Did I miss some very obtuse attempt at irony, or are you really an absolute <person who tosses things>?

    To be honest all of our disposal, decision making, and forward craft skills have been atrocious tonight'

    Dogggas definitely still injured

    Hasnt leapt at it all night


    I absolutely loathe this ground. It’s the worst football ground in the AFL. I’d love to know how many throw ins there are per game.

    Bear in mind this is approximately the time last year where we had a flat couple of weeks (vs Hawks and the loss to the dogs) that is widely reputed to have been due to our training loads. The flatness we are showing here is almost certainly for the same reasons. 

    That’s what it looks like. Slow off the mark tonight

    Geelong just seemed to be working harder than us. Better running contest to contest and have more numbers at the drop of the ball. Also helps they're winning clearances. Are we loading again?

    We could pinch it but have to up our game around the contest. Been very sloppy all game, our touch seems a little off.

    Gawn battling on but looks very under done.  Not sure why we dont just rest him at CHF from here and push all in on Dogga on the ball!!

    Happy if we just take it on and play fast and loose by 5 than play conservative and lose by 2-3. We really shouldn't be this close

    Cmon we’re better than than that. 


    It all comes down to the midfield. If Trac, Oliver, Viney and Gawn can’t run over the top here, the game is done.

    This can either go two ways. We lie over and this game is 6+ loss. Or we give it a crack and take on the game and we can steal it. 
     

    First 2 mins will tell all. If the Cats kick the first , game over.

    Smalls need to lift. Kozzie and Spargo fire up please. We don’t deserve it but we could pinch this.

    • 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.
