This will make most Essendon supporters sleep a little uneasy tonight. Keep dashing hopes you Giants.

    GWS feel like they've kicked about 10 goals from the goalsquare in the last couple of games.

    Oh well, they've enjoyed a run that history will view very strongly.

    A team that won 3 flags and turned the league on its head in terms of re-defining defensive pressure. Well done to them.

     

    Now, if only West Coast could do us a favor and implode in a similar manner.

    Nice to see that the work experience kid is still at AFL House despite lockdown.

    Tigers - yellow and black.  Umpires - yellow and black.  

    It just beggars belief when they could have gone with fluoro green, light blue or even white for the umps.

    On the money again Stone. For such a professional organisation, the umpire's chosen attire is regularly colour-blind.

    Is it just me or are all the Richmond players porky??

    Perhaps Hardwick should make the move? Give Lynch a run on the ball?

    thought you meant the move to the boardroom with his resignation letter.

    GWS is missing Greene, Green, Coniglio, Davis, Daniels, Finlayson, Hill and Reid (along with some season-ending injuries to Flynn, Keeffe and Buckley).

    They could be a handful come finals. If they beat Carlton next week that puts them in prime position for 7th and potentially a final vs Sydney, the best draw possible for them.

    They look good, but I'm sure a lot of it is due to Richmond being just absolutely pathetic.

    Just turned the sound on as I’d been watching on mute whilst doing other things. I now regret that move.

    Regardless of outcome and who gets it - this statue on the mark rule is just so absolutely counterintuitive.   
    I know some like it but a 50 penalty for running backwards or a step sideways is just such an overkill.

    The Stand rule is rubbish. Man the mark and you can move if you like - UNLESS the umpire calls Stand. If you hear that you can’t move. If you hear him say play on you can move. 

    ridiculous that the rule is based on the ability of a player to hear the ump. Could be trouble on GF day

    This might have been fair to say in Round 1.

    But it's Round 22. No excuses. Stand on the mark, don't move. It's not hard.

    That's not the rule at all.

    There haven’t been many of them but I’d hate to lose a game or a final because of it.

    Don't mind Daisy's observations and analysis at all! Knowledgeable and informative. To a lesser extent, ditto for Lepper.

    But BT and JB? Yeah. Nah. Hopeful and misplaced drama their default.

    • 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.
