I mean so many great tackles unrewarded, and that scrap gets rewarded to Buddy.

    Why are our tackles unrewarded?

    Gawns was a farce.

    If we dont fix our centre clearace issue goody we will lose.

    Trac needs to lift on six million bucks.

    Gus just rocking up.

    Too many sub par efforts in this game.

    Gawn into the middle and we lose all momentum. Jackson has to ruck out the game.

    I do not understand how holding the ball is a different rule in our goal square than it is everywhere else on the ground.

    Rampe took on Spargo and got done cold.

    I’m so annoyed about Fritsch kicking into the man on the mark.

    I’m furious.

    It should NEVER happen.

    He’s having a mare.

    Fritsche is having an absolute mare. Trac thinks he can plow through the entire Sydney team by himself. A bit of bighead about him this week with his new fat bank account.

    We should win this from here, but the Cats thought the same thing last week.

    Hes a kicked a goal but why is there just so much love for melksham?

    9 possies.

    Hes a passenger.

    Just once has he starred in a game thats all and got some votes?

    Be honest folks.

    Again, we dominate the first two thirds of the quarter but don’t convert that dominance into goals. 22 points was good but should have been 2-3 goals more. 

    Couple of critical moments go against us and we end up losing the quarter it’s only a 10 point margin.

    We must take our chances if we want to win this.

    Petty is nowhere near the level needed.

    As for Fritsch....................I’ve produced [censored] harder than he is. He is soft as puck.

    That was a pathetic performance by Gaen and the mids. Getting absolutely flogged in the clearences

    He’s been far from our worst - 15 possessions, 10 contested.

    Was ok in that quarter along with Nibbler and Salem

    Yep and Fritsch needs to lift and do the basics right. The kick into the man on the mark shows he's not switched on. Hunt playing well as is Langdon....

    Did some one forget to tell Fritta he got off. Cos seriously he would have been more effective in the stands. He has so far avoided every contest available. 
    Petty is no good. Any game he plays means we are a player down. 
    Trac tonight is believing the hype and getting caught by being selfish. 
    Max needs to actually lift and stamp his authority on the game.

     

    If Goodwin doesn’t work out the centre square set up we are behind the 8 ball.

    Need a big qtr. Swans have the momentum, we need to get the first 2 goals. 

     

    Sitting right in front of the Buddy HTB decision. The way he jumps on a stationary pack and turns around petulantly looking sat the umpire who pays it... Christ...

    • 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.
