    Great win.  Players fading in the last.  2 weakened by covid. 3- 4 hadn't played AFL tempo for a while.

    Bank the 4 points and move on.

    bank it and move on

    Very few highlights save that Bedford is ready.

    Not sure what if anything it did to solve the Weid v T Mac debate

    Need to play a lot better next week

    Full credit to Hawthorn.

    But Max and Tracca stood up big time.

    so to Oliver.

    The reliable trio.

    Nice cameo from Bedford

    The absolute putrid biased commentators were over the top.

     

    How about talking up the team with 5 out

    Very happy for Bedford. A game which could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

    We were cooked in the last. Our forward entries were as bad as possible

    Top 8 taking shape.  Cream rising to the top.

    No matter what happens this round we will be 2 games clear of 5th team (and maybe 4th).

    Strong position.

    When you win under those conditions it proves you are a very good team. Go Dees!

    The Hawks are always a nuisance against us, I'm just glad we take the points and there were some good positives today (not the covid ones), like Bedford. 

    Another game where we should take the 4 points and move on, hopefully with more of our list available.

    A little wobbly at times, but we'll get there - definitely by the time we win the flag again this year.

    A wakeup call without losing is a good result, hawthorn showed everyone the blueprint on how to beat us, take it quick through the corridor and keep lever accountable. 

    Need to tidy up our forward fifty entries as well, we kept sitting it on top of a contest and expected someone to clunk it which didnt look nearly as good hitting up a lead. 

    I think this game also shows how important Goody is, feel like his influence on the boundary line is a lot more important than we know

    Watching 2 teams having a red hot go, both butchering the ball at every opportunity, both equally clumsy, sloppy and error-riddled, for the Dees to do things 5% cleaner and get the win. So glad we bat deep int our list because that was very close to a loss tonight.

    A lot of rusty players, and by the end of the game, tired. 

    But we won, are still on top, and so far can take on every challenge.

    • 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?

      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.
