Would have been at the other end. 

That’s 2 that would have gone against us, Pruess after his free was tackled and then Mundy diving in after we got that free.

As Dunstall said you can see Freo is trying to spread us wide/around the zone and we’re just lining up to go down the ground to the contest. 

I wouldn't kick inside either with a 50% DE

    Getting beat in a lot of 50/50's true to form. 19 tackles in a half of a game where the ball isn't able to flow.

    About what was expected.

    I know it's wet but we really do okay slot of horrible down the line for territory footy. Neeld era like

    Vandenberg is a good tackler and that's about it.

    In cricketing terms - 'he bats at 10 and doesn't bowl.' He is good at nothing!

    I don’t know where to start. Fumbles, overusing it, not having players downfield to contest when we do finally clear our lines, no run in attack or defence to create or shut down easy options. Just [censored]. Our only saving grace is that Freo have kept us in it with some shocking finishing work.

    We are so slow. Looks like freo have 6 more players. I guess we won the quarter.

    Ps umps are atrocious. Disgraceful. Unprofessional. Bias. Putrid. Shameful maggots.

    Longmuir would be spewing, Freo should be 4 goals up, make them pay for phark sake.

    We are clueless in the wet.

    49 marks to 14 about sums up our kicking skills

    No system and no smarts

    Too many inside Fumblers

    No space, no hitting a target 

    Why are we trying to possess and finesse so often around stoppage YEats?

    Tap/punch/kick the ball forward or in any direction where you can see space and no opp....and run onto it.  Its wet weather footy.

    We really need to tag Duman. He always tears us to shreds and has dominated the competition for the last decade!

    And that has been different to the last 3 weeks.

    24 goalless quarters under Goodwin, nearly a 25th. Lets hope that stat doesnt rise by end of game. We just look lifeless, an odd cameo from Viney but really we should be behind by a lot. Still a chance, but it's Freos to lose

    All we are doing is going for distance with our kicks, there’s no pin point passes or run and carry.

    Freo are piling on the pressure and we are playing right into their hands.

    • 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.
