    It’s not like this was unexpected. How ill-prepared these clowns were. 

    They didn’t care, and dare I say it but it must have been AFL sanctioned, fact is many were over fence as Buddy lined up for 1000 and security did nothing 

     

    edit- and personally  I am glad they let the crowd run on

    The spectators feet left the ground before contact, he can accept a one match ban according to the match review panel.

    Well that was an absolute farce. Must say Franklin coped well with the maddening crowd. I wonder how many of those so called supporters will go to another game this year.

    Love the idea of the fans storming in to celebrate but wowser how easy for him/many to be crushed. The amount of kids on the fence prior to him kicking it, seeing people stumbling as they ran out, seeing Lance’s face and breathing eeekk.

    Congrats on the goals, you have give us fans some amazing moments.

    I thought that was brilliant. Yea there were moments of concern, but it's better to have a life of colour than one of sanitised beige orderliness. In the end people largely didnt push-in too much and there was a bit of drunken revelry, no harm no foul. Great scenes, congrats Buddy

    I wonder who the lucky person was who snaffled the footy in the crowd when buddy kicked it. 

    Wouldn’t it be ironic if it was Ricky Nixon, but everyone didn’t believe him?

    Well done buddy.

    But what's with pawing all over his face as he. tried to move to the boundary.  Really weird. 

     

    Made sure my kids watched as its not something that happens much anymore, when was the last 100 goal season?

    I really like Tom Stewart.

    Great player, and conducts himself really well. 

    Should I feel ashamed?

    Yes.

    Sydney and Melbourne the two best teams.

    It’s looking like that. I will be keen to see PA and BL play other teams to see if they are up there. 

    Maybe GWS if they put Rich to the torch.

    Damn it I feel asleep during last quarter and missed Buds 1000. 
    The two games so far this round really show the difference when a team is kicking well. 
    Dogs 13.12 90 v Carlton 16.6 102

    Swans 17.5 107 v Cats 10.17 77

    I think it’s an area that we will need to improve on if we want to win back to back flags.

    Their stars have old legs...they will beat up lesser teams but struggle against good teams.

    Selwood is still good when around the ball and he uses it really well, the trouble is he can't get to enough contests when the ball is moving around quickly. Gone on a year too long...

    ....and he's not on his own.

    The old legs is old news!  Selwood gave away 4 frees, the first of which became a down the field free which, iirc resulted in an early goal for Sydney.  He did little for his team.

    All that aside, my post you quoted was about their 'new', much hailed game plan which failed when pressure was applied.  They looked stuck between their old and their new method.  Neither worked.

    Perfect example of when we take our chances the margin we can win by as was the prelim against Cats19.11 125. 
    But the vast majority of games last year we kicked more behinds that goals. 
    I just checked through all the results and the only other two games we kicked well in were against North and Adelaide. 
     

    As teams start to copy our style of play if they are kicking straighter than us in front of goal we may find ourselves falling behind a bit.

    With all the Buddy mania, Geelong's woeful performance will fly under the radar. 

    No media coverage of the actual game at all.

    Last year we kicked 323.308. Brown, Fritsch and TomMc are all reliable shots for goal.

    I can't see our back 6 letting too many teams kick scores like 17.5 or 16.6 too often.  Such goal kicking efficiency is against teams with poor all ground defence and deficient back 6 players/strategy which is not us.   We consistently kept teams to 60 -75 points last year.  Don't see a reason for that too change.

    It will be a while before other teams can copy our style of play with the same skill we do.  Geelong is a good example:  worked for them last week, failed last night when pressure was applied.  Our style withstands pressure and we apply lots of it especially i50.  Teams will perfect part of what we do but not sure many will develop all components of it in a hurry.  Sydney is looking the most likely.

    • 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.
