Corky according to post match interview with Ling. He'll be right.

Corky but it won’t be a minor one, could hear the hit from 2nd level. He stayed down a while too.

Dude you must be watching a different game. Was excellent tonight.

12 disposals 3 marks and 3 tackles (that I admit I didn't see). That's not excellent.  Needs to play with Spargo's intensity or get dropped. 

Oliver, Spargo, Jordon in the last, effort and skills.

Backline absorbed everything 

We can scrap.

Petty stopped his opponent who was good last week.

Passengers again.

Tried to be cute with handballs in the wet

TMac, well done.

Good coaching, our structures make us difficult to play well against.

The opposition think they can have cheap shots at us, we used to take it and wilt. Now we fight back and laugh at them.

Good hard fought win.

Harmes was great. it's easy to get excited about the shiny and new (Sparrow), but sometimes the old and worn in is just what you need. I thought he was awesome.

May was HUGE. 

Fantastic last 3 quarters.  The extra grunt needed and involved in many critical chains.   little sloppy at times, especially in the first but coming back from a decent lay off.

Broke plenty of tackles and worked his [censored] off to get to the contest.

Welcome back son!

Awesome win! great to beat the swans at their own game.

Bring on Carltank......

I wasn't able to see the game (but am now enjoying this read!?) so in case they don't feature again anywhere, could someone post 1. RDB singing the Song, 2. The post-match Tom MacDonald.

 

Has someone checked if Weideman is ok? Must be swearing at the TV every time Tommy goes near it ?

 

I loath playing Sydney. We played their way the whole game and still won! Just brilliant.

Team win.

They closed down our stars and avenues to goal but we soldiered on.

Kudos to Jordon, Harmes, TMac etc. who all stepped up.

They'll be hard to beat if they get a home final, the Swannies.

A good 8 point win for us in some respects as the swans are going to beat plenty others this year. Just not the dees.

 

Oliver and Tomald match winners. 
I wanted Tomald to go back, I was wrong about that, but I’m not a fan of Petty at all. Looks a level below everyone. 
 

Jomes Jerdan was great, hard at it. Looks like he’ll end up one of those reliable, tough accumulators. 
 

Love Spargo’s work rate, that checkside was so cool in traffic. 
 

I didn’t mind Melksham’s game, did some nice things. 

Love how Gawn stepped up and said ok Hickey, that’s enough  

I can’t stand Papley, worst celebrations in sport. 
 

May ?

If there’s a better sight in football than Ronald Dale Barassi singing Grand Old Flag then I don’t need to know about it.

I can think of one.

Some of Charlie Spargos efforts in that last qtr were first class. Won’t get stats for them but went a long way to stopping their run. Brilliant stuff!

TMac was huge tonight and Steven Mays shutdown on Buddy as good as it gets.

Ugly match. But we’ll take the win.❤️?❤️?

8 and zip!!!!!

Dammit, was that the first time this year we haven't won the last quarter?  2.1 to Syd 2.2?

Yes.

We still are yet to be behind in the fourth quarter at any stage this year, though.

I'm going (have gone) on record to say I'm sticking fat with Harrison Petty, irrespective of Tom McDonald being an awesome forward again. He's young and inexperienced key defender, but given the chance to settle and develop cohesion with May and Lever, he WILL deliver.

He kicked one opportunist goal but burnt teammates four five times.

On this year's form 800k a year is not well spent.

Our first win over Buddy?

Alex Georgiou destroying Buddy in 2014 was definitely a win in my books. 

That waw as good a win as I've witnessed from this club.

Centre clearances still give me nightmares (clear as day it was going to be a major issue against Norf), but thank God for Tom McDonald.

We are better when Jackson is rucking. 

What I like is that we're not depending on the same few players each week and, let's face it, they can't all be best on ground every game.  Last week it was Fritsch driving the bus.  Tonight he was very quiet but TMac and Brown stepped up.

We've won some games fairly easily, some by a smaller margin and tonight held out for a very tight win.  In every game, we've been challenged at some stage and have fallen goals behind before prevailing.

These are things that good teams do.

My only disappointment is that we lost the last quarter (by a single measly point)for the first time this season.

Go Demons and let's give those horrible Blues a belting next week.

Completely agreed. Key defenders take time. He will be a good player. Be patient.

May gets a $4k coffee machine and says Clayton probably deserves it more!

Maysie was good but not sure he was even top 5.

  • Harmes was excellent
  • Brown good - can't wait til he's fully fit in another few weeks
  • Spargo massive (metaphorically speaking)
  • T Mac is back, if he wasn't already
  • Desperately need Viney back in - takes so much heat off Trac & Clarry
  • Not convinced on Petty yet but will judge in a few weeks
  • Fritsch terrible, looked lazy, hope he cops a rocket

  • 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.
