OLIVER GET INVOLVED!!!!FFS, THIS IS THE 2ND WEEK IN A ROW HE HAS PLAYED LIKE A VFL 2NDS PLAYER IN THE FIRST HALF.

 

FRISTCH HIT A BLOODY TARGET GOING INSIDE 50! JACKSON YOU TOO. FFS.

TERRRRRRRRIBLE QUARTER!!!

Try the decaf?

 

So many attempts to hit up short targets, and shallow ones, coming inside 50 into a crowded zone.

Need to use the short ground and get it deep to the front of the goal square more often to mix things up, put pressure on the defenders and give the talls are fair chance to mark/smalls to crumb.

The short stuff is too often, too predictable and in such a crowded forward line, spoiled too often.

Go longer.  And this is where BB would have been slightly harder to defend had he been instructed to play deep IMHO vs the Weid whose DNA sees him more likely to play higher and on the lead.

Jackson - 6 marks in a quarter of footy. Nice.

don't care. turned it over going inside 50m multiple times. ****house

 

The pies are bringing us to their level. The challenge now is to get it back on our terms.

Oliver needs to lift. In a quarter where we had 113 disposals for the quarter,  he only had 3.

Oliver was far from our only problem that quarter.

Jackson, ANB, Jordan and May good so far.

Weeds hasn't got anywhere near the ball.

Oliver quiet.

Our first quarters have been so often underwhelming. We're ahead. Confident we'll smash them.

well, OK.

Oliver 3 touches. Needs to get on his bike. 

Clarrie got on his bike!!!


Just now, ucanchoose said:

That wasn't a block

That was against petty though


To Collingwoods credit they are doing exactly the right thing. Not letting us move the ball cleanly and blocking the outlet on the Langdon wing. Well done to them. 

How does Kozzi do what he does and then drop a chest mark?? Absolute sitter inside 50

 

Block on Petty not paid 

These [censored] maggots - don’t call blatant frees then recall a bounce that was still in the middle circle - FMD

  • 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.
