If Weideman kicks a bag tomorrow he has to be an automatic replacement for Petty.

And where would you play him,half back?

    Max needs a bit of a rev up I reckon. Hope the boys get around him and get him going. 

    Maxy definitely struggling again. He’s actually tapping to Swans mids!!!

    If we open up the forward 50 for BBB we will win by 6 goals plus

    Leave him one out with the forward flankers streaming towards goal for a crumb 

    their backline is strong on the ground and in the contest - we need to clear it out!

    Im sorry but 9 times as many centre clearances is an absolute disgrace.

    Swans tackle count much higher too.

    Come on Lever.. Rivers.. especially Hunt and Gus.get going for goodness sake.

    Jackson shut down as is Fritta.

    Goodsy needs to give them a serve re pressure.

    Congrats Oliver...Spargo...Tmac... bbb...Max... May and Langdon.

    But please make our tackles harder.

    McDonald (back) + Wiedeman > McDonald forward + Petty

    Petty isn't the future. He's not an AFL standard defender, no way known.

    Should be 4 goals up. We kicked well early but missed 2 soda set shots there and Tracc needs to nail those snaps if he is to be elite. Hopefully second half we get our goal kicking accuracy right.

    Harmes has justified his selection

    Pre-bandage Harmes was horrible. Poor decisions.

    Post-bandage Harmes better. Perhaps the head bandage changed his mindset?

    Bit in that.

    Enjoyed the games of Harmes and Jordon so far. Harmes has justified his selection and Jordon continues to improve. 

    Benny Brown looks more of an aerial threat today compared to last week.

    Dees by 30.

    Once Harmes stopped trying to break every tackle he got better.

    Jordon has been good, the cleanness of ball use will come with games and belief he has that few moments to compose before distribution.

    Kicking efficiency at only 50 percent that quarter. Clean that up and we'll get somewhere.

    Love you Max but your goal kicking stinks big time. U 2 trac.

    Kozzie was in space with no one on him coming from behind on his right side.  No one within cooee...just off the bench maybe.

    Doesn't usually happen unless 50 out or more but with Maxy on a pretty severe angle (for him) they might wanna consider dishing off to a better kick like Kozzie on the run in this situation.  Has to be a better percentage chance surely 

    ANB doing some nice things, Melk, loved that 1st goal when heat was on, Tmac work down the ground was key, he can go back but then the 1st goal was clutch. Lever jumping up and down with frustration was funny. So many moments in this game be still my beating heart. God bless Langdon. Benny doing exactly what we wanted. So many more comments for the end of game.

    Also kudos/ hat tip to Longmire - he is scaring the crap out of me, Syd winning clearances, stalled our intercept marking and has numbers at the ball. That said how good are the Dee's didn't drop their bundle - thanks Goodwin!

    Imagine not looking that good as a 21 year old, 12 game key defender. 

    There is 0% chance they drop him now. Show him some belief. He will deliver in the back half of the year.

    Gosh Petty looks very shaky. Needs to significantly build up his strength. 

    Thought Harmes has been ok to good. Max a bit quiet again, though came into it a bit more during the second.

    Quite a few have the fumbles.........calm down and play simple footy.

    Petty’s having an absolute shocker. He started poorly but improved in the Hawthorn game so let’s see what the second half brings. 

    Should be 4 goals up after the dominance we had for the first 15 minutes of that quarter. 

    If the ground is as greasy as the aisles here, I’m not surprised the kicking efficiency is down. Few slipping as well.

     

    Fritta has to get his [censored] together. He’s all over the shop. 
    Clearances. Clearances. Clearances. It’s the only way to get Sydney to stop riding our arses

    • 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.
