Great team performance, will put my hand up as one who thought it was more important to tag the outsiders as opposed to cutting off the source.

Really good move cutting Libba out and anyone who uses Brayshaws stats to judge his performance doesn’t know what they are talking about 

 
 

Shout out to Gus for his game. Epitome of sacrificing for the team. Only got it a dozen times but regularly won or halved 1 on 1s. Deserves votes

Controlled and hungry. 
A beautiful thing. 

Nice, continuous application of mongrel, too, delivered without animosity, just an attitude of a classy team.

Still haven't beaten anyone above us on the ladder...

That's standard

Felt good bout this going in so plonked $50 on us at $2.35.....great night only marred by the fact we couldn’t be there

 

Time to start watching the replay

Awesome game. I tipped us by 10, they surpassed my wildest expectations 

Best on ground, Harmes? Maybe, huge game. But geez, Gus aye. Selfless. So important tonight.


The lesser likes for me. 
Harmes, Spargbol, ANB, Jordon. So clean and hard and don’t stop working. Really good from those 4 plus Brayshaw shutting down a wing. 
 

Oliver is head and shoulders above their much lauded midfield. 
 

Great win in a weird to watch game.

James Harmes best game in a long time

Agreed, for all the times i've critised him this season and last his game was brilliant tonight. I hope for more of it.

Lever B.O.G for me being mindful i missed the first quarter.

I'll be completely honest, I didn't see that coming. It looked weird seeing us play with no crowd and I think in a low of ways that helped us. The dogs looked unable to get "up" whereas I think we were always going to be up for a fight after the shock loss last week.

I'm not able to really do much rundown but Gus and Brayshaw deserve a lot of praise. Did great jobs this week.

Im convinced 

We are the real deal.

So much for the "Medical" sub

Won't be long until the calls come for - "just make it a 5th Interchange"... and then a call for a 6th as Sub

Deja vous

Brayshaw had a cracker of a game. Best game of the season imo. 

Best 13 possession game I have ever seen


Huge game.

They dominated the stats and had tonnes of the ball but the stats don't show you how much they were mucking around with it because of our pressure and defensive set up.

A massive team effort. Oliver was dominant but this was as much about the stars as it was about lesser lights, like Harmes tagging Libba, Jordon's midfield role, Weideman continuing to present despite having a poor first half, Spargo/ANB/Pickett gut running repeatedly to keep the pressure on, Brayshaw's amazing defensive game on the wing.

We had to match them in the middle and we did, winning CPs by 21. We had to dominate the air and we did, +5 marks inside 50, +9 contested marks and a lot more intercept marks (can't find that stat).

There will be those who qualify this win, noting that they were missing Treloar, Dunkley, Wood and Martin, and arguing the lack of a Dogs home crowd helped us. But [censored] them. We brought our defensive A-game and our pressure A-game and like Richmond, a top 4 contender couldn't go with us.

Some of us know Pennant. My only post on the game day thread was stop Libba and we are a chance and Harmes was the obvious one. Thought Harmes was great.

Gee I hope COVID doesn’t screw up this season.

 

This is the best chance of a flag in my lifetime (I’m 45).

 

One good thing about the lockdown.  While everyone thinks I am working from home, I will be watching the replay twice a day

  • 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.
