The crows always take 2 m over the mark with no consequence, we consistently hang 5-10m back from the mark.

 

11 rounds in  and it has finally clicked.  But still a half to go.

Get the job done  vs Crows and  then get back possibly all of Lever , May and Salem for QB.  Finals will be in our sights.

Effort in the last third of that quarter was brilliant. Everyone cracked in hard. Few skill errors/decisions and we could be another three goals up.

 

Just slow cooked and ate the most amazing lamb shanks whilst watching the footy. 

At last our football is looking as tasty as those shanks. 

Let’s keep it up boys!

    Rough as guts but he's competing hard

    First game back in how long? He has some upside. 


    Forward line looks Dangerously dangerous for the first time in a while.

    Jeffy and Weed doing great.

    I thinks sometimes it’s just finding that perfect balance.

    A good quarter. Oliver and Gawn just smashing it. Hannan does look a tad rusty but that's to be expected first game back. 

    Them losing Sloane helps. Memo to the ch7 camera man. Keep it on the footy. Christ nearly missed Jeffy's goal when Petracca passed it over because we had to see Pyke in the coaches box. 

    anyway lets keep it going melbourne. So far so good. 

    Crows have applied basically no pressure so far. Our midfield is dominating.

    Game would be over if Tom Lynch wasn’t playing. He’s been there only really good player. 

    Sloane out is big - need to take advantage of this and put it beyond doubt this 3rd qtr.

    A lot of players that were copping early flak from you lot, have done some redeemable things. All except one. Are we watching Omac’s last game tonight?

    This year, shank has had a completely different meaning for us. Thanks for reclaiming it for a much greater purpose.

    Yep, been better than the likes of Spargo, Stretch and Hannan.

    I was thinking Stretch was playing a role in defence and on the wing rather well. But there you go.

    how is weid doing great

     

    Hot Slippery conditions is going to really stretch the fitness of the group later in the night. They’re down Sloane, which is a lucky break fr us. Go dees. Let’s bring this one home and light up a bit of hope fr the season! 

    Looks like the Viney of Old so far.

    Marking, tackling and kicked a goal.

    This is exactly the style of play that got us into finals last year and boy when it clicks like it has so far then we look bloody impressive.

    JKH with 12 disposals and really cracking in. Not bad for a bloke in his 2nd game from missing 8 weeks of footy.

    Nathan Jones down back for me is a big win so far. Bilky Stretch also doing well down there also.

    Jeffy back to his brilliant Jeffy best

    I [censored] love Frosty

    For arguably the first time this season bar the odd five minute patch.

    No I am not.

    He always make a good contest and puts in good second efforts.Sometimes it not just kicks and marks.

    He came in last minute and is putting in a good show, even Darcy has been giving him a rap.

     

    Jones looking good at half back apart from that Galluci moment where he just pointed instead of going to defend him himself.

    Are you being serious?

    Just a coup,e of minutes ago i i heard the ABC radio commentators giving him a big wrap. Yuo know, paid objective observers 

    Doing his job. Again. Laid a couple of crunching tackles late in the lst quarter too which should satisy his critiics who think he is not aggressive enough

    Watch with your eyes not your confirmation bias.

    • 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.
