Just wanted to thank The HawthornFc for taking Frost out of our Backline. Cheers. 

The difference now with Tomlinson backing up May and Lever is like chalk n cheese. And agree thank HFC

 

This game just re-affirms how big it will be beating Cats and Hawks because both good in spurts but average for vast stretches.

 

Yet another goal from

a Selwood throw 

The one thing this shows is that we cannot allow Geelong too much time on the ball.


The cat's aren't exactly fast are they. I hope the Hawks stay in this game and make them earn it.

carlscum have what, about 80k+ members and only 24.5k can turn up? 

Going to be hard to beat Geelong and the umpires next week. Absolute armchair ride here.

Both teams playing pretty messy footy

very much agree

Cats just that little better and of course a couple of goals in those last few minutes.

Hawkins not afraid to use his body and risk a free when rucking in the forward line. Easily negated by a big leap and knock but the trouble is you can't be sure where the big tap will go to.

Does anyone else think Geelong are the most boring team in the AFL...

I will go back and watch a bit more in a mo but seriously they make doing some housework interesting.

Whorethorn are having a real crack, but their skills are shocking. 

Jeeelong are playing the full press game. 
 

very interesting tactics

Geelong’s defense is their main strength. Should be a low scoring affair. They are immensely gettable though.

Higgins out with a Hammy. Who’s going to snipe Oliver now?

Geez Geelong have been unimpressive. 

May and Lever will be salivating at how slowly Geelong are moving the ball.  If we keep the defensive running effort up, harassing the ball carriers and stay reasonably well organised, it'll be an intercept marking party.

They are in real trouble without Dangerfield to break things up and create attacks.

I'm quietly hoping Petracca puts on a show to make them really feel how much they are missing that attacking power.

Oops, and that's Higgins gone, so they are even thinner for the inside-50 deliverers.

  • 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.
