We need a quick response to remind the Doggies that they're not going to catch us.

Why are our players told to stand on mark but theirs aren’t - but they can stand within 5mtrs.

    Slow the last minute down. No break neck stuff this centre bounce.

    This has been a bad period started by Melksham not going hard enough for the loose ball and getting the deliberate call.

    I always regret having a sneaky peak at the Gameday thread.

    Good half but disappointing last minutes.

    Well Dogs right back in this thanks to 5 rubbish minutes of loose play. You cannot let off the Dogs even for 1 minute.

    Max mate... max.... 

     

    Take the mark, and walk straight backwards every time. Umps are waiting for you to look sideways before paying ‘Play On’

    What for? Being blocked off the ball… stop looking to make yourself look smart.

    Why was Max called to play on then, he went straight back. Suddenly rushed kick makes it hard.

    Max having another mare.  Go back from just outside 50 ...take some seconds off the clock.  Kick it inside 50 for a possible mark close to the boundary or just outside.  Instead goes to play on straight away putting himself and everyone else under pressure and allowing the Dogs another rebound and potential entry inside 50.  Thank Lucifer Gus was playing his role across HB!!

    I would have taken that half time score before the game. 

    Just regroup & get back to what we did right in the first quarter

    Our inability to kick on from five goal leads is painful.

    Against the best team in the comp?  Geez

    Geez the dogs are brilliant at the quick handball, but they really do get away with a few throws. It’s like the umpires are scared to call it due to how good they do handball

    Good half but still plenty of work to do. Let them back into it the last 10 minutes. Defensive key in the second half. Need to bring more heat

    • 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.
