Now that's what we lack coming inside... a beautiful finish kick

 
 

Umpires aside we are struggling big time. Very same same. Lots of players out of form. Can't score easily and defence is starting to falter 


What about the free kick for Weightman just jumping on players heads and getting no where near the ball? [censored] [censored].

    And again, all our hard work undone because we don't man up. Bont free? Lever outdone by a third gamer?

    Neither of those two disposals that got to Bontempelli were handballs.

    Well done umpires. Pay [censored] frees all night so that our players can’t take a tackle and reset. 

    They've won. We should get ten frees in the last five minutes

    Hagen done bugger all all night and now kicks this. That's the difference, they've kicked the goals when they had to, we haven't


    Game on the line and our midfield gets touched up. Nothing more obvious.

    Holding the ball, then elbow into Salem’s head - ball up

    Harmes and Hibberd are hopeless.

     

    Yep they've both done very little all night. 

    Would have have had Harmes on Bont and Viney on Libba all night

    Another coaching fail.

    AND TO ADD SALT TO THE WOUND, HANNAN SEALS THE GAME.

    We were poor. Gave the dogs so much space

    Good mini comeback, but when the chips are down Bont is  king out of the centre


    Win or lose. Goodwin needs to lose his [censored] about the free kick count. Make it public. Times to do the Clarkson tactics. We are being shafted in a massive way.

     

    Fair few plodders out there for us tonight. Brayshaw, Salem, Harmes, Hibberd, Langdon all poor.

    That’s one win in the last month. Coaching staff needs to reset this group. Season is teetering on the edge now.

    • 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.
