Van Rooyen isn't the answer for a backup ruckman 

Been real good as a ruckman. Not sure what you are watching

    We are playing a different style and our poorer skills and decision making is laid bare. 
     

    Need to get the lead and lock the game down. 

     

    They look too polished unless we lift

    Don’t usually post in the game day thread but that 2nd qtr effort was disgusting. Brisbane are hardly the toughest & they smashed us around the footy. We looked soft.

    Without Petracca it feels like we’d a bottom 8 team.

    Agreed. Giving us good use with his second efforts. He’s really not bad.

    Spargo deserves an absolute roast!

    Gave Brisbane all the momentum after that stupid turnover when he decided to kick across the field near CHF and caused the turnover.

    I'd dead set Sub him out for that.

    100% our biggest weakness tonight.

    He has never hit form at any stage since the concussion.  Coming back to bite the selectors on the bum.

    A pitty Clazz aint ready.  Straight swap

    Yep nailed it. I'm all for fast ball movement but needs to be in the right players hands.

    Trying to play a bit too quick and risky. Been good to watch but lions on top now

    As soon as the pace and pressure picked up, we've panicked and our forward 50s are ooozing pus again

    Unfortunately May is getting taught a lesson by Daniher. 

    He really got going that quarter.

    Their half backs are just clearing it way too easily. 

    Doesn't help when Spargo, Anb, Melksham and Pickett offer zero defensive pressure.

    Glad to see the negative trolls are back after losing that quarter.

    A very disappointing quarter, but they are a top 4 team for a reason. They move it better than us. They have much better forwards than we do, so they can actually kick it forward with some purpose. They were all over us and make us pay for every turnover, while rarely turning it over themselves. 

     

    We have to get back to winning the contested game. We can’t win it in a shoot out.

    Don't worry guys, our loading program will see us blow them out of the park in the second half. That will be the reason we win. 

    @binmanand @A F guarantee it. 

    But if it doesn't occur, you can't blame loading okay? 

    It'll be other reasons. 

     

    Are you at the game this week Steve, or still in Europe complaining that Melbourne supporters don't turn up to games, and in the same breath lauding how important Collingwood's crowd is to their arousal levels?

    We need Smith's height and mobility at half fwd

    Should be straight in for Spargo from now.

    Let's hope we don't wait till the last 15 min

    He was supposed to be a fwd though. Not like we don't have a better ruck option in Grundy.

    Can't defend quick ball movement!!!

    Any chance we can get a coach to tell these guys to lower eyes and hit a leading target going forward !!!

    Bomb in everytime to Brisbane advantage

    You’d think we are playing a division 3 team, not a premiership contender.

    • 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.
