The constant booing by Port supporters is so annoying. Same as West Coast supporters.

The remind me of the Blue Oyster Cult song "The Subhuman".

    Well there you have it. 3/4 time and Port’s pressure rating has been elite.

    Officially no excuses for the turd sandwich served up last week.

    This!

    I’m really glad for the Port’s pressure. It leaves us with less than zero excuses.

    Usually yes, but I’m personally loving hearing any noise at the footy this year

    The Bulldogs in front of a hostile home crowd put in a very brave performance.

    Last week against the same side we did exactly the opposite.

    When do we get to look forward to regular top performances?

    Since 1964 the suffering continues.

    Why us?

    We beat Carlton by a few points.   The Dogs lost to them by 9 goals.

    Almost as if footy is an unpredictable sport   (except for Melbourne sucking since 1964, agreed there).

    Still can’t believe we picked Toumpas over Wines.  It haunts us.
     

    And again last night to see Jackson Macrae (who is an absolute star) deliver a 28 possessions game at 85% efficiency.  He was at pick 6. His under 18 year was exceptional where he showed his skill, evasiveness, goalkicking and ability to win the footy.

    Wines is exactly the type of player we don’t need. We have half a dozen of his type. And a month ago he was in a rut, just like Clarry is now. Clarry’s disposal has been terrible but it’s not a career problem, I suspect it’s mental. A bit of confidence and we’ll see him back to his best. 

    And as a side note, what we recruited Toumpas to be is exactly the type of player we still need. Someone to play on the opposite wing to Langdon and perform consistently. We botched the pick on the wrong player but hindsight is 20:20.

    Kicking skills of both teams pretty woeful

    Hipwood one of the softest players in the comp.

    Tigers kicking skills are ELITE 

    Tigers pressure and tackling is ELITE

    Tigers concentration and intensity is ELITE 

    Not sure how someone like Goodwin could see that and not question his ability to coach and the Dees players pathetic skills.

    Two thoughts come to mind following that game.

    The first is maybe that 4 day breaks are a factor: Brisbane was off a 4 day break, Richmond had 6. Although to counter that, Brisbane generated plenty of scoring shots, so it wasn't all one-way traffic.

    The second is that the comp remains very even. Brisbane were pretty poor in most facets after quarter time. Pretty much every side has had a stinker of a loss so far this year. Indeed, every club except GWS has lost at least one game by 30+ points this year (side note: a week ago, there were three other clubs who with GWS had not lost a game by 30+ points. They were Brisbane, Carlton and...wait for it...us).

    A very dangerous player to have on your team, thinks he is an elite kick and often fails to pull it off. Don't rate him.

    Noticed he had 19 touches, all kicks, with DE of 73.7%. Didn't catch the game, so curious as to his foot skills.

    I know it's easy to be swept up in week to week knee jerking, but the quality of that Richmond win signalled a clear division between them and the rest, perhaps only West Coast on there day. 

    I think we still are in that 2018-2019 period and the newcomers (Bris, Port, StK) are a clear rung (or 2) behind, which to me feels like almost the signing death warrant for holding my interest over the next few months. Stuff watching a smarmy Cotchin winning again, change the channel!

    They're missing players as well, that's a club that knows how to perform almost every week. No excuses.

    Richmond have very clear expectations on players that come in and their ability to convey the message across the whole playing group is exceptional.

    Every single player on their list can come in and play their role. You can't help but tip your hat to them, they have raised the bar

    It will be interesting to see how the Power perform after a 4 day break. Was the Dees performance off a 4 day break just an aberration?

    The Dees are an aberration

    No excuses for what they dished up

    • 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.
