    pleasant result

    obviously we played Carlton into form including teaching the how to stop playing... mind you they left it till 3/4 time

    So, just to confirm, if we had the opportunity to beat Essendon tomorrow, we would be in front of Richmond, West Coast, Geelong, GWS and the Dogs.

    Each of those sides has had a shock loss to an ostensibly worse side (Richmond to Hawthorn, WC to GC, Geelong to Carlton, GWS to North, the Dogs to St Kilda).

    This season is clearly ridiculous.

    And, I'm not suggesting we're any good, but our only loss so far is West Coast in Perth. We also beat the side which just beat Geelong in Geelong.

    Carlton look really good with three tall forwards.

    No idea why we didn’t replace Jackson with Weideman, we need more tall targets.

    Meanwhile West Coast go in with their tall forward line and can't take a mark.

    Carlton's tall forwards last week didn't exactly set the world on fire, either.

    (Having said that, I'm also surprised we planned to go into tomorrow with just TMac. Possibly horses for courses because Essendon is small and fast).

    A big issue for the eagles is key to their success is darling and Kennedy but they are playing all their first four games at night at the gabba. It is notoriously slippery at night up there. Particularly after half time. Very, very hard to mark.

    We could be too fresh after one game in how many months? I hope tomorrow’s Intra Club at the MCG is full on. I don’t want manic tackling but it should go the full time to test their fitness and make it clear performances will count.

    Or stale.

    How good are the Dees!?  We knock off Carlton on their home ground, then they beat the Cats at their dung-heap!
    But Hawthorn and Carlton don’t know what it’s like with 30000 Cats fans pumping up the players, and influencing the umps.

    Essendon and Collingwood don’t know either.

    West coast are losing because Simpson is crying about being in a hub,  they see their coach  sooking it,  it's spreading through the team, they are all sooking it up, coach must be a pillar of strength not weakness.

    What if it's multiple factors...

    Its open season for sure now with the flag. Just about anyone can win it.

    Though after watching Collingwood they just simply look a class above everyone else.

    Kennedy and Darling from West Coast are cooked btw.

    They are playing with no effort, the players are disinterested, watched the game weak effort everywhere, after the loss against suns, the coach chose to sook instead of firing up his team.

    I dunno. Is there only 2 options: 0% and 100% effort? I think they could've applied more effort, but I don't think theyre in the game within 3 goals with 10min to go, if there is No Effort.

    Just multiple factors that prove insurmountable for em. Weather, Lions, not enough Effort from 5-10 players, missing mcgovern, away game, sooking over hubs etc. Are you discrediting Brisbane? Lachie Neale , Cam Rainer, Hugh McClugg, Harrison Andrews, Berry. All were firing, maybe Brisbane just hit their straps last night. I liked their game. And it proved they'll be in the 4-8 range for me. 

    Edit- The "line in the sand news" about wce refusing more games in the hub r4-6  put a smile on my face though ?

    Not discrediting Brisbane, but losing to the suns, Brisbane never got out of 3nd gear, they don't want to be there, and it starts with the coach, saying we will play anywhere anytime. Simpson a weak sook.

    They are moving things around to maximise TV coverage thanks to the whacky antics of COVID McKenna.

    Well they maximised it where I live to the extent there is no match on TV.  Probably no loss anyway.

    Both matches are at Metricon . They need to give all facilities a thorough clean before the next 2 teams enter the ground.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
