For mine:

Hibbo on

Smith forward

JJ off

Agree. We will need the extra smarts out the back today, and a little X factor in the goal square.

    Chill. We are good. Our defence is elite. They have spent many tickets. We will be OK

    Salem has had our second most disposals and every one looked like he was panicking.

    People are bagging JJ but he is at least running hard and making position. 
     

    Blues have 8 of the top 10 possession getters.

    Sparrow has had 4 possessions and turned two over for a massive 28 meters gained, 1 tackle, JJ has 10, 60% eff, 2 tackles 150meters game but JJ is the problem here for some. 
     

    If we don’t lift intensity up quite a lot they will steam roll us in the second half.

    Right in this game when we absolutely shouldn't be.

    Carlton playing as good a footy as they can and we are playing average... yet we're only down by 2 points!

    Get some players to lift and we got this.

    I don't think we're playing average. They are just all over it. We've taken our chances. They need to put us away.

    JJ has been much better than Sparrow who has 4 touches at 50% two turnovers, 1tackle 28 meters gained. I’d sub him before JJ.

    ANB could've gone deep to a contest then.  Instead tries to thread the needle through heavy traffic.  The distance was too far, inviting the intercept.

    Poor decision there from such an experienced player.  Turnover.... goal.

    I don’t know how many times Hewitt has been caught and just dropped it. 

    External review needed 

    I wonder if anyone has any connections to any big 4 consultancy firms who could readily assist? 🔎🔎🕵️‍♀️🕵️‍♀️

    • 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.
