Gee, it was good kicking straight. Weideman and Petracca nailing the goals that they did were clutch.

Fritsch will have a bit of trouble getting back into the team with his unreliable kicking, lofty 13 tackles and 11 1%ers for the year.

    Just get over your preconceptions mate. He played well

    Yeah fair he wasn't terrible. On the upside he's the better of the Wagners haha. Look, I'm not a fan and today was far from the worst I've seen him, and if him playing alright down there means we get Harmes back to where he needs to be, I'm ok with that.

    Brown's leads are commendable - not for a goal shot, but to maintain possession and seek a pass/feed. Keep him there as he is going to clunk a few in a row, as well.

    Thst courage shown by Brown was HUGE.  After being collected to take another contested mark (altoygh a soft reversal from Max) was my hughlight of the night.

    Rare courage

    ANB is ranked 3rd. Just saying.

    Also, why are you going by total instead of average?

    Average includes a bunch of guys including Bedford and ANB who have barely played. So it's a good to consider both the average and total. If I could filter average with a minimum of 5 games played I'd do that. Either way, Kossie is a pressure king! 

    The stats ignore a lot of his crucial tap ons and spoils as well. 

    Hopefully he settles down and just hits the crumbing spot a little slower, that's all he needs to do to get his disposals way up

    And spare a thought for Shane Warne who said on 360 the other night that the sure thing was that the Saints would smash the Demons. Will have to just sit in his house laughing at the parody of himself hes become while drinking bottle after bottle of his new cologne.

    Take out one bad quarter against the dogs, and I think our defensive system has been excellent for the past 5 weeks. Something really needs to change with our stoppage work though, especially at centre bounces. Feels like we are consistently hitting the ball down the opposition's throat, and when we give up the centre clearance it's tough to properly set up our defensive zone. If we could get back to somewhere near our 2018 contested work I think we could actually be a threat come finals. 

    Also I just want to mention Jack Steele who was a collosus tonight. Almost singlehandedly got the Saints over the line.

    That's fair enough then. Was more bringing it up to stick up for ANB somewhat TBH.

    Kozzy just needs a little luck with a few bounces, loving it that we have a player who does so much off the ball.

    Leadership this year. Brilliant. I really liked the 'we're nowhere'. That's the way it should be. And that sort of talk should resonate through the group and encourage them to keep pushing until the very end.

    The last time we had Brayshaw and co in the centre clearances was 2018 and we covered them with loose men off half back for that reason.

    Gawn won't face too many ruck combinations like Ryder and Marshall and will be better for the run but yeah we were belted in the middle.

    I'd like to have Harmes back in the side purely to play at some centre bounces and give a bit of speed and tackling in that area.

    After the bounce he can swap forward, the wing, the bench, whatever!

    Strongly agree here. In most games you'd just have him in the sort of role Jones and Sparrow have been playing. But on nights like tonight he would have been very helpful for Steele.

    Yeah Richo (I think) wasn’t happy about the reversal either. Very soft from the umpire but really well done from Brown. Those are acts that the selection committee must look at and say, “he gets another go”. 

    He didn’t do a lot tonight but I think he did enough to get a crack at Sydney this week.

    Anyone else watch the boys walk into the rooms and notice Viney in a seemingly filthy mood. He lead the team into the room, walking alone and ahead of Max, the camera then shows him exiting the rooms before the song and he never returned. He did not join in the song. Very odd behaviour ... concerning.

    “Considering how sh*t we played, it’s funny we were still the better team and lost.
    Thank god we’re not Melbourne supporters and have to watch that sh*t every week”

    Winners are grinners! I wasn’t unhappy with how we played, turnovers were the main issue that I didn’t like but this game was probably more removed from what we usually see. It was actually nice to see us hold a structure for most of the night.

    Get Bennell in. Kosi can have a rest & Hannan needs to visit an Optician this week. 

    Yeh Harley must be a shoe in this week for Hannan.  There is no way he plays a worse game than that even if he tried.

    Viney plays mostly forward for Kozzy.  Harmes comes in for Kozzy (managed for a week) and replaces a fair chunk of Viney's mid time but also pushing forward at times.

    This was covered earlier - Viney had to take a dump. MFC confirmed afterwards. It was a firm stool, according to reports.

    Thanks for the laughs.    Loved this quote, "We couldn't stop May, and it's frigging August."     Classic.   ?

    am I the only one that thinks Viney tries to take on the tackle wayyyyy too much ? 

    I basically have a coronary each time because he is a holding the ball waiting to happen.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
