    Disagree. Let's just get 4 points and move on.

    Surely Lever will miss, he looked very sore. Apart from that, I think we pick almost the best team we can. Percentage will be important.

    Lever out 

    Tomlinson in

    Lever is buggered. He was on the bench popping pain killers like candy. Never a better time to rest him.

    If Lever can play, even if he's a bit sore, he should. We need him to get back in the groove and get some continuity, he's had a real in/out season so far.

    It was a corky that was the most concern today though right?

    I did notice that the boot was off the right foot at half time though... I'm assuming that was the one that he had the plantar fasciitis issue?

    I don't want to be cocky. Respect the opposition and all that. But let's be frank, we should take a mini-bye over the next two weeks. Lever looks like he can barely walk. Lingers copped an absolute beating. The Cats always managed their best players through a season. Plus, we could blood some new players and get them used to our system at top level. Be honest with them and let them know they're just getting a taste and to keep pushing. Clarry has played 120 consecutive games and Trac about 90. Max and Langdon have missed maybe one game in the last few seasons. Also, watching footy is getting pretty boring. Some new players would be fun. 

    Ins: Rosman, van Rooyen ,Laurie. 

    Outs: whoever could do with a rest. 

    Eagles and Norf over the next two weeks

    Potential to be danger games - beware their desperation

    Rest Lever, mindful of covid protocols

    8 points and move right on....

    Nah last contest of the game he was again heavily limping after jumping up to defend and landing on his feet. He is definitely suffering. 
    I sit right by the bench and he was in serious pain. He was limping so badly. I worry that if we keep pushing him he will break. 
    But I’m not a doctor and happy to be corrected.

    Also, does anyone know if it's Van Rooyen or van Rooyen? And what to use starting a sentence. I don't know the custom for Zimbabwe. @WalkingCivilWar?

    We rest players for a very easy interstate plane trip when they have a bleed the quad

    Lever and Jordan might need a rest, not sure what Jordon did but he was on one leg for most of the last quarter, he rolled in a contest and took a little to get back up.

    If anybody suggests dropping JJ I’ll box their ears.

    He might need it, he rolled in a contest at the start of the last quarter and was on one leg for the rest of the game. They did keep him out there though, so I'm not sure how bad of an injury it is?

    • 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.
