Drawing a blank, being a Monday game do they announce the extended squads tonight or tomorrow?

They'll name extended squards tonight with full team to be announced Saturday afternoon

    Thinking Turner will be named on the extended bench.

    Any chance we can do a Geelong this week and beat a mid range team with multiple best 22 players out in addition to losing a gun defender mid game, without its defensive structure falling to pieces, and produce a character building win?

    Yes they'll want to give Petty maximum time to recover

    Bloody oath. 

    We should be winning this game based on desire, talent, system and purely that we are further advanced than them

    Great sides who have won premierships over the years have always been able to win games with key players out. The last two weeks have been understandable because of who we've played. 

    But seriously, if we don't win on Monday I will be genuinely disappointed and slightly concerned about our second half to the year. 

    We also owe these flogs who caused a huge upset against us last year. And they were missing a handful of their top 10 players and still beat us. 

    It sometimes comes down to big club vs small club mentality. 

    We better respond. Especially after the week in the media we've had. I expect a galvanised group who are committed to the cause for four quarters. And I expect to win.

    I think he has a future but no way he is ready for QB 

    From my observation he has been useful in 3-4 games and good in one but that was North who are very poor. I seriously doubt he will be promoted any time soon.

    Its mind games. he will play. 

    Not really any point, they will name him anyway and if he plays we'll have prepared for him.

    I'm picturing Viney sitting in a cage, gnawing his teeth right now

    I pity the Collingwood players that come anywhere near him on QB

    UNLEASH JACK!

    Jack's impact has improved, too. If ever there was a Demon capable and willing to create havoc with the Filth, it would be Jack. I wonder who his key targets will be?

    with a 8 day break I think Petty will play but definately need Hibberd as Petty is liable to go off for long periods.  That's what happened in the 2nd quarter when we were a tall/bulky player short.

    now that it looks like Miocheck is out and Elliott is in.  Hibbo is a must.

    Elliot is too strong and too good one on one for hunt i reckon.

    Hibbo would be the match up for Elliot - can match him for strength and is excellent one on one.

    I'd go Hiiberd in, and plays on Elliot. And Hunt goes to Ginnivan.

    Mihocek is a very good player and underestimated by many.  He's no Kingsley.

    Mihocek = McDonald 

    Vastly underrated player

    Those who rate Mihocek and those who don't can all agree with this comparison. Those who rate him can assume he's like Tom and those that don't can think he's like Oscar.

    Personally, I think he's a very good player and would be even better if he had some good tall forwards around him.

    Hunt shouldn't play give the job to Rivers or Salem.

    • 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.
