Flip side of that is it gives them a bit of confidence before our game.
Also no way we take them lightly now considering Richmond gave us a good game last week. 

This — actually a bit concerned about this one

    Era over for Richmond. They need to go to the draft and trade table and begin again. Very successful era, though.

    I am one of the few people who actually like Gold Coast. I picked them to finish 8th (not looking good at this stage!)Ballard is becoming a player. 

    Maynard is a [censored]. Comes hurtling in to do what? Reminds me of Tommy Bugg - all front no brains.

    Crows kicking 3-10 is a poor return, and the Pies will not stop coming.

    Maynard such a faux tough guy. Looks like a crack dealer.  

    Dealer? That’s being generous. Looks more like the addict with a rotted brain needing us fix.

    100% fake tough guy. Nothing surer than Maynard coming in and attacking an unsuspecting opponent.

    I am going to watch the rest of crows and filth, enjoy a beer and have a great big LMFAO at richmond. We will now probably hear a big whinge from Hardwick about Marvel.

    Dwayne Russell said this week he won’t rule out Richmond until they need to win 10 of the remaining 9 games to make the finals.  He can be quite nauseating at times.

    I'm sorry what was that about Essendon's new look defence?

    Zerk-Thatcher on Hawkins was a disaster.

    Agree they are done for a few years (nothing wrong with that, they won 3 flags and arguably their best year they didn’t win it).

    Before we make our own descent, I’d like to jag one more at the G 🙏

    For a few years before Tassie come in and get every draft concession under the sun.

    They are done for a decade.

    That miss was a direct result of not looking to where you are supposed to kick.

    Collingwood’s belief in desperation blended with outright attacking speed is phenomenal. It’s just frightening for opposing teams when they bring it, and the belief gets stronger. I hate to say it, really HATE it, but they are irresistible at their best.

    Was it a bit over the top today that geelong and Essendon ran through a joint banner for country game?

    Seriously? Absolutely over the top. May as well have called it the bogan banner

    Crows goal kicking is dreadful. They've kept the pies in this because of it. they'll be sorry when the pies run over the top of them in the last.

    I think I've realised that my loathing of Collingwood is almost as high as my love for the Dees. I was feeling sick with anxiety watching the game because I want them to lose so bad. I turned it off because I don't need that on a Sunday night :D

    Crows should be at least 10.9.

    They just traded the farm for Taranto and Hopper thinking they were still in premiership contention. They traded two first rounders, a second rounder and a future first! By my calculations they’re currently set to hand GWS pick 3 and won’t have a first round pick themselves until 2025 draft!

    Era is over and they’re going to languish down the bottom longer than usual because they got no draft capital now and the new Tassie team will get concessions in a few years when they finally get picks again. It’s going to be an ugly time for Richmond. They did get to enjoy three flags though so big success.

    Almost every player disputing decisions with the ump with hands up

    no dissent

    can we try to decide what’s allowed?

    Yet they can be outplayed for significant periods of matches by average to good sides. It’s odd. Crows kick straight and the Pies would be almost out of the match.

    • 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.
