Luckily I am getting tanked before the in laws and kids come over for tea. How unwatchable if football these days...but I still can't avert my eyes.

By the way... still no goalless quarters...

The we momentum swung our way that qtr. Our finishing i to the forward line is still a massive worry.

 

After least after last week we should be fresh to run it out hard in the second half

My eyes are bleeding. Jesus.

Lots of positives though. Have liked Hannan’s game so far - he adds plenty when he is fit and going.

He and Lockhart have been great additions.

McDonald is doing everything right so far. Everything he has brought the ball down our way its created opportunities for our cumbers

Should have been the first dropped after the Carlton game as was stated many times here, sadly our coaching geniuses thought otherwise.

He has half a game to keep his place.

I think James Harmes might be back in the midfield for good after this. 


Much better quarter but still issues.

We're barely generating shots on goal and too many of them are on an angle.

Brayshaw's goal was nice but the kick inside 50 from Harmes was to a pack of Geelong players who spoiled each other.

Our defence tightened though, and our ball movement sped up which was important. We're zero chance of winning if we try playing slow with short kicks.

Gawn, Tomlinson and Lockhart all playing well IMO.

god damn we need a forward 

Might be time to swap Lever up forward for T-Mac.  Even if its just for a quarter.  Need a tall mobile marking forward in the mix.  Too many wasted entries

Steven May playing a very good defensive game on Hawkins.

Rivers is playing like a veteran already.

Hibbered has actually been good.

Leave Harmes in the midfield and get rid of the Dusty don't argues!

  • 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.
