There are a lot of what if's in the draft (as always)

But Pick #9 we selected Weed

Pick #10 Carlton selected McKay

If people are looking at Melksham's stats last week they are looking in the wrong place.Ā  10 d, 9 k and 4 m doesn't look great until they realise he played only 54% game time:Ā  barely played 2 quarters.Ā  I think he is carrying a foot injury perhaps connected to he one which kept him out for a while several years ago.

Last week he enabled two goals in the first quarter with pin point passes, to keep us close to Adelaide.Ā  He barely played after the 1st quarter. Ā  He was far from our worst vs the crows - not even in the bottom 6 given his low game time.

I'm not a Melksham but I can see that he plays a valuable role most weeks.Ā 

He doesn't tackle Melk maybe he's been saving tackles for a big game like tommorow night.

He did haveĀ 5 score involvements against the crows in 54% gametime which is decent.

Can deliver a sumptuous ball on the chest.

Amazing how some just get a free run at it each week.....

Truly bizarre.Ā

I heard this afternoon that it was going to be open.

If it rains and they have to keep it open, will the quick sand favor our game style over the Dogs?

Would have preferred Mitch Brown to Weid frankly

He’s very crafty MitchĀ 

Weid’s Last Stand, starring Charlie Sheen as Weid

Good selections, prove that last week was an off game.Ā  Deliver the ball properly to Weidemen and well Milkshakes is probably lucky

Roof open or closed? Anyone in the know?

It'll be open and it's absolutely rubbish. Window dressing of the highest order! It's seen to be doing something. If there's covid in the stadium it's going to be there roof open or not. Hopefully it doesn't rain and ruin what is to be a good match.Ā 


There is consistency in our selections or non selections this year. Very hard for others to get a look in. I guess a 1 point loss is close to a win, though, our system needs to be looked at, given we were nearly 3 goals up with 7 mins to go. No heads to roll!

I thought Melky did alright in the first half. If he can keep that form for 4 then he will keep his place. Must be on thin ice though.

No mention about Jetts injury. Was it a leg or ankle thing?Ā Anyway, out and the quarter back is up.Ā 

Hunt (who was off last week) and especially Salem are so important for our backline structure and their presence when getting repeat 50 entries and closing down corridors, as are our wings.

The pressure is on Weids. I believe he will rise for the big game.

ANB is also under the pump, but,Ā givenĀ we need to stop some of their players,Ā he should thrive with hard run with's and lockdowns.

Petty will have sorted a few things out by now and could be the big improver.

Fritta won't have two bad games.

Bowey the med sub. Get him used to the regime asĀ Sparrow and Chandler need game time. Can't see us going with BBB.

Addit: no Casey game, so Sparrow to be the med sub

Lots of great match ups, of course the one they all talk about is Trac v Bont, but the match up I'm most looking forward to is Spargo v Daniels.

i wonder whether anb might take him as our fittest player - caleb daniel just runs and runs and runs

i'm also wondering whether harmes goes to liberatore and tries to stop him being so impactful winning contestedĀ ball

there's so many interesting clashes around the ground between types of players

i'm pretty excited to see how we go; it's a massive challenge for both clubs given that the are both in terrific form and playing really well, plus both have had covid distractionsĀ 

gotta curtail their fast ball movement and force them wide and long to contests

Ā 

Surely Sparrow gets the sub. With no Casey game this week he is the most in form and could have the greatest impact if needed.

Would have loved to see Melk as sub instead urgh.

  • 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?Ā I mean by ā€œtheyā€ 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.Ā 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 winningĀ 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.
