Probably the most boring read of any game preview I've come across.  Up to page 12 and still not a word for next week’s game.  Their fans have all but given up on the season and now turning on a few of their players. 

  • Thank you Rory, you've been a wonderful player, but shouldn't be selected again
  • Changes??? I couldn't care less anymore.  The only changes I'm interested in are changes at the end of the year.
  • Continuity matters. Still mathematical finals chance. No change. 
    • That will absolutely loose me
  • Why bother even starting this thread.  when we know that sloane, sholl, murphy, mchenry are going absolutely fxxkn nowhere.  they wont be dropped. Not a fxxkn chance.
  • I would think so highly of Rory if he announced his retirement this week. Or that he didn't want to be picked, and will play 2s for the rest of this year. And maybe next.
  • I have no idea what they can do with Sloane. He's miles of it, but there seems to be some delusion about where he's at.
  • Powaa has no problem dropping their captain. Sloane isn't even captain and the club is scared of the reaction from the Facebook brigade. Fmd.
  • I can't wait for next February where we argue which spud deserves his spot in the best 22 only for the happy clappers to talk about what amazing depth we have.
  • We push Murphy from the forward line up to the stoppages because it's the only thing he's good at..  The other team doesn't care about him because of his poor skills so we gift them an extra in defence.
  • If Crouch or Himmelberg are playing on Sunday I'm not going

Poor Rory!!  Imagine if we had talked about Jonesy like that.  No respect being shown to Sloane.

I'll check back in a few days and hope they have something more interesting to say.

    I’m surprised they know any of their players names.

    Sloane has given his heart and soul to that club and has had some big personal off field tragedies to overcome at the same time. 

    To think his own supporters can talk about him like he’s yesterday’s trash is pathetic. 
    Then again, they don’t build them smart over in SA.

    Disappointed there wasn’t a post about how we’ll crush them or about how overrated we are.

    They don't even realise there is a game this week let alone who they will be playing!

    Good! Let them forfeit the game, we'll gladly take the 4 points plus rest our players 👍🏻

    Honestly it looks like Demonland pre 2021. And even sometimes since.

    But as much as I despise that club, I do feel for the fans... a bit. That club self destructed in a big self inflicted way, so I don't blame them for irrational anger.

    Maybe they should listen to the Melbourne theme song over and over again in preparation for the match?

    Sounds ridiculous but  I still rate the Crows. They run like scalded cats, have a decent midfield and sometimes an effective forward line. Sort of game where if we are slightly off we'll be licking our wounds. I reckon they are as good or better than the Don's, Freo and GWS and we know we fared against them...

    yeah, you've got to take each game as a danger game

    Doesn't sound ridiculous at all.

    A good team, who have genuine leg speed, quality across all lines, potent forward line as evidenced by their crazy good percentage, a strong sytem dialled to run and carry like the pies and buy in.

    They won't be as flat against us as  they have been for the last couple of games, and I expect them to be running on top of the ground on Sunday and present a real challenge.

    My expectation is they will attack, and look to run at as with handball chains and wave running a la the pies.

    If they can beat us or port next round, I think they’ll make the 8.

    I don't think they'll beat us, but I reckon they're a huge chance of beating Port, as Port will struggle defensively with  the crows speed of ball movement from the back half (as do we if not on).

    Crom are a good mid-table team. They're falling off as the year progresses but they looked really good in patches. Almost close to top 4 quality. Suspect we will (should) deal with them easily this week. But I rate them with GWS and Hawthorn as clubs I'm not generally worried about but am still kind of sort of worried about (see: Alice Springs game).

    Yes, Crows are all about meh meh meh - possibly because too many are of German descent and don't know how to spell ME. ( Hopefully, the same doesn't apply to you. You certainly don't look German...)

    I can confirm this. I was born in Adelaide and last night I was looking for my phone for a good 2 minutes while holding it.

    Agree, no such thing as an easy game for us for the rest of the season. Even North will be tricky, my understanding is that Clarkson resumes control when we play them.

    Hope we get a lot of supporters turning up this Sunday. Almost embarrassing at times the way Choco, Goody and even Petracca are almost begging for fans to turn up and make some noise 

    In the meantime…….One game at a time.

    • 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.
