Dusty won the game for Richmond and Oscar kept Carlton in the game.

    [censored] you Richmond.

    Why do they do the little things so well? Doesn’t even take talent. But they do them better than anyone.

    Dusty is an absolute freak though.

    Is there anything worse than a player that kicks a goal rubbing the hair of the defender. Complete lack of respect and class. 

    you have to respect your opponent

    Yes but take Dusty out of that contest and they probably lose. But that is why teams win multiple flags there is always a  great player driving the success. Barassi, Matthews, Hodge, Hird, Dusty.

    Sam is not soft. Never squibs a contest and plays the ball hard. And doesn’t crap his pants when he has a shot on goal

    Weideman is soft as [censored]. Often gets monstered by the opposition key back

    Well, one things is for sure.

    BT & JB along with Jobe and Hodgey were appalling.

    Fair point. If there’s less stoppages as a result of the new rules and game styles, then our strength (stoppages and contests) is taken away and our weakness (clean kicking and maintaining possession) is magnified.

    They got closer to the Tigers than we did last year.

    Yes i was thinking about that

    Goodwin has coached a different game style. 
    we need players who spread and shepherd each other!!

    Carlton played into the tigers hands and nearly won.

    Good on them but playing that way against Richmond you will lose four out of six.

    Not sure what style is required but the slow maul is pobably better.

    I noticed the importance of fast hands tonight, teams who handball the quickest will do well (bulldogs come to mind)

    Thought Carlton did the overlap handball  really well. Wonder if that is coming back into vogue.

    Harry McKay really needs to convert better. He has all the tools!

    Noted that tonight, they played a different style, fast direct footy which was great to see, made them look like a far better side than us

    Might be tougher but had zero composure and can’t convert. 

    imagine if the Weed played the 3 quarters McKay played. He’d be crucified on here 

    Haha McKay can't convert,  but yet Weideman missed a simple goal 25m dead in front against Adelaide to win us the game..

    You say it's poor list management we delisted McDonald and now you're saying Weideman is better then McKay?? You really are a Doozy..

    McKay is everything I wish Weideman was at. Weideman has done nothing since that Geelong game. That's nearly 3 years ago now..

    • 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.
