    I never used to hate the Dogs but gees I’ve grown to really dislike them. Bont the one shinning light. 

    Very much the same here, always had a soft spot for them, but am just completely over their relentless pursuit of free kicks!

    Regardless of the outcome of the match tonight, I'm still not overly convinced of the credentials of either of these sides. 

    The (likely) result has cemented that the Dogs are the biggest down hill skiers in the league. Most of their players are frontrunners and frankly they're a bunch of prima donnas. 

    Sydney have a lot of talent but are young. I suspect their season will be up and down and whilst they'll make the 8, they have a while to go before they seriously challenge.

    Don’t get why people hate the kid. His hair? 

    he goes hard and is a great mark and kick. Tries to get in defenders faces which is his job 

    Would love to have him at the demons

    He has a lot of talent - but absolutely bends the rules. Flops on the ground, in the air and generally dives the moment he feels contact. 

    Worse, he then celebrates his ill gotten gains (goals) harder than most celebrate a running team lifter. Over the top and ridiculous. Does it for non goals too - a teammate makes a run of the mill tackle and watch him bounce around with fake bravado and joy. 

    if he concentrated half as hard on his game and role as he does on geeing himself and others up he'd be an even better player. 

    Case in point - in all his crazy enthusiasm he tried to mark that ball on the goal line in the 1st QTR of the GF. Was going through for a goal - a crucial, grand final first quarter goal. He was so excited he genuinely stopped the goal and damn near knocked himself out in the process

    Why players take a bounce two steps after receiving the ball is beyond me.

    Coz its ingrained from under 10 footy

    Bont is a star. The Dogs are unimpressive though. 
    Marvel is their comfort zone. Shame you don’t play there when it counts.

    Swans absolutely s**t the bed. I'd be filthy if I was a supporter and had to endure that ball use, it was beyond embarrassing. Given the seniority of some of their players, I would expect a lot more against a maligned side like the Dogs had tonight. 

    The Dogs were lucky to win, but no doubt they'll get their tails up with some manufactured and over-engineered "us against the world, the AFL hates us, blah blah blah" rhetoric.

    So the swans are pretty average. Smashed in contested possession and tackles, inside 50’s etc.

    AFL hates us except we always get the softest frees paid in our favour. 
    Absolute sham the way their games are umpired.

     No they weren't. They were unlucky not to win by 40+ points. And I don't like them

    • 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.
