Is anyone else quietly hoping that North upset Sydney today?

North plays Adelaide next week and with a Kangaroo win today and a really good percentage-smashing of Adelaide tomorrow it would actually make next weeks' game a wooden spoon battle.

With Jason Horne on the line, I could see the Crows losing that one while North's recovery through the second half of the season deserves better than the spoon.

Full credit to North - after the bye they've gone 3W 1D 5L and not a single blowout loss in it. That's really impressive in a season that started as badly as Melbourne 2013 (No, wait, nope, nope, just because everyone thought they might go winless for the year doesn't make it that bad...)

 

I just don’t want some little [censored] kicking a goal after the siren in our game…
 

Seeing pretty much all of us (who aren't already in retirement homes) haven't even seen a premiership, it makes

us a bit of joke to be mocking other teams who actually have the Cups in the bank. When we finally do win one

then we have some ground to stand on.

 

 

Not exactly the tastiest of menus today in terms of what’s on offer.

Geelong V St Kilda the pick of the bunch, but that game could go south in a hurry if the “bad” St Kilda rocks up.

You're probably right. However, the difference is that the 'not 15' is necessary to follow long established rules of the game.    

I get that it’s definitely necessary. What I meant is that it can be the worst call when the player in question, ie., the bloke who just marked in front of the oppo’s goals, doesn’t hear it. Provided everyone else heard it, he is sure to be tackled and, even worse, caught HTB. 


Hopefully the Hawks and Saints get over the line today. We can then sew up top spot with a win over the Crows tomorrow and then rest some players against the Cats.

Port says hi.

Five minutes in and 2 holding the ball decisions against Bontempelli. The umpires have been possessed by aliens!

In a standard game I have seen about 10 ‘missed’ frees that would go for the Dogs. I wonder if the fear of Clarkson public lashing has scared them straight - albeit temporarily.

I saw the 64 game and I'm still in my home thanks!!!!

I reckon “not 15” is worse. Especially if you’re a defender who’s just marked in the opposition goal-square. 😬

'Not 15' . . . as it leaves the boot. My brain often thinks the same, but I'm not an AFL umpire. Wait until it doesn't go 15 meters before declaring it hasn't travelled 15 meters maybe? 


Hawthorns pressure is pretty good if they could just make the most of their opportunities they could win. 

Clarko’s parting gift to the Hawks - get as high up the ladder after some late season meaningless wins and cost themselves a mint draft pick after a mostly lousy year.

Jeez, the Dogs look bloody ordinary today.

The Hawks in their 'Clarko's Farewell Tour' are in a good spot to claim another victim

How many clear OOB have gone against hawks ??? PLENTY


Where are all those muppets that said we should have kept Frost? Still an absolute liability. Bulldogs haven't looked like kicking a goal, except for the two times Frost has turned it over.

I picked Hawthorn today, as much as I loathe them. Clarkson is a coaching genius and his game day coaching a particular strength. Watching it now, it looks like the Dogs will come over the top in the 2nd half but It would be great for the Dees to see the Doggies get rolled. 

 

Dogs look horrendous. Mistake ridden. No system. Absolutely all in front of the Hawks now. Brilliant for us if Dogs lose this.

Dogs losing doesn’t really help us if:

Port win twice 

Geelong win twice.

If that’s the case we’ll all be booking flights for Adelaide for the qualifying final.

  • 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.

    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.
