Softest contact sport in the world. 
 

NRL here I come. 

It will be near unwatchable in another 5 years. Slowly but surely sucking any ounce of physicality out of it.

I’m very proud of that effort

Honestly what is Hunter meant to do there?

Competing for the ball is now reportable (apparently)

Accidents happen and that should just be a high contact free kick and that's the end of it

Really cheap free and goal to finish that quarter. Would have all but ruled Port out but they will take something from that. Gonna be a tight one 


Great quarter, Rivers stiff to give free for holding!

Demons keep tempo up and they will win.

Butters has irritated me tonight with his nerdy and punchable face. Would love him in red and blue, kid can play.

 

As the newly minted 4th quarter specialists I’m looking forward to us continuing our good work from q3 and ignoring that late goal. 

Grundy didn’t get in to the field of play. McDonald didn’t get off the ground and who knows where Lever was for that. Not a great effort for a ball that probably could’ve been touched with the perfect run and jump 


Love for that to continue. Port will surely come back with a bit of fire.

Let’s see that 4th quarter Dees special please. 
 

Port gonna throw the kitchen sink - we cannot sit back and try to absorb it.

Bloody good player though 

port player ran shoulder first in the melbourne player on the line to keep him out of play no free. that holding man is a disgrace all night long people have been holding and dropping the ball and all of a sudden the ump pulls that our of his butt. Why can we not play like we did in the third quarter for four quarters. hopefully they have got up enough steam to keep going in the last to finish port off.

4 umps all trying to justify their pay packet. 


Never wanted to win a game so much.

If we win I'm streaking 

Look out Northern Wollongong.

We won some clearances. Hit targets. Marked. Got numbers to the ball. Hunted in packs and stuck our tackles.

It's like someone hit the on button.

He’s brilliant. And he must smell horrific or have Covid, because nobody wanted to get near him 🙄

Good quarter, they started hearing footsteps. 

Tracc and Oliver played as a team.

We out worked Lycett. 

Now to drive it home, keep our intensity and limit the pressure on the backline.

Rivers, getting better and better.

 

That was epic lads. Super super QTR.

Trac got his wack & responded. 

Centre Clearance wins!

& how about this boy Rivers tonight good lord!!!

You don't win many games of footy against top line oppos on one decent quarter.

One more 'big boy pants' quarter!


I love this club but boy our Jekyll and Hyde, atrocious and brilliant, sloppy and excellent patches in games is killing me. We were brilliant that quarter. 

One heck of a last quarter coming up.

Smells like all his supporters. 

 

This would be the biggest win since the granny I reckon, if we can snag it.

You've got to be joking me

Technically it was there like about 80 others not paid this match in the rain. Rivers holding on didn’t actually impede the player who was going no where in that scrimmage but you know give the umps half a chance.

  • 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.
