    Thought May was actually decent. Shut down Elliot in the first half but then went on Mihocek and I think he kicked one on him. The other goals were on Petty.

    Petty was poor, although Darcy Cameron was gifted two of them by the umpire.

    I'll preface this by saying I like petty but he was destroyed yesterday.

    Can mark pretty well but his decision making on when to mark and when to spoil is not yet there. Too often gets bodied out of the contest.

    And when he gets the ball in a close situation his first thought is to grab the ball tight and fall to the ground, I guess attempting to force a stoppage.

    I find it hard to know whether this is being coached into him or whether he is nervous about his place in the side or if he genuinely doesn't have an attacking mode.

    He's young and the jury is still out but I would like to see more progress from him soon.

    May didn't play on Elliott in the first half. He was on Cameron. 

    Hibberd was on Elliott. 

    May would never play on Elliott.

    Oliver poor kicking.

    When the game was in the balance, quarters 1 and 4 he didn't lay a single tackle and had 7 possessions for those 2 quarters combined. hopeless.

    I'd like to see Petty having a couple of runs as a forward instead of 'you know who'. Some specialist coaching and experience might be very handy. There is quite a deal of skills and intellect in the forward's role, and perhaps, he might display these to good effect.

    My parallel observer of the TV coverage of the game counted 10 hits to Oliver's head (most from behind as haymakers) before half time so I guess the effects were quietly carried across the rest of the game. As we know, Max  gets his unfair share of these head and neck clouts each match despite the failing, oblivious eyes/decision-making of the snot goblins.

    Gawn and Oliver are repeatedly assaulted during matches.

    May was definitely standing Elliott when he was in front of us at the Randwick end. It was an obvious mismatch of size but Elliott was not able to use any speed advantage so it worked but May dropped a couple and fumbled uncharacteristically.

    He did take the first grab in the mark thar Cameron was paid but he was not directly standing him. Elliott certainly got away from him in Third quarter.He stood Mihohek a few times. Our defence did seem to hold positions while Pies forwards rotated. The subsequent confusion created was responsible for the looseness that led to goals. But the defence did not lse the game. Our forwards lost it and their defence won it through better marking and distribution.

    TMac - was fully dilated

    Sparrow - caught too often

    Petty - shades of OMac

    Weed - over and out

    JJ - a consistent performer

    Kozzie - doesn’t do enough 

    Goodwin - a wakeup call

    Chook Fowler - seriously peed off

    Need to play Petty Foward or he will turn into OMac

    I'd love Petty forward instead of Weideman. Petty has showed promise in his 1 game trialled as a forward.

    The accuracy and speed of delivery to their forwards by the pies was par excellence and our defenders were limited in stopping them.

    Was a great performance and I hope we took notice. Our mids blew it as much as our forward line did imho.

    The [censored] who stuffed the May hands on the mark, paid htb against Sparrow who had kicked it away and a deliberate when it was hand balled to a Demon as well as the no htb on Blicavs which cost the lions the game. He is hopeless. Will probably get the GF.

    And who will take his rôle until Tomlinson returns to defence?  Majak?

    But SHocking and Gil tell us repeatedly that  the head is sacrosanct, and if course Christian does too (when the commentators highlight it) ?

    AFL should be hammered for letting this happen:

    - Mummy & Nankervis thugs, opponent beats me oh I’ll hit him in the head

    - if DeGoey got sent off for a quarter would have a better effect (replay should be used on this type of crap)

    • 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.
