They're taking it easy and winning by 22 points.

Just get the win and no injuries and I'll be happy.

Hope you're right.

Last match against Crows, we were 16 points up with a few minutes to go .... then lost.

    What does Angus Brayshaw add to our team?

    In the position he is playing, zilch. But what if a mid goes down during the game? He’s good cover for that purpose.

     

    Back at the 'G next Sat according to Tom Morris ?? (forget his name)

    Running at 3/4 pace today. Understandable given the past couple of weeks. Just do enough to win.

    Not sure playing at the G in finals is all that much of an advantage to us. It's not like we dominate there

    That can’t be right, it’s their home game.

    We play better at Doglands.

    That’s it. This is a dead rubber. We just need to get through it

    The whole side has been in quarantine and Aeroplanes lately

    Prediction 8 goal quarter to the Dees this quarter

    I feel like it’d be a great idea to have 2 game day threads. One negative, one positive. I drifted in here at half time and feel like I missed the part where we are 12 goals down.

    🤷‍♂️

    I think the mandate today was just get it done.

    No need for a smashing.

    May be due to Sydney v Gold Coast needing a venue.

    Playing in 18 degree heat in August off 5 day turnaround after a red eye from Perth doesn’t help.

    Boys looked stuffed on the HT siren

    Time to put the pedal down a la Brisbane yesterday.

    The last quarter for the last two matches haven't been stellar

     

    Bravery from Smith!

    • 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.
