I said we have average footballers in our team after last weeks game.

I'd take average footballers right about now.

Bereft of skill and confidence. Swans are gonna breeze this in.

    Has Tracc been on much or at all this quarter?

    Little to no impact, we should also start looking for a replacement for Hibberd. Will be painful if Jones goes another season, and he will.

    Another wicket UK out 2 for 60

    Meanwhile it's been a snoozefest at the footy. Watch Sydney score a quick 2 goals after this pathetic arm wrestle

    The most worrying thing for me is not that we keep losing, but that we don’t look even remotely like we are building anything for next year.

    It’s been exactly the same since the PF last year. That is what concerns me

    I honestly can't see where our improvement can possibly come from next year with this bunch.

     

    New coach?

    Our f50 entries are just excruciating 

    Do we even want to give ourselves a chance of kicking a goal?

    Because we accept players “did some nice things” as opposed to “tore the game apart” or “changed the course of the game”.

    We give the opposition every chance .

    A true bottom of the ladder side.

    And that sums it up, but by all means blame the coach

    This is simply disgusting.  The panic, keystone cops fighting over the same ball.  I cannot believe how poor this team is, in all aspects and phases.  What a bunch of losers

    1/ There will be no expectation.

    2/ It couldn’t be as bad again, surely.

    3/ No excuses accepted re delayed preseason. 

    4/ Confidence could not be any lower.

    • 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.
