Anyone who thinks this is a player problem is beyond me, the way we play is dictated by the coach.

Harmes, JJ avoiding scrutiny, Joeboy? (Admittedly JJ little game time)

Yep, it's Goodwin who fumbles, who miskicks, and who runs around like a headless chook.


Harsh on McVee who was decent.

Viney had a crack and tried hard to lift us in final quarter.

No but he tells them where to run and where to position and teams run through us like a hot knife through butter.

" Neal-Bullen - rarely sighted again "

19 Disposals 9 tackles, obviously he was really rarely sighted (especially by Freemantle, who did not see him coming..

Gawn Playing Sore?

Spargo needs more.

When you have a dysfunctional forward line, it is always going to be hard to win. Love TMac, but unfortunately he's passed it. I still can't believe how the opposition clear the ball without a contest in the corridor. We miss Harry and of course, Clarry. Loved Kossie's endeavour today.  He didn't have enough mates though.  Nibbler?

Would have had 30 possessions if he could pick the ball up.

Trac and ANB have an incredible ability to fumble the ball

He also had 2 touches in the first half. Not a good one from the vice captain and an even worse one from the captain  

 


This is savage. Way over the top imo.

Way over the top. Hardly.  Home game v an average team. Darcy off in second qtr.  So many missed tackles. So many turnovers.  So many missed shots at goal. So many wasted inside 50s.  Freo was not great by the way. We were just horrible.  
Gus, Salem, Trac, May, Fritsch and Sparrow all tried their best. 

Where's the 2021 version?

I don't know how he gathered 19 but his kicking game was a disaster.

  • 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.
