    Wish Port would do something about that cow farmer. He's killing them.

    Port have not been competitive.

    The umpires should adopt the junior footy practice of giving random free kicks to players who haven't had any kicks.

    It will be nice to hear the infatuation with Port die down a bit. And Superstar Charlie Dixon, where are ya?

    It’s a crazy season.  Each week one team looks like champions and another like chumps...then it all changes about the following week!

    It does feel a tad unfair that every club can throw in a stinker this year yet we are the only club that is deemed to be in a crisis when it happens.

    We actually should’ve beaten Geelong when we played them. Port haven’t landed a punch on them all night.

    Well, a lot of the crisis-deeming comes from us.

    And we do it every year, and sometimes more than once.

    However, there is a point to be made: every club has lost at least one game by 30+ points (bear in mind shorter quarters). The Port loss is our only such loss for the year.

    Indeed, 14 of the 18 clubs have lost one of their last four games by 30+ points (the four exceptions are Geelong, Gold Coast, West Coast and Richmond).

    If Tomlinson had kicked that goal, we'd have a win over a top 4 side, we'd be 8th on the ladder and playing for a temporary spot in the top 4, and we'd have a significant degree more credibility.

    But we didn't, so we're not, and we don't.

    Geelong are in some sort of form sadly and they don’t even have their home ground advantage to thank for it. Wouldn’t it be nice to watch your team spank two top four teams inside a week.

    Selwood gets the oil treatment just before the siren at the start of games.  I figure it is so he can slide down and milk all the head high frees. 

    For others the oil hinders op tackling. 

    Ops should tackle and roll them around in the dirt early in a quarter to rub the oil off.

    There should be one of those video fan screens for Melbourne fans to boo Rhys Mathieson.

    what I do know is that the 3 if not 4 of the usual suspects will be in the prelims

    That's Geelong Richmond and Eagles

    The fourth spot between Port and Brisbane with Pies and Giants as long range possibles

    You'd be spewing if you're a Fremantle supporter.

    Taberner rightly called for deliberate. Then what appears to be a TERRIBLE downfield free for late contact.

    Then Newnes nails it from 50 on the boundary after the siren.

    • 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.
