and the backline going to [censored].

    Why we are playing a spare behind the ball in a practice game is beyond me. Are we really that slow????

    Not surprised Brisbane are good. More disappointed we can’t string any midfield skill together

    Hibberd is a worry for me.

    I backed him last week, but he missed a handball, slipped over etc. He had a bit of a mare early.

    Possibly, can’t find it in myself to get worried about this yet though 


    Watt do you think happens... when players go into a game,  and play to not get injured. ????

    At this stage I’ll take my chances with C wagner over ANB

    • 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.
