Out of the 3 tall forwards for both sides, he was the only one to kick a goal. Iā€™m not saying he played a good game obviously, but I donā€™t think BB would have done much in those conditions.

I actually thought Sparrow was avg at best. Maybe I hold him in high regards that what he produced Ā tonight (and last few weeks tbh) have been under what I expect from him.

Lots of room for Weids to improve obviously but his key role would for him not to be out marked and he ticked that box. Ā Similar story to ANBā€™s role which was to reduce the impact of Jordan Clark which he also achieved. Ā

Sparrow was good I thought.Ā 
Harmes will struggle to come back in I think.Ā 


Entire team = great team effort

Won the West...... tonight.Ā  In the context of top 4, this was huge.

3 word analysis?

Never, ever, forget.Ā  Tonight was huge.Ā  On their deck, in the West, against a top 4 contender.

We are just warming up.

The Weed played his role!

So we had all the above see time in the backline (Langdon quite often drifts back as a link player around half back - to good effect)

Brayshaw also helped out down back when needed.Ā  In soccer terms he'd be described as a defensive midfielder tonight but he did gain a lot of metres for the team (with well placed kicks)Ā 

Hunt got amongst it even though his disposal was a bit iffy ... did enough to stay in the side (Harmes will come back though)

Still reckon Hunt is at his best when he gets the chance to work in conjunction with Langdon - happened a few times tonight.Ā  That duel pace attack would worry the opposition

Freo scored 5.9 so the backmen should be given a lot of credit (which is what you've done) Ā 

My 3 word analysis

I think if you watch the replay you'll see he often plays a link role - sometimes just a touch or tap on that doesn't count as a stat. Must cover a few km also.

I thought he took a step tonight and was very physicalĀ 

Sparrow - put body in

Sparrow, built a strong nest and stays

As I said, I really like Sparrow so Iā€™m prob unfairly expecting more off him.

Almost perfect Joeboy. I love reading your work. First thread I go to after a game.Ā 

Ā 

Such a bad take once again. Try watching the game.Ā

Ham, itā€™s an opinion. Itā€™s a great talking point and starts good discussion. If you donā€™t like it put your opinion here. If itā€™s abusive most will dismiss it. If itā€™s intelligent most will respect it.Ā

  • 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 sideā€”the Tigersā€”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?Ā I mean by ā€œtheyā€ 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.Itā€™s no secret that the Demonsā€™ 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.Ā 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 Bryanā€™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 winningĀ 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.
