Great response Dees. Is Brown ok?

Tactical sub, should be alright 

Thanks god for the umpire there, Grundy was standing the mark almost two metres back and the umpire showed him he could come up closer which ultimately is why the Sydney players’ last kick fell short.

    Yeah I think it was just to go with a smaller forward line.

    They need to get the ball to ground in the forward line and not let the Mcartins mark

    I have covid and watching from home unfortunately..... so have to listen to BT and also scare everyone in my house

    Go boys, we have repsonded against a really good side.

     

    How much better is Grundy rucking today, difference mindset knowing you're going in as the no 1. ruck for the game. 

    Yep and I reckon Maxy has probably helped him out a bit this week & probably gave him the belief.

    My husband watching at home said it’s apparently a tactical sub? He seems ok. I assume his knee is a bit sore.

    He has a back injury. Apparently couldn't even bend down to touch his toes

    Unbelievable play by Clarry in that quarter with that handball smother. Best player we have ever had.

    Grundy really lifted that quarter.

    Great finishing by Fritta.

    Langdon really needs to goal from 20 out.

    Loving McVee. Looks a natural.

    This one is far from over, Swans are getting their looks wheb they transition from the back. Need to keep our composure and hit the targets when it counts.

    Grundy has been very impressive. Working his [censored] off.

    The game was over the moment we got out to a 30 point lead.

    Happens all the time.

    8.3 to 8.6 since quarter time - sounds disastrous!

    Did someone say drop from the Fritta? 

    Yeah he was a bit weak earlier, but how classy is he. 

    Look, I’m not saying that it was me… but yeah I made a bad call. 😂

    Or maybe I inspired him… 🤔 

    But seriously, his chasing or following opponent up the ground to keep pressure was poor when I wrote that. 

    what a great Quarter! such intensity

    4.1 up. what could go wrong from here?

    Bbb ...I'm not sure if he's injured.

     

    Was getting beaten pretty soundly in most 1 v 1s but could be an niggle or injury.  Anyone hear anything?

    Certainly lifted since half time

    • 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.
