Much as it pains me to say it, I think the Cats will win it this year.

    12 hours ago, leave it to deever said:

    I thought he turned it all around against cars h and a game and prelim and seemed to love kicking them...almost skipping after giving high 5s.

    Gone back to his old poor  self of set shots. 

    If he is accurate it makes a huge difference

     

    I wouldn't want him kicking after the siren for a win.

     

    Other than that I feel bad for the criticism of the big guy who bleeds red and blue.

    Not sure if you were on the turps when you wrote this Deever, but I think big Maxy did just fine kicking for goal after the siren Rd 23 last year and setup our magnificent premiership drought breaker.

    I don't want to critise him either.  He's MFC royalty as far as I'm concerned, but I'd really love it if he can find his goal kicking radar again and help us smash the Cats in a prelim on the way to a flag at the spiritual home of the MFC at the MCG!

    I absolutely despise Collingwood, particularly after beating us twice, however is it actually better for us if they beat Sydney today?

    If we beat Brisbane and Collingwood win twice then I think we’d play the Pies (2nd v 3rd) at the G in week 1. I’d like to think the boys have learnt a few lesson from our two encounters against them.

    Conversely, if Sydney beat Collingwood and St Kilda  they probably get us on percentage which would mean a trip to Sydney week 1 assuming we beat Lions.

    Really torn on what’s the better outcome for today.

    (Ofcourse all of the above will mean nothing if we lose next week)

    One thing I know for sure BBP, I'm not wasting one ounce of stress on this game. Swans win means Pies lose, Pies win then we may get the scenario you mentioned.

    If I may for a moment on St Kilda, I think it's time they do a partial re-build. They're in the dead zone which is frankly the stink zone. So much money tied up in average players and no proper direction. Their football looked great early in the season when they took the game on and used pace, they now look one paced and boring. Have someone sit on Jack Sinclair and there goes the rebound 50 attacks. Extremely disappointing.

    Seeing Ben Cunnington and Sam Docherty do what they did today makes you feel things are pretty good in the world.

    Are we better off if Collingwood beat Sydney? 1 and 2 almost locked and both Melbourne teams

    Or do we prefer Sydney win a close game?

    Can't see either losing Rd23, reckon Carlton will be spent and StKilda won't help us

    Almost irrelevant if we lose, unless Freo and Sydney lose last Rd

    If we win, it's difference between Coll or Syd at the G in FW1

    How good would a draw be? Just getting it in now on the 1 in a million chance I can look like a genius later.

    Good to see Essendon get the 4:40 slot. I don't think I've heard anyone mention them at all this week.

    Hope port thrash them

    Wouldn’t mind getting the Pies at the G if they’re still unbeaten

    Can't see a result that favours us greatly but for the purpose of keeping top 2 possible....Go Swans

    Eagles fading in last night's game against Freo did us no favours

    • 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.
