1.10 is worse then right on Mothers day Lunches

I could think of nothing better to do on mothers than go to the G and watch this one unfold.  

 

I'm not a mother though so what would I know

    We’ve beaten this mob once at the MCG since the 2006 elimination final.

    Saints on an 8 day break should have recovered from their Cairns trip.

    Really hoping we can bank this win as we have some tough fixtures between rounds 11 and 15. Would love to be 10-0 before we face Sydney and Freo at the G.

    We can afford to lose 4 games this year IMO in order to finish top 2. Would rather not use one up today.

    Would you happen to have the breakdown of many times we’ve played them at the G since then? We rolled them last year but that was at Marvel.

    Yeah, we don’t do Mother’s Day at mine. 
    Apparently we do game day…

    Now to work out whose work this is: the hipster uni student or the bedroom-dwelling, PS5-playing teenager. 🤔 

    LOL found these in the bottom of the wrapping. They know I lose/break earbuds on a weekly basis.

    Added a pic of what was almost thrown out with the wrapping paper. 😬

     

    This haven't been tested B/S. The doggies threw everything at us and come up short. As did the Suns Hawk and Tigers. Port is the only team that rolled over.

    Bit too much taking in the media puffing up the Saints. We win this by 27 points.

    They just want a bit of excitement. "Best team wins again" is dull compared to "so-called best team is vulnerable" or "pretenders toppled from top of ladder."

    Wayward Saints seeking salvation. Last seen sliding for a slither of soap in slippery northern slimes. 

    Scraping like seagulls in a slather for seemingly senseless seconds searching for a slim score.

    Media mogul machinations on Mother’s Day may mirror minor minds.

    Determined Demons dastardly dash delusions of disorientated  delinquent delight.

    Saints or sinners saved for slaughter by the last quarter.

    I don’t have the breakdown handy but I believe St Kilda have won 8 of our last 9 meetings at the G.

    Nervous as all hell.

    (I hated mothers day; something always came 'unstuck' and then it was on....)

    Hope Tom has a great 200th game. Not that you'd know with little fanfare about it.

    But hope we have a good win & we carry him off

    Mothers Day is just the creation of Hallmark and retailers. Surely every day should be considered Mothers Day.

    Expecting to win well.

    At some point we drop a few games during the season.

    Still when look at quality across ground 

    Backs - May Lever Petty Brayshaw Bowey

    Mids - Max Trac Clarry Langdon 

    Forwards - Fritsch Brown

    Running power - ANB Kossie Spargo Sparrow Hunt

    Add system and we look very hard to beat!

    Go Demons!

    • 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.
