Gutsy calls by Pyke to drop Eddie and Hinkley to drop Dixon.

Also a gutsy call a few weeks for Teague to drop McGovern for being unfit, not to return until he is.  Big call for a coach wanting to win every game.  Good on him for setting standards early.

Good examples of difficult calls to maintain the integrity of selection decisions and set behavioural standards; Walk-the-Talk.

The ever classy Betts:  “Yes a bit disappointed on being dropped,” Betts said.  “But at the same time super excited that this kid gets another run at AFL level, turn it on little brother.”

    I think I want the tigs to beat the pies. 

    If there can be some miracle performed so the suns can beat essendon this week that would be great, but it won't happen. 

    I reckon Carlton can beat the crows.

    Richmond looking unbeatable.

    2 very high quality talls and the resting ruck. Following that up with remarkable skill when the ball hits the deck.

    Tigers coming good at the right time of year, will be flag favourites after tonight if they weren’t already

    Yeah, at least for another couple years.

    Injuries + loss of confidence = sound familiar?

    Collingwood board on Bigfooty is in meltdown atm.

    There is a huge disconnect between Grundy and their mids atm. They are quite literally struggling in the same areas we are.

    Yep, and with a game plan that is closest in style to ours of any team.

    But hold on, i thought the pies, cats, west coast slow, chip it around, cross to the fat side  and maintain possession model is unbeatable and  where the game is heading and Goody has failed to keep up with premiership winning trend in footy.

    I'm confused. Perhaps that's the not the case after all.

    Commentator watch:  Mr Ling was able to say ‘lowered the eyes’ three times in about 20 seconds.  A pumpkin that love the sounds that his farty breath makes.  Severn team are ‘boisterous briahhhn, creepy Bruce and special comments from the peanut brigade.

    Every time De Geoy goes near the ball he looks for a free kick. Arms flapping and head flying back

    I am very angry that Eddie has been allowed to stay in the Media unscathed, after his King Kong comments, twice...

    It really stinks

    “They’re a couple of good looking boys, Eddie’s kids” - Bruce going full creepy ped. 

    I didn’t year that but a couple of comments later were ...... well, quite creepy.

    Sad really.  Gone on far too long.  Was one of my favorites early on.

    • 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.
