Ask Goodwin at the press conference:

”How does a team go from a preliminary final to being the worst team in the competition in one season?”

Make him answer THAT question.

    Did Jones sleep walk through this half? 

    Copped a heavy hit mid way through the 3rd.  pretty ordinary before that though.

    Playing Ollie, Viney and Jones at the same time or even two of them through the mid field together is a recipe for a loss on this ground.  Again...poor coaching on Goody's behalf

    But has he won a game? I can’t remember. 

    he was part of the Crows thrashing from last year at the least. he has won a few i think

    Not one player lead up at Wags coming inside 50 then...deplorable methods up forward from us


    Junk time goals from everyone this quarter.... percentage was definately part of the coach's speech at half time!

    An almost 20 strong injury list?

    That's the hole point  'NC'...  scramble/work to get shallower.  & hop out of the hole we are within...  sorry not hop-out,  that's the Roos recipe.   step out would be us.


    5 goals in a 90 secs.

    DO IT!

    There is a little bit of  'front-runner',  still in this club/team.

    It's gunna take some time,  to change that cultural Habit.

    • 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.
