    It shows how much the crowd would influence the umpires if they were screaming. Its just natural. i really hope we have an empty stadium

     

    But somehow they are still getting the better of the decisions from the mags

    I think you’ll get your wish. Can’t see a VIC crowd by 21 August.

    If the AFL make the dreaded Perth September decision, the Geel V Dees game could even be at Perth’s Optus Stadium.

    Friggin Geelong - appealing for deliberate OOB when the ball didn't even go out.  I guess they thought that the crowd (BT says there is a crowd) would influence the maggot.

    Right? Clearly didn’t go OOB but they appealed nonetheless. Pathetic knee jerk reactions from a side that knows the match is lost and instead of galvanising they’ll revert to desperate pleading for something that isn’t there. God, how I hate them.

    How good has Taylor been on Hawkins? He's a nice kick too. You'd expect Hawkins to have most in the contest but Taylor has beaten him a number of times and taken multiple important intercept marks.

    Geelong are the walking wounded tonight, Giants have just lost Daniel but they should have the fresher legs. 

    Walking wounded, from a RSL WW1 retirement home.

    Daniel subbed out through concussion from Selwood’s bump. He HAS to be suspended. Minimum one week (give him an extra week to be sure 😉).

    Geelong % won't matter to us (unless they manage a draw sometime soon).

    FFS  yet another 50 m free shot at goal - the maggots should get the coach's award from Scott

    Green a genuine high tackle (no even a Selwoodesque one) in goal kicking range ignored.

    It effects Port who are 1 win behind them. Could be the difference between us playing Port or Geelong finals week 1.

    Though Cats now only 4 goals behind, so % might well be moot

    But it probs would be two- or threefold had there been a crowd.

    Can someone work out if Geeling lose tonight what does that mean in terms of how many wins we need to secure top 4?

    If they lose tonight, and we beat them in 2 weeks time,  we could drop one of the next 2 and still finish above them on the ladder.

    Does anybody else hear the pure disappointment from BT and Brayshaw when the Cats don’t score, and the lack of enthusiasm when the Giants score?

    I miss Clinton, he got excited for the game, not the club.

    Selwood just bought a free far softer than the one ignored (won't say missed as that could imply a degree of impartiality) to Greene.  Almost resulted in a goal.

    • 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.
