Will take it but that “deliberate” was disgraceful.  
Maggots zero feel for the game.

    Of course Cerra paid high when he held and dropped the ball in our goal.

    Fritsch should have handballed to Chandler. I know he scored, but dribbling it through from 20m when you've got a guy running in for a guaranteed goal isn't the play.

    Thought the same On the replay Chandler wasn't in his field of vision

    Kosi needs  to play crummer not tall

    Does my head in every week. Costs us so many shots at goal. If he stayed down instead of flying like an [censored] he’d probably win the Coleman!

    The Gawn and Grundy combination hasn't worked unfortunately. 

    Having an extra ruckman is simply robbing us of having a tall forward. Our CHF right now is either Pickett or Spargo.

    Bizarre coaching.

    I really wish the insufficient intent rule would be changed.

    Watching Tomlinson closely. The bloke has NFI. Casey is his team.

    Brown needs to be in the team at the expense of a small.

    Grawdy is fine, we can’t afford to have just the one ruckman but they shouldn’t be resting forward.

    Yep, can't remember how many times Spargo or Chandler have to contest the ball with guys 15 - 20 cm taller than them. Very stupid set up IMO.

    We're not gonna see pretty football tonight. We just need to do whatever we can to get this job done.

    Was going to say the same thing. BB would be better as a 2nd ruckman. Problem is I’m not sure Gawn is ahead of Grundy ATM 

     

    Have a bad feeling. Blues have a sniff and will come out with everything.

    We haven’t shown any composure all game and am doubtful it’s going to start now. 

    We need 2 quick goals to ice the game, but unlikely. Goody will try and shutdown the game down and I think it’s going to backfire.

    • 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.
