Underwhelming so far

Hard to do well when your whole first choice midfield isn’t playing to give you first use of the footy.

Bulldogs have loose players all over the ground. The always have a loose player around the packs to flick it out to. 

Yeah, we are getting sucked to the contest to quickly, where they have the experience to know to keep one out the back and trust someone will win the ball.

Kick out strategy is still non existent. After 4 years

You must watching a different game to me then

 

When Hunt was run down earlier for holding the ball two players were nearby with arms open asking for the ball, good to have options but they have to be alert, talk and protect the ball carrier. Happens too often with us. Better end to the quarter though.

rubbish free kick. naughton played for the high contact

James Jordon is so far ready for senior footy. Drops a simple mark then gives away a silly free kick. 

Hasn't impressed at all.

Dogs up by 5

No Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney, Melksham ........Defended well. Our small half forwards need to get to work

I was clearly joking. But yes our lack of midfielders is clearly killing us. 
Also our forwardline is hot garbage.

It’s a practice match

but jeez we look average (again)

It’s hard to take this result seriously. We are missing 6-7 of our best 22 including basically our entire midfield except Trac.

I'm patient mate, but he hasn't started well.

 

If we keep playing like this,  don’t be fooled by a last quarter rally when the dogs have put the queue in the rack. This is awful.

  • 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.
