We are now very much on top. The wet ground and the poor excuse for an AFL standard oval kept Geeling in it.

Stop the 3-4 small in close handballs.

We don't crumb packs well at all. Bruhn, Close and Miers are a cut above our crumbing players.

Salem, Hibberd, Grundy, Smith and Rivers playing well.

Please stop kicking it straight to Stewart and Guthrie. 

Agree, we are well on top - just need to show it on the scoreboard. Can we swing Petty forward. Either way, subbing out a tall for Spargo should help.

Good/decent: Hunter, Smith, Salem, Grundy, Rivers and Viney. 

Bad: Brayshaw, Tracc, Max, the umpiring and whoever is playing on Rowan!

 

I reckon we've smashed them pretty much all game. Keep this up and I've no doubt we'll win.

We will win this. Smith BOG

Ummm, it was disappointing....

And Salem cops $3k for tackling a bloke and winding him

We improved that quarter and upped the pressure. I expect us to step up a bit more this next quarter. 

We will have to if we are to overcome the rubbish umpire's decisions.

This quarter is ours.

 

 

More concerned with their non decisions 

 

Geelong is playing from behind, and using the soft or close to the line scragging. Why doesn't the one who wants and get to the ball first, get an advantage anymore? Becoming more of a defenders game, if the umps don't pay those in the backs, push and shove 5 meters away from ball when in a stoppage, and holding.

C'mon Tracc, run over them.

    My pregame post said tight to half time ..... and then away we go

    I'm sticking with that prediction

    I tipped us by 20. If we come out composed and continue to lock that ball in our 50, we win for sure.

    The bigger bench and a sub helps to make the 37 that beats the 35.

    Agree.

    Our small forwards not getting near it and entry into F50 worse than disgusting.

    Max is a fantastic captain but there have been times when he's needed to forget the umpires and man the hell up.

     

    This is one of them

    Jon Ralph said it would probably be a fine. Dunstall said Stewart looked at Jack, saw him holding his shoulder then pushed him over and said he does stupid things at times, Joey said it's what the AFL I'd trying to crack down on and Sarah Jones said it's not a good look and you wouldn't want to see it in junior football

    • 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.
