Simply awesome.

Think Swans have to win by about 45 points to knock us off 2nd.

    Bradshaw yakking about the treatment of Zorko by Melbourne but not wanting to go near Zorko’s two headlocks and some clearly not right sledging. Total misread by him.

    I think about 10 goals

    Great win, but FFS Jaded and the others having a whinge about Brodsky getting the last two goals have a good look at yourselves absolutely pathetic 

    I doubt very much as a club we would be happy with conceding some soft goals in the last. 
    I would hate to play Sydney at the SCG and so would the club.

    We just love playing Brisbane, don't we.

    Before tonight they'd lost three H&A games at the Gabba in three years. Season on the line, many had written us off (they went in favourites with the bookies), and we held the highest scoring side in the comp to 17 scoring shots, four of which came in the last five minutes.

    After the Dogs loss we had Fremantle (away), Collingwood, Carlton and Brisbane (away), and went 3-1 to secure top 4 (with the only loss being a tight game where our opponent kicked super accurately).

    Finals start in a fortnight, but unlike most of our competitors, we've been quietly playing our own finals series for the last month.

    We're ready to go.

    So that's essentially confirmation from Richo that Zorko has said something about Petty's family that was enough to bring him to tears.

    What a disgusting human, let alone a captain of an AFL team.

    Sydney will need an 8 -10 goal win, depending on scores Saints kick

    Who is mathematically able to work out how much Swans need to win by to overtake us?

    Around 3.4%

    It was something Zorko said. 

    Maysie was giving him a verbal as he was coming off. I also saw him mouthing ‘That’s bull poo’ to Choppers (although it was the more explicit version). Some home truths must have been said to get that reaction.

    If it is Zorko, he needs to pull his bloody head in. This isn’t the first time he’s been in trouble for exceeding the bounds of good sportsmanship.

    Are you serious?

    (PS not sure about the premise of your argument anyway. We're 7-0 on the road, whilst 5 of our 6 losses this year have been at the G, including to Sydney).

    If the Saints can keep things to a respectable 7 goalish loss, then we’re back at the G for finals!!!

    Come on Saints you bunch of no hopers!

    • 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.

      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.
