Boundary umpire is the dill. 

Nobody blew a whistle, why did he just stand there allowing the guy to rag doll him around whilst making no attempt to get rid of it

    Arm wrestle with 16th place. Words you love to hear. 

    Can we PLEASE take control of this after half time and bury these [censored]? They inflicted so much pain on us over the years. It’s not yet time, not even close, that they can return to that. 

    They’re 16th, missing their best mid. No excuses.

    Boundary and goal umpires are having a laugh this weekend.

    Absolutely disgraceful display. Unaccountable green [censored]. 


    Could barely have played worse, similar to Carlton yesterday.

    Such sloppy skills, spending it before we've earned it and dropping easy handballs (Petracca, Laurie, Salem).
    It's an attitude thing - the boys are not intense enough which is just bizarre given this win is going to lock in top 4 and it's Gawn and ANB's milestone games.

    The boundary umpire was right there. Viney was a metre out.

    So glad we have 90 umpires now. They’re all doing such a stellar job 🙄

    Kozzie and Chandler need to get busy in the forward line. Just be front and centre at the fall of the ball.

    Another putrid umpiring display 

    Absolutely and I won’t mention that boundary umpire. Every time we get tackled, it’s holding the ball and we can’t get one as usual.

    60 minutes to show some top 8 level competence otherwise top 4 is slipping away from us. Underwhelming but not unsurprising. 

    Hey all, eyes off the umpires for a second and more onto our crud display. Can't hit the backside of a barn with our disposal right now.

    Arm wrestle with a team who beat the premiership favourites two weeks ago.

    I'm complaining about both things 😪

    Hawthorn much cleaner, Petracca, Pickett and Oliver really need to lift. Would be worth getting Schache on as our forward line is too small

    Why.. we have no tall forwards to bring the ball to ground

    Other than the opportune goal out the back I'm not sure I've seen Smith

    We need the small forwards to lead to space

    It’s par for the course, Jaded. None of us have the vaguest idea what they’ll do at any time. It’s a complete mess. 
    Meanwhile, we’re playing very poorly.

    Kozzie unsighted again.

    He is breaking Jack Dyers rule no.1 don't get where the ball ain't. Ever since he was suspended he has been poor in 90% of games.

    • 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.
