Shiiit what a borefest...

Our boys haven't turned up. 

I've taken to counting the number of consecutive effective disposals in a row we can do. (<2m Handballs don't count)

Best I saw in first quarter were two consecutive kicks to a team mate.

Try it, it distracts you from the horror of it all and watching this club destroy talented youngsters careers over and over again.

Clearly we are a tall option short today -  time and time again goody proves he can’t pick the right team.

 

We haven’t been bad on the ground but when the ball is in the air we are uncompetitive.

Fritz just shouldn’t be dropping that mark at this level. If he takes that and converts we’d be a goal behind which would be reflective of the game.

Hey Goody, you have potentially the best rover in the AFL in the forward line. I will leave it to work out who, but, think Jimmy Krakoeur. Move out some of the flat foot four.l

Nothing wrong with the defensive effort. Lacking any dare and clean take aways, May this be the last game without a second tall and can our first one please find something that resembles form. 

I believe 1987 was the last time Tom McDonald took a mark or kicked a goal. 
Why they refuse to play Weid is beyond me. How is he a worst option than playing no forwardline. 

We have the worst forward line In the league comfortably. No marking targets. Our list management decisions in throwing the bank at defenders has cost us a chance to have a run at the flag. Unless we can find a trade target in the off season this list build has been a waste of time.

North will be planning who they want with pick 1. May was a huge mistake, not to mention Lever. Overpaid duds.

Absolutely agree. Who owns those decisions. May is the laziest footballer and Lever has no impact whatsoever. It has assigned us to another rebuild.


TMac has broken Stewarts collarbone

Tom Stewart done for the day with a broken collarbone apparently.

We'll see if that makes a difference to our forward line.

Yes and yes 

Stewart done for the day. 

How we going with Inside50 stat? That's the one that counts, that's the one that indicates 'potential'.

Thought the umps were fine. If Fritsch could take a chest mark and Kozzie could convert a soda we’d be about level. Cats just took their very few chances. We didn’t.

Dangers 50 was soft. 
AVB kicked the ball (looked bad but did connect)

their short kicks didn’t go over the ‘grass lines’ but were paid 15m

Kossie stopped play but was still called play on. 

yeah they were fine. 

Tom Stewart down. Our forward line needs every bit of help it can get.


Brayshaw's kick inside 50 is classic Melbourne. Has plenty of time, but either the forwards don't lead to the right spot or the kick is poor, or both, and we can't make the most of the clearance.

  • 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.
