Buddy - one of the greatest 21st century players - is cooked. Being annihilated one-on-one most weeks, and being well beaten by an average footballer today.

The Pies are woeful. Even Pendlebury, Sidebottom and Quaynor are missing easy targets. Confidence is totally gone.

De Goey is a 2-quarter star. Comes in, does some amazing stuff, then switches off. Almost every week. Needs a fresh start and a coach who can get him to fulfill his potential.

    Apart from Coll and Ess, couldn’t have picked a better team for North’s first win.

    According to David King, 1-8 isn’t a premiership. I thought it was, I feel so silly.

    Home from work at 3pm. Watch some of the Pies game to see them lose to the Swans = enjoyment. See North overcome the Poos and Wees = even more enjoyment. Feeling all warm and fuzzy, feeling good.

    Turn over to the Q clash - what the hell are Brisbane wearing? That guernsey is illegal and immoral for anything from ballet to hand-to-hand combat. It hurts the eyes!

    Collingwood fan forums would be a fun place right now.   A creditable four goal first term, followed up by the utter mediocrity of one (ONE!!) goal for the rest of the game.

    Great time for North to get a morale boost. They have Essendon next week.

    Were they 'celebrating too much'? ?

    Good to see Ratten call out the lack of frees for the dropping and throwing the ball by Geelong.

    It used to be mainly the Bulldogs but now more teams are taking advantage of the lax enforcement of the rules.  Not enforcing the rules may speed up the game which is what the AFL wants but if all clubs start dropping and throwing the ball and go unpenalised then it will be a free for all.

    I noticed that too. There seems to be a lax interpretation for Geelong infringing. In one chain of play starting deep in Saints forward line going to the wing  I saw an unpunished clear throw and two blatant dropping the ball events all committed by Geelong players. And I only watched 5 minutes of the game.

    Dwayne Russell on SEN yesterday had a long interview with Hayden Kennedy, outgoing umpiring director. It had me climbing the walls with frustration and disgust. The complacency of this guy towards the game he is supposed to be a custodian of really should have him run out of town. If he wasn't already retiring, he should do so now out of shame.

    I won't bore you with the detail but his attitude towards policing throwing would make you gag. God forbid that one legal handball might be penalised! Oh no, let's let 100 throws go through, instead. Apparently it's better that way. And he had the sheer effrontery to say that enforcement of holding the ball is going well, and also he thinks the fans have a good understanding of what constitutes prior. God help us all.

    With friends like Kennedy, the AFL competition does not need enemies.

    But, bottom line, the AFL management do not give a [censored] about any of this.

    See my comments in Current Umpiring. Heard the same and just had to laugh. Of course AFL accredited Dwayne never asked ONE hard hitting question. Suck suck to the AFL. The best part were the phone calls after Kennedy left. Really good questions and Dwwwayne just kept to the AFL line. Something really serious needs to be done with the umpiring department. Getting rid of SHocking would be a good start.

    • 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.
