4 on 3: pack mark. Every Port player has zero MFC players in the hole. It’s like they’re afraid to go anywhere near the contest!!!

Brayshaw is playing on a wing on Karl Amon.

Amon 12 disposals, Brayshaw 3....

While we bring in Tom Sparrow to play in the center, Goodwin can get stuffed

 

This is bullshyt


So at the opening bounce Viney is held off the ball to the point of being dragged to the ground.  Without a call, Sparrow comes in to try to get the ball Viney would have, is tackled and wrapped up and it's HTB to Port.  WTF are these Umpires doing? 

We look disinterested honestly.

Game over, season over. Looks like a 10 goal defeat at this point.

Lever's exit was shocking. First, a sloppy kick, then another kick that goes straight to the advantage of a Port back.


This is an absolute mess. this cannot be tolerated from a team with basically full fitness, and good form, against a side that's been out of form. 

Defensively we aren't working even half as hard as we need to, we can't stick a tackle to save ourselves and we can't hit a target. 

all of our good players have gone missing besides Max.

    Again we hit up a defender going forward. 

    I cannot understand how Lever can do that.

    That's not gameplan, that's just stupid football.  We were clearly leading on the flank and he kicked it in the opposite direction of where they were leading to.  So they had to stop, turn and not have enough time to make a contest.  

    It's rubbish stuff from our players.  We can blame Goodwin all we like but that's all on the players there.

    Why is Sparrow handballing that to Viney anyway, stupid play.

    Tom McDonald not getting to the contests, seriously he is giving nothing right now.

    Trade him for peanuts come years end.

    Intensity meter just hit zero!

    • 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.
