Hopefully they don't think it will all just happen - it is going to take an big lift in defensive pressure to be any chance

    For starters wear the real and only  MFC jumper. The one in the above pic looks awful.

    Has Carlton ditched that all white outfit from last year. Havent seen it this season. They looked like they were running around in their undies.

    The short bit of footage the club released from training showed some reasonably high pressure match simulation. Part of me thinks this is the week we see a real step up…hope I am correct

    I think we are all sitting here hoping we see that switch flicked this week.

    If we do it will give me a lot more confidence heading into the end of the regular season and into finals.

    If we don't it's hard to see us getting our best back this season.

    Winning out is unlikely but hopefully we see more of what we know and love.

    I just don't want to see any 4 or 5 goal leads fluffed anymore.

    I reckon we're going to love the last month of footy. It's a real chance to play some really strong and desperate teams with finals and top 4 on the line. 

    It's going to be a perfect lead in to the finals and if we want to be a great team like the players talk about, it's time to lift the intensity and run out 4 quarters.

    I expect us to win at least 3 of our last 4 and hit finals with a bang.

    I love that most of the press are writing us off.

    You’d imagine all clubs do high-pressure match sims, right?

    I don’t imagine that they always do it on a 6 day break. To me it says that maybe we are stepping into a game honing phase and are no longer in a loading phase.

    I could be totally wrong though and don’t claim to be an expert on the matter

    I'd have been more confident with another couple of easy kills like Gold Coast and Adelaide to warm us up.

    I haven’t heard one good answer on the contested marking drop off. I’d love to hear an explanation for this.

    Could it be that all of May, Lever, Gawn and Jackson have been injured/ill at some point in that period? So we're either missing or below their best?

    I believe this is the thread appropos thread for that type of thing.

    Perhaps it could end up as a containment thread ala the NO T$ NO BS thread.

    • 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.
