A better spreadsheet of the Brisbane scores to make top 4.

There is no need for that spread sheet @Demonland, the only thing that will be getting spread this arvo are the cheeks of West Coast's collective butts.

    First of all let's just win tonight then we'll start talking.

    Outside of the MCG and Marvel where in Australia have the Dees played there best Football and their record has stood up in the past 5 years?

    Answer: Adelaide Oval its a no brainer, logistically its a 1 hour flight, the players love the ground.

    What more is there to say.

    You live there so you can get along to support the team. And bring along as many crows fans as you can muster (if we are playing Port)

    The Blues would have to be as kind in their farewell of Teague as they were in his first game as coach. Can’t see it happening because he’s lost the players.

    Brett Ratten the only half decent coach at Carlton in the past two decades was sacked by the club. The other half dozen coaches were sacked by the players. Expect a 100 points loss to farewell Teague.

    probably likely......

    .....but, sometimes these situations go the other way

    We farewelled Roos with a 100 point loss. Shameful effort from our players that day

    Not sure of the logic here. 

    If we win tonight, we can still end up in Adelaide for the prelim - they win their first final, we lose ours. Puts us in their half of the draw. 

    Sorry your right, I just felt this was the most unlikely scenario.  They would need to beat the Cats in week 1. If not then they will never have a choice of ground for the Prelim. Anyone playing them from the Week 1 winners will opt for Gabba or Optus I would have thought.

    I just want what's best for the footy club home state aside.

    I always had a soft spot for Frosty with his effort and aggression (and still do) but christ im happy with May/Lever/Petty down back and not stressing seeing him near the ball.

    He did everything right in the last contest getting in front to take a game winning intercept mark only for him to fumble it and his man kicks the game drawing goal.

    Bachar Houli has been the only likeable bloke on that team. And a very good player as well.

    Brisbane have kicked 40 goals the last 2 weeks. Think I’d rather play Port

    Who have they played! Pies and Dockers...not what you would say are great defensive teams with lots of talent on song.

    What a fix up that was at the MCG.

    kind of fitting and sums up 2021 with that draw. Deep down Clarko would not be happy with his team giving up the last 5 goals.

    Looks like the Eagles can be bothered today. Lions will have to work hard to get the percentage they need

    • 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.
