Good while it lasted. Dogs just way too quick and our gameplan too one dimensional. you just knew after they interview Beveridge at half time that they would change things up. 

Every single time they get it out of our forward line they have 2-3 players lining up. 

If you can get loose across half back vs Melbourne = you win. Typically means you're fast enough to get space which means you're fast enough to transition. 

May and Lever saved us today from a real belting.

Why do our defenders all run to the contest and leave Wallis unattended time after time?````````

Whenever we lose, you notice Fritsch missing regularly. Just for the record.

 

Sparrows done a shoulder.... Weid refuses to play in front.  We just dont know how to bottle a match up when the opp gets a run on and our forward  half pressure is non existent.

Pickett, T-Mac & Spargo have been bog ordinary so far.  If you cant get the pill as a small forwars as a bare minimum you must force the odd turnover.

Dog player handballs it over the line...no one from Melbourne remonstrated....no deliberate.  Such an amateur club with the little things and no voice of leadership on the park

They always have 4,5,6 players around the ball.

 

Why does Weid start on fire but his second halves are lacklustre. Is it fitness?


Predictable at game not over clearly have scoring end in last qtr


Goodwin is so crap. send someone to bontempelli ffs. we clearly haven't addressed any of the defensive accountability stuff. 

If I see one more touched off the boot... JESUS!   Kids stuff!  


Far out we need this Melksham.

Only shows up around Junk time.

He's a liability 

We are getting the ball in the wrong spots. Always on a tight angle. Beveridge coached well to force us off centre.

And 4, 5, 6 out in space. They are well drilled, we aren’t. If plan A ain’t working we don’t know what to do


Inside 50 count is 6-10.

In OUR favour.

They've kicked 5 goals.

Two reasons: midfield being thrashed by theirs, and Beveridge coaching smartly with the switches.

Our forward line is absolutely pathetic today. No pressure and couldn’t hit the side of a barn

 

Melksham has been disgusting.

  • 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.
