    All I want is an eight goal first quarter from us. Is that too much to ask?

    Getting fed up with this group not wanting to give 100% effort and trying to rely on talent. Lazy.

    Reckon our coaching group needs a good old clean out at years end. Doing the same things over and over expecting different results

     

    There smalls are getting it and kicking goals easily in their forward line.

    Our main small forward flies for mark of the year.

    On a lighter side a bloke just won 10k kicking the footy into the Haymes paint barrel

    Resting with the backline.

     

    Look at this post. 

    Slitting wrists.

    Our structure is way better. They are playing like rabid dogs

    Jvrs a kid and Petty isn't strong enough to play forward. 

    The club has risked too much on tmac and bbb.

    We dropped tmac who was going fine it’s our own fault 


    This group is all Hollywood

    This is a repeat of last week.

    I think we should put Max at ff.

    Nobody else looks like marking it.

    Well the good news is we know by April that this list is as currently constituted is done.

    New forward and backline assistant coaches and a big influx of running players needed.

    Going to be a slog watched 17 more weeks but better to know now than pretend

    Why the [censored] are we giving Cumberland a field day? He's not that good.

    I think he's a pretty good explosive player

    Confident we respond this quarter. 

    We have far too many good players to not respond.

    C'mon Dees.

    Some big reputations on the line if this showing doesn't improve. Defence shaky again, Kozzy lost in an outrun midfield, and delivery inside 50 hopeless. And Harmes and Dunstan apart, the second-stringers showed nothing for Casey yesterday either. Big test ahead to see how smart Goody really is.

    Not enough effort & run in that quarter.

    Tigers are mopping up ground balls allover while we comtinue to flounder and fumble.

    Look laconic and a bit too slow accross the park ...even in the middle there's just no chemistry in that quarter

    We've been found out, another loss coming

     

    Sick of seeing two of us going for the mark. Talk.

    If that maggot is so adamant on the rules he would’ve called play on on grimes for going over the mark

    • 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.
