    I know the free was soft, very soft, diabolical even. But I'm really annoyed that May allowed himself to get sucked into that BS by Franklin.. Completely changed the trajectory of this game.

    Viney doesn't look right. He's either rattled or injured.

    Petracca clearly not right.

    This.

    Same usual suspects in Sparrow and Nibbler who just fumble and cough up the footy so easily.

     

    If you’re going to make that comment don’t just select your whipping boys. Viney has been fumbly, Hunt has missed so many easy handball targets. Harmes handballs to Viney when we have a 2 v 1 but handballs to a position where Viney has to check back in and we lose the quick breakaway

    If our midfield doesn’t lift this game is gone. 
    I will never understand how Gawn Viney Clarry and Trac don’t rip games apart. That is an A++ combo.

    Yep we had the ball no need to do anything.

    We're a goal down and often we haven't run games out very well. Not confident


    Lost a bit of respect for Franklin tonight. Pathetic.

    I think we'll be alright. We will consolidate this quarter with a blistering block of footy.. We're the better team, we're at home, we just need to get rid of the fumbles, play smart and utilise our i50 efforts. 

    Hold them accountable. No more freebies!

     

    Does anyone think Gus is a fail so far in the middle?  Send him back to the wing and bring Harmes in for a stint or is Harmes doing too well there?

    Nup can't blame May for that act.


    Great goal first up. Let's do this! 

    When you are leading on scoreboard, you shall no do something like what May did, clearly our whole team affected by By that. one mistake after another, we just couldn't settle down. Hopefully, the halftime break can help the players clean their heads. In Rd23 of last year vs Geelong, we were poor in 2nd quarter but played much better 2nd half and won just. Come on Dees, you can do much better!

    • 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.
