The scary thing is we pretty much have a full list to choose from at the moment. This is as good as it gets.

 Yet we made how many changes this week. 5 again I think it was. Nobody has a clue, me included.

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

He stole one of those off Pickett too when Kossie was streaming into goal.

No way. Both are settling after poor starts.

Lever's second quarter so much better with his body positioning. TMac getting to more contests and started leaping at the ball. 

And on cue any appearance of potential form....snuffed out in one quarter.  Need to roll the dice sometimes TU instead of sitting back and hoping.   Make things happen or give the opp a different look.

Goody is like a rabbit in the headlights as are most of the players.

Some individual cameos and patches of ok to very good football.  But mostly very little confidence among most and lacking 'TEAM' spirit/fight.

Sad to watch.

 

Lockhart got a game how?

    That was your chance to do something Tomlinson.  Always looks one step behind the pace of the game.

    Pumped up Lockhart in the first qtr but he's been horrible for 3 qtrs


    Take Tomlinson off FFS

    three huge errors in a row 

    Tom macs success as a forward was a fluke im afraid. 

    He simply cant mark and score.

    Move him on. PLEASE.

    A marking key forward is the difference today. 

    Such a sloppy and ineffective team. 

    If you were on who wants to be a millionaire and had to choose an MFC player as your phone a friend, who would you choose?


    Pettraca barely jogging on transition to defense too. If you are spent then get to the bench.

    This game plan does not suit our players.

    We drop marks, kick half volleys and dont man up.

    They are so much cleaner with the ball than us. 

    They have a trained system and a plan. If we don’t play chaos ball we’ve got nothing else. 

    The coach has to go.

    • 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.
