    We are always one on four or five. 
    Horrible lack of accountability.

    Disagree.  In fact, I reckon we were the slightly better side... except for the turnovers which killed us.  If we cut those down by half we would be two goals in front.

    but we're not. you could say that about a majority of our games the past 18 months. this isn't an uncommon issue. it's a consistent theme. turnovers are symbolic of the broader issues.

     

    Everytime Gawn gets the ball he turns it over.

    Pickett is out of his depth.

    Bennell has looked classy.

    Viney best of midfielders.

    True, and this is terribly easy for me to say, but take that away and we're the better side.  It's a massive thing though so it's difficult to justify, but I think around the ground we've been better.

     

    Now it may just be me, but I thought there were a lot of looks when Goodwin was speaking that suggested 'weve heard this before...'


    Kozzie getting the dodgiest free kick of the round there.  Bit of a square up for the five they missed earlier.

    Sounds like we've got the crowd on our side. 

    Reminds me of the one bloke near the mic when we play over in Adelaide celebrating every goal.  Love it.

    • 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.
