I'm amazed at how often we burn a player in space and go long to a contest instead. It seems every kick-in we'll have a player free straight up the ground at around the 45, and ignore him to go down the line to a contest. Incredible.

    People we have the wrong coach & over invested in 2 defenders who can’t defend the goal line on 2 occasions! We now have Gc , Carlton, saints, Nth who have gone passed us again .. a disgrace after a decade of pain & early picks it’s like 2010 replay

    We've just got to change the coach.  Players careers will be over before they know it, without any inspiration or leadership to get them through it with any sustained success.  

    We can't let this go on, it's the way we're playing that's just devoid of any spirit or confidence.

    After today I’m pretty confident we will have a new coach next year if we are serious


    Hibberd is my new favorite player

    Hibberd good technique. 
    Dangerfield no technique. 
    Hibberd is suspended

    Smith has looked better today. Amazing what can happen with a little bit of sorely needed game time.

     

    Save for one non free on Tmac, umps have been very favorable to us.

    Put Daisy Pearce in the box. 

    Yep. Her earlier suggestion about keeping Petracca in the forward line was a good one too. 

    are they drilled to man up?  are they drilled to find a team-mate?  where's the connection between max and the runners?  They've had a lot of time to get these things sorted.  Does Goodwin know what our players are skilled at?  

    not worth watching - so utterly predictable.  And our blokes still guard the space where only a miskick will go; still wear themselves out chasing after the bolted horse.  Geelong is laughing at us  The whole competition is.  Goodwin, this is you

    My favourite player already.


    Milkshake tries to steal a third miss for the quarter but is denied by Hunt.

    Seriously our back line is taking the [censored]. Thank god they dropped Jetta. Our only defender who isn’t busy trying to be a show pony and actually defends!

    This this and this.

    When Geelong have the ball you'd swear our players were instructed not to go near a player. Laziest bunch of idiots to play the game.


    Oliver barely even jogging on the transition. I pray that the coaches start to tell him that this isnt on. He really has to work on his defensive running to become a great player. 

    Really disappointed.

    • 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.
