We still rate Pickett??

I've never been able to make my mind up, but I laugh everyime I think of that video we released from draft night with our recruiters talking about him in the vein of Rioli.

    It hasn’t been in the forward line for him to a) kick goals b) defensive pressure

    Lol Pickett, does nothing but give away frees. Cant believe we've likely essentially paid more than pick 1 for him.

    That's the way guys, let's get stuck into the 7th gamer when all of our core leaders are playing poorly.

    Nothing like paying 2 first rounders and 750k a year for an OMac clone 

    You muppet, he's possibly one of about 2 of our players who are playing well.

    30-10 hitouts yet we're behind in clearances.

    Yes our mids our woefully out of form, but Max needs to learn how to give an effective hitout. Better off doing the old Jeff White thump it 30 meters forward instead of just dropping it at the feet of the opposition.

    If Goodwin sees out his contract, he will be Melbourne’s last coach.

    Pickett has to stop that stupid push in the back.

    That and spraying kicks from 30 out wide of the goals are his only attributes.

    I can’t wait for the excuses from Goodwin and his apologists

    Look for the silver lining.

     

    At least the coach will finally be torched by the media this week. Just in time for us to play bottom placed Adelaide, where we will enjoy an uninspiring 10pt win, or a soul destroying loss.

    This is as bad as anything from 2019.

    Utterly pathetic.

    I would say worse, hardly any injuries new fitness boss, still a sniff of finals ( clearly not any more ). This is pathetic.

    23 inside 50s to 7 since quarter time.

    We've been inside 50 7 times in nearly a half of football. Disgraceful.

    Goodwin will say it’s all a learning process. 

    It’s a spanking.

    Season over for mine

    • 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.
