Can we repeat this in the second half? Lions would still be confident seeing our last 3 games. Got to keep the midfield pressure on. I am backing Viney to lead the way.

    Still a half to go. Lions are a very good team, not going to roll over. But at least we've had a glimpse.

    Brisbane are likely working with similar loads in training. Should be interesting

    Great quarter. No let up, and we win. For any of you watching on Kayo at home, have you ever heard a stream of more ridiculous hyperbole than that unleashed by David King? He is a frank embarrassment to football commentary. Almost everything that leaves his mouth is plainly ridiculous. Rant over! Can’t wait for Tracc and Clarrie to really get rolling!

    Keep the pressure up and we’ll get the points. No fade outs tonight please!

    Bit like the  the final last year, we cut them open in the 2nd after a close 1st quarter. They came back in the 3rd and we ran away in the last.

    Close to best game I've seen Viney play. Incredible.

    Lever superb.

     

    Viney has carried this team on his back for a few weeks now I reckon.

    Must be such a good feeling to see the rest of the team lift and follow his leadership. 

    Please don't stop at one Dees like you've done many times this year. Another quarter like that and we will have smashed them.

    Is that the best quarter we’ve played all year? That’s the first time in ages I feel like I’m watching the team from late last year. Hope we can keep it going in the second half and kick-start the second half of the season. Our best is still the best in it.

    Only quarter that comes ose is the 3rd vs GWS otherwise that was easily our best quarter for the season.

    Keep it up Demons, don't let up, put your foot on their throat

    What did he say?

    The Lions are at our mercy. Need to take this opportunity to get more players back into form. Would love to see lingers rip it up in the second half.

    Best game of Lever for the season. Hopefully he can carry it all the way until the finals.

    Too much. One example - “that quarter was the biggest mauling I’ve seen for years”.

    Great quarter, worked our butts off and the tide turned. We started creating chances. Jackson lowering the eyes to hit up Brown was excellent and gave us the reward for effort we deserved. Much more zip and movement up forward, got the ball pinging around the way we like it.

    May is having a howler but it still helps immensely having him out there. Lever looking as sharp as ever. 

    Luke Jackson is standing up, sure he's getting beat in some ruck contests but it's not his job to win them all right now. I think his midfield work has been great. Big Sam is cracking in too, would love to see a big mark from him down the line.

    How about Harmes the goalsneak! Sometimes you gotta find them elsewhere.

    The work is not done, not even close. And if loading is a thing then ots gonna be a harder second half to watch. Grind this one out Demons.

    This is just regulation for Harmes. Most underrated player in the game, and lowered a prime Dangers colors as a tagger. Good to see him on Neale. Lyon getting bruised helps us. Bailey not playing now helps more. Zorko not playing screws their structure.

    Lever is BOG. Really impressive. Viney stepping up, best quarter from him I’ve seen. Jackson is our type of ruck. He plays our type of game style - grinds. He’s been great. Sticks tackles and does a lot off the ball. Harmes obviously huge. Ben Brown looking best I’ve seen him this year really great touch. Sparrow is a problem for Brissy. They had no answer for him early. They blanketed Oliver, and Petracca was trying, but Sparrow was being effective.

    Weideman has shown a bit in that first half so good on him. Looking at the stats doesn’t show much but he’s had a bit of presence at times.

    • 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.
