Ball kicked to Petty and he can't be bothered even competing

Soft if you need it lace-out

to lose to the puddy tatts with their best forward, their best two midfielders missing is very, very poor

Absolutely.

Let’s not totally blame ANB for the loss, we can also blame Fritsch for that idiotic dangerous tackle.

*Perfect tackle

Now we need bang, bang, bang, bang

There should be a lot of nervous blokes heading into the review. At least 6 who are horribly scared of body contactĀ 

I’d love to see one game this year where we hit up targets instead of bombing it on heads.

Fritta and Kossie are not taking marks against this backline in the dry, no chance in the wet

Any chance of Gawn doing anything positive this year? There's more to being a leader than doing media appearances. Viney is putting him to shame at the moment.Ā 

Viney is putting a lot of guys to shame these last few weeks.

Amazing how we can’t keep an open forward line.Ā 

Oh who's the coach, that's right a ruckman and a coach who's allowed a dysfunctional forward line the last 2 years.


I want a national trust formed to ban us from playing on this ground for 5 yearsĀ

Our forward 50 work is absolutely freaking horrible.Ā 

This. We have to work far too hard to score.

This team is going to waste this talent we've got.

That kick sums up Max's nightĀ 

Melbourne 2021

Geelong 2022

Potentially Port 2023

All quick burst scoring with just sheer brute speed and perfection in the middle. Teams get spooked and you're behind before you even realise it's 10 goals difference.

We had our moment in 2021. The days of Richmond, Hawthorn, Brisbane type flags are over (for now).

32 years old next year. He’s has knee recos and the back of his head has been caved in with the constant punches over the last few years. He’s near the end and isn’t going to have much of a meaningful impact onfield going forward.

Ā 

Langdon one of them, what a difference with Hunter.

Only melbourne can make rohan look like an actual footballer.Ā 


Feels similar to the Port loss.. wet night, we didn’t adjust and the opposition took opportunities by more composureĀ 

Congratulations Gary Rohan, tonight's recipient of the Kent Kingsley Award For Spuds Who Play Well Against Melbourne award.

Full credit to Salem.

He hasn't played for eons.

Comes back and immediately asserts himself as a great player.

There are lot of players that could learn from his comittinment.

We played some good footy followed by dome really dumb footy.

Max needs to stop doing podcasts and focus on playing footy again.

Exactly they are a mid table team at best this year, this is slightly above the Essendon loss for our worst performance of the year. Our players pick and choose when they can be bothered, with the talent they have on the list it is infuriating that they are letting it go to waste. We should be dominating the competition but we are looking like also rans

  • 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?Ā I mean by ā€œtheyā€ 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.Ā 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 winningĀ 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.
