    Well, by Demonland logic Geelong must have fluked last years Premiership?

    They fluked it far more than we did*
    If Pies don’t go down to Sydney by a point in the prelim, I reckon Cats don’t win it. 

    *there is no such thing as a fluked flag ffs

    Hard to believe that we could still be fourth after the weekend. 

    Need something special from GC!

     

    Also a Richmond upset and Crom defeating Brisbane at home would be greatly appreciated.

    Lots of sliding door moments. Luck, avoiding injuries, building momentum etc will be decisive in second half of season. We are not there yet. Last season Collingwood rode their luck with winning all their close finishes in regular season but 2 close losses  killed their finals campaign. Their game was matched in heated finals pressure.

    Hogan just took a really good mark 

    he would have made a wonderful transitional forward for us as I tried to explain last year. Laughed at by many but tell me who is better Hogan or TMac

    Just watching a bit of GC$ v Dogs just why (for one of hundreds of reasons) there must never be a Darwin based team.    Just never suitable for AFL winter footy.  
    (And if they did any guesses how often Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon Geelong would ever have to go there?)
    Of course Gil or Dill May say yes if they have a billion dollar taxpayer funded covered air conditioned stadium.

    Yes.  But, Tom is a MFC player and as such deserves support of all true Demon fans, regardless of his current limitations.   It is not a choice we have.

    If there was ever a team based out of Darwin, I could understand the AFL demanding a stadium with a roof. Not so much Hobart.

    • 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.
