Not including hyphenated surnames, the only past or current player with more syllables in his surname that I can think of is Robert DiPierDomenico.

That-dirty-rotten-little-stager-Weightman has ELEVEN.

 

Bulldogs have no ticker, so if the Roos can keep the heat on and prevent the Dogs from having it all on their terms, they could well have a shot - probably too far back though after that joke of a 1st quarter.

 

Kangas with 4 in a row. Doggies players looking confused and frustrated with the free kick count going against them. Unusual territory for them.

Edit - 5 in a row

Edited by Nascent

It's like the umpires feel they have to pay a free in every marking contest.

Go Kangas!

 

Doggies have no soul, front runners all day 

Kangas showing real grit 

North showing up one of the Dogs weaknesses - defensive running. As soon as the Roos get gut run running forward from contested ball, 2-3- Dogs players plod on behind with little real effort. The dogs talent is way over and above the Roos, but the effort of the young Roos boys is great to watch. It is going to take some time but I love what Noble is doing - taking the hard hits and losses but basing a team on defensive contested play. 


AFL have offered the Royal Children Hospital $100 for every Free paid today. Umps doing their bit.

I reckon no matter how far the dogs get in front, no team will think they're out of it as long as they can arrest momentum and make the dogs run the other way.

Horne - Francis looks very good. I know people will slag them off, but North is tracking in the right direction imo

"honourable loss' coming up

Actually .... I withdraw prediction about "honourable loss". Looks like carnage.

North Melbourne's sub looks 12 years old. He's still taller than Caleb Daniel though. 

This Good Friday ‘blockbuster’ is taking the theme of penance too literally. I don’t know what we all did wrong, but it was obviously really, really bad.

Id rather watch Hawkins remove his mouthguard after being awarded a free kick in front of goal.

Well nearly


You guys are watching this rubbish?? 

i spent the arvo weeding and I reckon it would have been more enjoyable

They've conjured up a game that's less interesting than the Good Friday appeal.

But …. it is “traditional” …. after what, 4 years 🤦‍♂️

It's a strange recipe of pity mixed with ambivalence, with a sprinkle of "why don't they just give up and fold"?

Maybe they will head off to Tassie and save us all the absurdity and inequity  of a bye every week.

Unwatchable.

I think I might watch an old Carry On movie ... Either that or watch paint dry.

It's on such days that it is best to relive the glory of the GF replay ... from the 13 minute mark of the third quarter of course preferably with Dennis Commetti's commentary

  • 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.
