Hibberd can't hold a mark. Butter fingers tonight. 

I reckon the ground and ball are slippery  

Hibbo is still finished. 

 

Lockhart has been our best player.

Uses the ball extremely well.

We’ve lost the plot the last few minutes 

Rather lose it now than in two weeks time.


Lockhart looking good for round one

Hibberd looks a shadow of his 2017/18 self.

Nice goal from Jack!

 

Other than being a former All Australian.. what exactly does Hibberd contribute to the team?

If the round one choice is between him and Lockhart, the choice is pretty clear.


Tomlinson kick was a shocker, but it wouldn't have had to happen had ANB not fluffed a simple kick in the first place.

I’d say Salem in Hibbo out. 
We miss Salem’s kicking.

experience

i think they'll both play; very different roles

 

May just kicking off the rust.


Neal-Bullen continues to be a chain killer.  Every period of good clean possession ends when he gets it.

It's either a fumble or a ridiculous attempt at a handball.

arguably best on ground

I honestly don't know what to make of that first half.

We've done some good stuff... but have been terrible frustrating at the same time.  

Our usage forward of centre continues to be a problem, as do our skills (although the dew doesn't help), but then I feel as though we look terrific defensively and when it all 'clicks'  I can see us putting multiple goals together in quick succession.

I feel more positive than negative but we'll need to improve to have a shot at the Eagles in Round 1 at this stage. 


 Neither team could hit the water if they fell out of a boat tonight 

 

Hibberd another shocker he's close to being out of my side. Tomlinson, Langdon and Petracca playing well.

  • 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.
