    Knee. It buckled. Went to get it strapped. Doesn’t look too serious.

    Seriously you wonder how these players get paid the amount they get. Kicking for goal was shocking that quarter.  Trac should be nailing those goals now. Neal bullen is just spraying them. 

    Not the best game to watch

    Every time Frisch touches the ball Carltank get a goal. He is the new turnover merchant of this club. Should not be playing on the backline FFS.

    ANB has been horrible 

    you dont miss a shot from 30m directly in front and say he's had a good game. 

    bad kicking is bad football.

    Why not kick long with 40 seconds to go. Embarrassing. 

    Poorly coached/drilled or no football brain.  Or a combo of both.  Even our younger inexperienced players have generally gone backwards from last season under Goody aside from new ones that haven't been in the system long enough to be effected at senior level (Lockhart).


    I don’t think it is too much to expect your team to play afl standard footy. We are not at under 9’s level ATM.

    most idiotic move by Goodwin. especially when  u have hacks like weideman, ANB and petracca missing simple shots that 95% of suburban players would kick

    Plenty of kicks but nearly every one went to Carlton. Up here at home in Qld and would have to be the worst game of Footy I have ever seen. Just as well Carlton are giving it back to us after we give it to them. Taking in turns to stuff it up. Oh well it is the 2nd and 3rd last teams

    Apparently we are whingers if we expect our team not to be horrible.

    Omac before Frost.

    Petracca is a star.

    Carlton will beat Melbourne.

    What next people....

    The return of Omac

    Set shots are our achilles heel.

    Surely Someone can get Tracd to lowere the ball drop < and Wieds

    A small fwd like ANB MUST be better around the goals. He is not confident at shooting,.. Agree we could have this shot to ribbons but for our goal kicking.

    That last minute was embarrassing .... nothing good will come from this game and of course we had to have the weekly injury.

    Weideman missing everything from around 30.... (not alone) there's seriously something wrong in the headspace of the players.

    And then the number of chip passes that have missed their targets. Luckily not too many turnovers but momentum killers.

    I'd just like to say that I've been screaming for fritsch to be played forward all year and also, can tom McDonald stop smiling. you're in a rabble of a club playing another rabble. smile when you start playing like a top 100 afl player.

    I really wonder what Max is thinking watching this from the stands

    Hopefully ANB has something to eat at halftime

    Some nuts?

    To be fair to all the players and coaches they have been consistent all year....

    Consistently terrible

    • 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.
