We could be playing West Coast this week who have 17 out and our supporters would still be making a case for the Eagles to get up!

    37 point win, including resting some stars in the final 10 minutes.

    Relaxing evening to come 

    For so long as we are going into games with four first choice defenders out, including Lever and Salem, we are going to be at risk of conceding scores when we otherwise wouldn't.

    We did great against the Dogs last week but that was in prime conditions, not in slippery tropical conditions.

    And although we have come off one of the best seasons any side has had in the last 21 years, we dropped games to Adelaide and Collingwood and drew with Hawthorn, as roaring favourites each time.

    There's no objective reason to be concerned. We're the best team in the competition. But we won't get through this year without losing games.

    If it’s wet, that bodes well for us. We are a contested team, whilst the Suns like to run (not as easy to do on a heavy ground).

    Having Lever and Salem missing is a huge hole in our team. They are 2 of the best defenders in the league so any win without both of them is worth it. I hope Lever is ready next week. Also Petty is a valuable CHB and having him out is a blow.

    We should win and although the Suns might be plucky and playing at home, I’m feeling somewhat more confident knowing the team had a run on the ground last night, with rain - so basically the same conditions as tonight I imagine. Let’s hope we can crack in like last week and take the game away from them, and then keep going with it.

     

    I live between Brisbane and the Gold coast and sun is out but plenty of clouds around. Will be going down later and just hope the weather stays OK. Any storms later should be out west away from coast Looking forward to seeing them live again. Should win by at least 30 points.

    We are reigning premiers yet we get shunned to Foxtel. I know port are a top team to, maybe they wanted to put the Hawks on because of Mitchell. Anyway I'm happy to watch it and free

    Was unaware that this could be 10 wins in a row. As it should be against this Clayton's club.

    Yes  gone are the days Id lament the wet weather and how it worked against us.

    We thrived in all slippery conditions last year with ground ball gets and even contested marking.

    Bring it on,

    Your poor old Uncle Bitter had planned to give Metricon a boost by attending in person. Unfortunately ........you know.. circumstances changed..... and spectating shall take place in the The Manor's modest theatrette. Hopefully in the company of an immodest maid.

    While the Suns have some very handy up and comers , and may even, finally, become competitive they will be no match for the Dees.

    A comfortable 39 point victory beckons.

    Agree Uncle.

    Ill be taking the 1-39 pts on offer, as it seems early in the season the Dees just get out there and get the job done. We will leave the thrashings for the Cold Pies later in the season when we have a fit and firing full implement of troops. It will be wet as well i would imagine.

    47 point win with everyone talking about how we would have won by 80 if not for the repeated 50's gifted to GCS by the maggots.

    Sunny here at the moment. Hopefully the rain holds off.

    Rain bands to both the West & Sth at the moment, but neither seems to be moving at the moment.  Might get lucky!

    • 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.
