Ok so the entries into the 50 aren't working, what's the plan guys?

One option... Get all players, other than Spargo & Weid, to lead their players to the arc or just outside.  Leave those two with space in front and space behind them for Brown to lead back into. 

Wow O-Mac....5 meters off his man left in no man's land there.  And all players running forward of the ball before that caught out on the turnover.  Ordinary stuff Demons.  Saved by Harmes on that.

    That kick to Weid on the lead sums us up so far - he had two to beat, then they had another to help mop it up.  Where are we at the moment?  If they have so many loose, why aren't we getting more of it?


     

    Thank god for that

    They look flat as a tack and all running kicking forward in straight lines.  Switch or 45 to change the angle of attack and make it harder for the opp to defend


    Nice finish Gus.

    God we needed that.

    They're asleep 

    Lucky goal

    Brayshaw is handy with those snap goals.  ?  Phew.

    Is Kayo an option for you?  Or AFL live pass for a game by game option?

    I feel your pain, I’m not quite sure how I survived before Kayo.  I remember having an AFL live subscription watching the games with my family huddled around my iPad.  

    Yeah Kayo or AFL live pass are options. Just annoys me that we are always expected to pay while other clubs have superior FTA options.

    Zero defensive pressure inside our 50

    That's been the most disappointing thing so far, Moonie.

    We put more pressure on then around the contest and it resulted in a goal.  We need to lift big time in that area.

    Seriously, where is the talk?  Why in the world do we need three going up when Gawn can take the mark?  Ridiculous play.

    • 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.
