May is an [censored]. All he had to do is kick it to Langdon by himself. May is [censored] this season. Should not be taking the kick ins.

Lol spare. He kicked 55 goals last year in a forwardline that functioned poorly. 

 

I’d be surprised if we won this, too many players down.

 

3 goals from free kicks to them that quarter. I’m don’t care how poor the umpiring is, just don’t give them the chance to blow their whistle (then after the game you can tell them to shove it where the sun don’t shine)

May kicking left when Langdon was free on the right… turn

People who think they’re above others refuse to consider the fact that they effect games. Umpires clearly effect games and momentum and the last two quarters have been shocking.

The amount of mistakes is minimal compared to players, there are other concerns than them.

Is now becoming a clanger king.

OMG 😳 

Perfect tackles by Kozzie, Fritter and others go unrewarded despite GCS player having ample opportunity 

Amazing that an extra field umpire doesn't improve the standard at all

 

We're in a proper battle here. Effort is there but we've no polish and our forward structure is not functioning. I wouldn't be surprised if King wins it for them.


Gold coast have all the momentum. Besides the first 10 minutes, we have been extremely poor. The tackling pressure finally lifted in the last 5 mins of that quarter, but I can't see any way we win this game by losing 75% of the clearances.

 

I just dont understand May's stupid determination to kick it left side every time, 15 seconds to go someone open short and he kicks to a damn contest. really dumb football, hunter trying to run around players dumb football. Outscored that quarter a win for the gold coast. We have such a talented side that just goes missing at times. for a team that has perhaps the best ruck combination where are we benefiting from this at the throw ins and centre bounces.

Can anyone explain how we win a premiership with May, Petty and Lever as the key backs, yet now we need to solidify the backline, we don't move Petty back..

I know scores are level but I just can’t see us winning. We’re not changing anything and all our goals have been grinds. They find smooth passage every time with quick replies. 

Our midfield has been poor, backline a complete mess and forward entries a joke. 

I hope I’m wrong but this looks like it’s inching towards a win for GC

 UNLESS WE PULL OUR FINGERS OUT

Can't even win it out of the middle. Our forward line is non existent and our backline is a mess

I really hope tge club can recruit an experienced big chf. It's not bbb or tmac. We have been caught out with those two not playing this year. Petty not the answer and Jvrs played 5. It's a worry.

Should be dropped to VFL, send him a message.

The defense is slop, but it’s the midfield. Midfield midfield midfield. They are to blame for this. 

Maybe hunter and langdon should change sides, have may kicking out to langdons side instead of hunters. it cannot hurt.

 


75 marks to gcs to our 40. I don't know how we are still in this. Our tackling been good.

 

No Touk Miller and we still get smashed in clearance

  • 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.
