I think we'll just have to accept the goal kicking boots just aren't on tonight, so we'll have to win this ugly. Well, uglier then it's already been anyway. 

Can't wait to never talk about this game after the win.

    Our goal kicking is beyond bad. This game should be done and dusted.

    Still kicked 5-7 but at least been have a lead. Hopefully we get a run on in the final quarter & kick more goals than behinds

    Hunt really dumb coming inside there.  Had plenty of time to stop prop and try & hit a target.  Instead the red veil continues.

    Tracc pretty much the same from 50 in the clear earlier

    We’ll if it wasn’t for those 19 points we’d only be up by 2.

    10-20 frees our way. So expect the mother of all even ups this last quarter.

    The stats are showing that we are making a total mockery of them. This should literally be a 50 point lead. Need to kick at least 3 in this last quarter, just need to do enough and we're off.

    Jeez Weideman would want to do something decent in the last.

    Surely he doesn't have many goat photos left?

    Fritta blasted trac for blazing away at the goals

    Too many selfish shots on goal

    Yep we are 10 goals up except we can’t kick for goal.

    Better in that quarter, but there is a reason to be concerned.

    I am concerned about some of the more selfish shots on goal. Instinctive football is one thing but this reminds me a bit of the Collingwood loss last year when everyone was trying to bring about 'the play' to spark the team. We were all so interested in being 'the hero' we ended up kicking ourselves out of the game.


    The thing about this game for my eyes, we have had total domination across the vast majority of the game except for a few very short periods of time. This is a 15 goal win that will likely only be a few goals due to poor kicking. Don’t let the score be misleading

    Richmond are nowhere near us in quality. Miles away. Yet they’re actually still in the game. If it weren’t so disturbing, it’d be funny. 

     

    Not sure you can blame Weid with the ball coming in. It's been atrocious. And he still has two and has competed strongly in the air. 

    Smith a liability defensively. No time for him whatsoever.

    • 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.
