Gawn - very good 

Next 18 -just average 

Spargo Dunstan Weideman poor 

Oliver also very good and May. 
Let’s not forget Gawn has no opponent.

    Weid could have had the easiest goal then

    He called for the ball long rather than lead up and still fluffed the opportunity.... still  not sure about the Weid.  He often goes for the contested mark from behind but doesnt have the height or leap.

    A 3 tall forward line when Maxy goes down there is ok but looks a little unbalanced.  We need a medium tall maybe Tracc/Melk to spend a bit more time in the danger zones IMO.

    The talls are mostly waiting back then heading to the same contest once the kick comes inside.  Looks a little lazy for mine.  Bb is getting slightly blocked from leading by Frost but to be fair he's leaving his leads far too late and not working Frosty back hard enough (at all so far!??) for the double lead.  Very predictable & too easy for Frosty to run with.

    At the game, and the Hawks are hitting every contest and stoppage with enormous belief. We’re ahead only because we’re taking better advantage of their inevitable mistakes, given their run, gun, switch and spread. Waaay too little pressure from us on their uncontested possessions, like we’re assuming it’ll be fixed inside defensive 50. Hope the Hawks run out of puff like last week,  cos they’re in it up to their necks, and we’re just coasting.

    Lever looking just a bit off with his decision making. Hope he finds his groove in the second half.

    We continue to absorb the very best other teams have, and yet remain in front. The Hawks are playing really well, are well coached, and are giving us trouble both in the air and on the ground. Some of handballing in the backline by our boys has been sloppy, wrong option, and directed at a stationary team mate. Even Bowey has made some kicking errors, missing targets by a long way.

    Clean up silly little errors and we win well.

    As a footballer weid is “above average” in absolutely nothing. To say he is vanilla is an insult to the spice itself. There is nothing “spicy” about Sam Weideman. Every singly movement the guy makes is unconvincing. He’ll kick 3 or 4 on any given occasion yet every mark is kinda fumbly. Every set shot hooks hard. Offers absolutely nothing defensively. Pack his bags, spare us the cap space, my god I’m so done with this half assed footballer.

    I just had the abject misfortune of having to use the public toilets at St Albans train station. Despite the ‘vacant’ setting, when I kicked the door open (coz not touching a single surface), I see a guy injecting heroin into his big toe. I says, “sorry bro, didn’t know there was anyone in here.” He says, “all good” then looks up and says, “Go Dees!” 😆

    good grief

    After that hissy rant, I reckon most of us here are done with you.

    Perhaps Viney up forward to crumb.

    I get a thrill every time Frost has ball in hand haha

    Is the fact he chose to leave us and no one has booed him show we don't care he left because we got may/ lever so we are better off without him or he amused us when he gets the ball because who knows what will happen

    Will be impressive if we win this after 5 changes. Lever looks underdone 

    He actually looks a little out of shape to me.

    LOL I’m a walking ad for Demonland! Rocking a DL T-shirt, one with the big DL logo and no less than five ppl have approached me asking what DL is. The last person was a bit obnoxious so I’m apologising in advance if he joins DL. 😆

    Tmac padding stats there. Should have let it through 

    playing for his spot.

    Hawks are off a 5 day break and have gone hard in the first half. They’ll run out of gas. Just need to up it a gear and we win for sure

    i bet hell make a shocking error soon.


    BB/Maxy to share CHF role pls.  Teams dont use this aspect enough when they have the opportunity with big marking fellas like this.  Sets the cat amongst the pigeons and opens up the game behind for others to lead in to/crumb as well

    Don't know why,  we're a top team now, we don't need heroin to get through games anymore!

     

    We win this if we play to the strengths we have shown so far in this game.

    Our mids are physically stronger than ours. Make sure we burrow into packs, get into one on ones and hit targets after contest wins. Plus cut out silly mistakes in the back half. Some strange decisions have been made back there.

    push our talls up and leave Fritta up fwd with Bedford.

    • 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.
