But but but we didn’t play 4 quarters of footy 🙄

Good hit out and nobody died.

Loved what McVee served up

    We saw a response. 

    Good sign, no doubt it would have been addressed during that third quarter. 

    No injuries positive. Mcvee looks great. Hunter going to change us. Grundy will work into it.

    Trac looks like he has a noticeable limp. @Demonland

    I have always thought so. I think it is just the way he walks.

    Solid game first up. 
    McVee impressive and Grundy will get better, that was his first competitive match for a while. Petty is still very good one on one back there.

    Enjoyed the commentator talking about the Saints needing to find a way past Tom Petty as the spare man down back.

    Hunter prolific

    McVee classy and clean

    Rivers busy - like the midfield move 

    Bowey excellent marking/bodywork for a player of his size

    Grundy a bit underwhelming

    Gawn floating back freeing up Lever is 2021 vibes. Don't have to have perfect forward connection when the other team can't score.

     

    Nice to see the short option at lockout too

    My boy Hunter played well. Loved his disposal.

    I liked Chandlers game as well

    good workout overall

    And I'm not holding out much hope of the Saints surprising Freo in Wk 1. Looks like a long season ahead for them.

    Huuter coped a hit to his leg, late in that last quarter. 

    Lever walked onto the ground at the end, minus a boot.

    I liked Rivers game, was even organising the backline structure, and often first to support/encourage his mates.

    Mcvee looks at home.

    Given the size of his upper body, not really surprising. Then again his quads will also be tough to lug around, just massive thighs of striated meat.

    i missed most of q2 cos of meetings, but based on what i did see of those four quarters:

    - lever won't play round 1; plugger back, Fritsch comes in
    - mcvee replaces salem as small defender
    - chandler required in 23 as pickett given more room to roam
    - grawndy still a work in progress
    - hunter will be a weapon as a second wingman
    - rivers ahead of sparrow and jj as next rotation mid

    Wasn't huge on Grundy today. Thought most of his taps went to the opposition and his disposal was simply meh.

    Still thrilled we got him, hopefully he works into some form before the start of the season.

    Phillipou said he was the best player in the draft and he might be right.  Brad Hill got plenty of it with some good run. Both good dreamteam options. Wilkie was decent. The only bright spots for the Saints, it's going to be a long season for them.

    We aren’t going to play 8 defenders unless one of them dominates this game so Riv will just be a rotation. Sparrow will continue playing good minutes, he was better than people think

    Think a 10 goal win is what most of us would have hoped/expected. 
     

    Trac break tackles with ease, Hunter showing what a draft steal that was, Rivers and Kozzy getting decent midfield time and McVee’s cool defending were some of the highlights for me.

    McVee was great looks to be another great Taylor pick up.

    bowey 1 on 1 was improved significantly 

    hunter a draft steal 

    Grundy and Gawn still combined for 3 goals let’s be honest if that’s a weekly occurrence then that will work brilliantly

    People splaying Lever won’t play rd1, due to a rolled ankle. Is that hyperbole and MFCSS?? 

    If it’s just a rolled ankle he’ll be fine, depends on if any ligament damage.

    • 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.
