If Port and GWS are serious their coaches should be sacked by tomorrow evening.  
Hinkley is in his tenth season as coach and Cameron in his ninth. Their teams respective efforts over the weekend when taking into consideration their exit from last years season as well as their opponents speaks volumes.

    For Port, are they now broken mentally after all the prelim loses and the smashing last year.

    one of the worst umpiring decisions you'll ever see. Never in a million years was that a dump tackle. hopefully won;t impact the result

    I said it last year watching the Game, Port absolutely [censored] the bed in that home Preliminary. Last night just makes it worse. 
    no one will fear them in Adelaide this year

    Well the Perth teams being putrid is certainly a good thing for our chances to keep Jackson long term. 
    Wanna go sit at the bottom half of the ladder for the next 5 years or want to win flags?

    A very talented list with really no guts. Very soft under any sort of pressure. 

    This could equally be referring to Port / Hinkley, or GW$ / Cameron.

    Good point, based on this match Jacko wouldn’t be playing finals for a while if he turned purple

    Same old story with Port. When the whips are cracking, too much is left to too few. Boak, Wines & Robbie Gray. And Gray's body is failing him. The likes of Rozee, Duursma & Butters are often lauded but until they become genuine contested midfielders, they'll remain icing on a crumbly cake.

    My footy tips also hate Freo

    April is going to be a very interesting month of Football.  A few side with Top 4 aspirations and a couple more to make the 8 could find their season over if they can't find some wins.  Bulldogs, Port, Essendon, GWS would not have expected to be winless after 2 rounds.

    I think they were broken before that, last season before they beat the Bulldogs in rd 23 they hadn’t beaten a top 8 side. I’m of the belief that both coaches have lost their players. I don’t want to sound arrogant but the only team that stands between us going back to back is the Swans.

    • 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.
