Pickett gets a week I feel. Tribunal haven’t cared about tummy taps, till it’s a Dees player.

    Pretty easy selection I'd say. The only problem might be Pickett

    Do we know if Jackson will be available next week? 
    Pickett could get a week.

    If Pickett gets a week for that it will be an extension of the pathetic umpiring display. Maybe a fine at worst.

    Out: M. Brown, Weed

    Weed battled hard today, but I would need to see him take some more one grab marks before he wins me back. BBB wasn’t great in that regard either but he stays in for mine for his ability to cause spillage.

    Can we talk about Ben Brown? I honestly thought he would kick 60 this year. Best team in the comp, playing against a poor team and he can’t dominate?

    doesn’t do much else as far as assists or general play. No one to come in but my word he needs to fire up. How did he regularly kick 60 for north? He looks like a ruck trying to play fwd at gre moment. Can’t even kick straight anymore

    Not sure how or why you'd think he would kick 60 this year, he's no where near a 60-a-year goal kicker in years and MFC under Goodwin has NOT played a game style that suits his style of forward craft.

    Goodwin said Gawn is a definite. Did a full match load of training today. The guy is a freak.

    If BB gets dropped he can have no complaints. Unless he's hit up on the lead he has zero impact. He's a more reliable kick for goal than the Weid and M Brown which is probably the reason he'll stay in

    I guess coz he has done it 3 times in a poor team and now inside 50s are double and although styles are different, not an unreasonable expectation

    • 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.
