Brayshaw was MAGNIFICENT tonight. 
 

GO DEES

Brayshaw best game for the year

 

Really good to see Sparrow have a good finals game, he’s been building for it all year. 
 

I am almost scared to say it, but we are in a very healthy position leading into the next two games. Everyone is chipping in and we are playing with a real purpose as a group

A very impressive win against a very good side. Viney did a sensational job on Zorko who had 0 score involvements. Sparrow was terrific. ANB did a great job on Rich. Jackson and Rivers so composed under pressure. Fritta brilliant. Gus was excellent. They tried to play down his wing and it backfired.
And of course my man Oliver. What a star. He is a genuine freak. Two games away from becoming an all time great for this club.

Both wingers very good tonight

Loved Sparrow's game. Can see him becoming something quite special, which I wouldn't have said 10 weeks ago. 

Loved that hard groundball clash he had with McCarthy.  They both went in hard and neither one went head-first looking for the cheap free.  Perfect technique from both players, great contested clash and Sparrow damn near killed the guy when they hit.  🤣

Are both prelims and GF in Perth? Maxy said we’re off to Perth tomorrow.

At this stage the grand final is at the MCG.

(why they haven’t yet conceded it is just insulting to the public)


YOU BEAUTY!

We are built to play finals footy and it showed tonight. Their midfield was on top early but Gawn wrestled control back from McInerney and from there we controlled play for most of the match. Had we kicked straight in the second and Brown nailed his third quarter miss we could by that stage have been 10 goals up.

Fitness again coming to the fore I reckon. McStay's injury doesn't impact their ability to run the game out as the sub negates the lack of a rotation, but in the fourth quarter we had all the running.

Our A-graders carried us but some of our lesser lights were stand outs. Langdon's first half was terrific, Rivers was rock solid, Sparrow might have played his best game in his career, and the much-maligned Brayshaw, Harmes and Viney all played great games I thought.

We bullied a full strength dominant clearance midfield and held the highest scoring side in the comp to their second-lowest number of scoring shots and second-lowest score of the year. We kept the king of the fl*gs, Daniher, goalless for the first time this year. And we put up 93 points and 28 scoring shots when everyone says our scoring is our weakness.

Now we get the week off, which is invaluable this year, we avoid Port Adelaide in Adelaide, and we set ourselves up for a shot at the big dance.

Get the [censored] around us!

Alex Neal-Bullen played his best game ever I reckon

Except for all his great games that don’t get rated as such. He’s a fabulous leader and essential to the heart of this team. 

How is Nibbler in traffic these days!?!? Would win an egg 'n spoon race on Westgate freeway.


Little impact from the 'Barometer' tonight. Unless of course you count cheap hits on actual good AFL players.

He's weak as water and a one trick pony who's no good at the trick

As far as Jackson's tooth is concerned, he should replace it with a gold one !!!

Next game will be the tough one. Win that and the Grand Final will be a walk in the park. Now $2.75 to win the flag.

I rate him highly, much to the chagrin of many on here.

But tonight was his best in my eyes. All the good stuff, 2-way run, tackling, and more possessions at high DE%

Gawn - 7 tackles 

the most tackles in the ground tonight ❤️💙


Seriously good performance tonight. We made them look avg at best.even J Briwn said, don’t worry about the score, that was a 10goal win.

My heart could do with straighter kicking early to nail the coffin shut early. We are in the drivers seat. The destiny is in our control.it’s up to us.

So good! Calm, thoughtful and hits targets. He's had a great year, but reckon he's been getting better each week.

And no, I’m not crying. I’ve just got something in my eye.

  • 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.
