How's the 7 News promo, talking about a goal line blunder in our game... ?‍♂️

Yes. Absolute BS.

    Yes but Blues would have been on our tail as well.

    Best result was a Blues win. This outcome 2nd best.

    Fair enough but a Blues win would have had them level with us. Definitely a good result if they could have knocked off Collingwood as more places in the 8 would have been up for grabs but with Carlton having some winnable games coming up that could have been iffy.

    Kangas are canon fodder now. They have given up and the Suns should have won by 100. The next few teams to play them will be out for big wins. Power, Freo, Eagles.

    Must say I like the jaguar symbol on the back of our jumper. Most of the car logos are rather nondescript.

    Took me years to work out who SEW were on the back of the hawks jumper.

    Jaguar’s are not ordinary!

    Pity they broke down so often.

    The V 12 was a mechanic's dream money spinner.

    Continual rumours that Tata is trying to sell.

    Most V12’s need a good mechanic to keep them tuned. 
    A refurbished E Type V12 would be superb. A lot of that is going on

    Too many Teams have been crap this year

    Izak rankine the only punishment from MRO. Toby Greene gets away with that blatent punch to double over Conca off the ball?  not even a fine??!?

    The MRO continues to baffle. just because conca didnt crack a rib, its a bloody joke.

    The MRO have painted themselves into a corner by continuously excusing Lynch’s off the ball acts, they had to give Greene a pass or it would’ve exposed their blatant favouritism. 

    The system needs an overhaul and a new MRO.

    When has that ever stopped them from outrageous inconsistent decisions that defy precedent or even common sense?

    100%

    They can start with a panel of people who are not lawyers and who have never played Aussie Rules football. But who have played high level sport (rugby, hockey, basketball). Compile a list of incidents from the past, covering most things ... sling tackles, punching, off the ball, etc etc ... and tell them "this incident should get 1 week", "this other incident should get 2 weeks", and so on. That's their reference library. And it should not necessarily reflect the actual punishments given by Mr "Protect the Stars" Christian, as making sense of that is bad for one's mental health.

    What's more, it's the act that is penalised. The outcome can weight the penalty, but the act itself should be the focus of scrutiny.

    Each week the panel goes over the cited incidents, compares them to the reference library, and decides on a punishment.

    In a perfect world, the panel would not need to be so exclusive, but the AFL have poisoned their MRP/tribunal system over the years to where no-one can have faith in ex-players being either objective or not bamboozled by ever-changing justifications. Christian himself seems punch drunk.

    My cousin was a mechanic for Jaguar. His advice was don’t ever buy a Jaguar.  Many of the V12 engines were removed and a Ford or GM V8 installed in their place. Conversion kits were an aftermarket money spinner. They tended to overheat badly and burn valves. The straight line 6 triple carb E Type was a beauty and far better car  if one could afford the service and general repairs.

    Logically that would be a Green Light for the Weid to go the gut punch when on the lead.

    I can imagine the MRO then making an example of a Dees player if we did the same as Lynch or Grubby Greene.

    Greene did get a fine.

    Still, the system is broken. Lynch and Greene receiving nothing but fines for blatant, non-football dog acts, is a joke. Both should have been suspended to remind the league that punching players and smacking their heads into the turf is not what you should be doing.

    Totally agree.  It’s a joke. Need to suspend Greene to send a message. A fine is soft.

    We all know that if they start dishing out suspensions it will stop these acts dead in their tracks yet all I hear from the experts on acts like these is "Nah no suspension, should just get a fine". These people are usually the same ones calling for the harder penalties and saying fines do nothing. Too much foot in both camps for me. Get serious AFL or go home.

    The scene from madmen summed it up well.

    Regarding tonight's game that has no relevance, I am trying to determine if my hatred of hawthorn is more than my dislike of crows fans.

    I'll go for Adelaide to win.

    hope crows win by a disputed goal in last few seconds. decision for touched goes to the arc goal line cameras but they are malfunctioning and decision is umpires call - goal and match to camry crows. media in meltdown.

    As with the players, the maggots are exposed in hub and frenzy football. Night after night, game after game we same the same clowns making appalling and consistently bad decisions. Tonight Maggot 11 is excelling. But of course he will running around again in a couple of days making the same appalling calls. Unfortunately, it’s not just Maggot 11.

    They have a roster system between the AFL, and French Island Seconds. A different winner every week sadly.....

    • 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.
