Lovely mark from Howes. Goal good. The float in mark better. 

 

Jeez what a clunk by Blake Howes! Reminded me of Jack Gunston the way he just floated across.

I feel for Oskar Baker. Has been so consistent at VFL and not once I don't think he was named VFL level. If a bloke deserved to be rewarded on form then it was Baker.

Pitty form at VFL level is irrelevant. 

Repeat efforts from JVR

Crazy to think he couldn't get a gig, too.....!

 

JVR sure loves the contest.


Got some good young kids coming through in the VFL. Shame none of them could get a go this year but the future looks bright.

@Lord Nev are you Tom's father? Genuine question!

 

JVR is everything we have wanted this year up forward. Contested marking, pressure, not giving up, ground level play. Glad he had a year to enjoy ragdolling VFL defenders. He won’t see them again.

Weideman is SO much better in the ruck 

Field kicking is elite. Low and hard.

JVR, AMW, Oskar, Chandler, Bowey all playing well

Some depth there to draw on next year

But Goody won’t make any changes 

Bowey has only had 3, but has been very important in the centre clearances getting up to the play. It’ll be good to have him back next year. 
too bad Howes only had a few games under his belt. There is a lot to like there.

I agree. We should acquire Meek in the Jackson deal, and have Meek play VFL and back up for Gawn. Also play Weideman in Jackson’s current role but more as ruck relief for Gawn but gives us that extra forward. Free up the Grundy coin for someone we actually need.

Also his hands in close for a big man are impressive. He’s a creative player. He’s just not made for that lead and contested mark role. 

McDonald and JVR both bossing a VFL kid for sure but that’s good alternating of useful talls in the ruck contests 

foot to the throat now boys

How was the around the neck not paid to Bedford when the Mathieson was. Pathetic 

Happy for the initial contact not paid, but the second guy who jumped on Toby’s head has to be paid 

lmfao how did we almost stuff that up?

  • 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.
