Great quarter so far! We'll take that. 

We've dominated with so many forward 50 entries but just not connecting as we would like. That fine! That's the upside in the game that if we can just connect better we'll win.

Go dees!

    Did I see Fritsch limping off towards the race then? 😬

    Happy to be in front against an always-difficult opponent on a ground that is difficult to play on.

    Sydney's contested marking is giving them some looks, and our fumbly ball handling is costing us at times.

    We dominated that quarter.

    It's not his ability to get the ball It's the decision making.

    And his soley one-sided 30m maximum kicking distance

    Same!

    Happy that Fritta looks like he hasn't missed eight weeks of footy.

    How is nobody seeing how wild these set ups are? 
    That we are still winning is insane. 
    Hunter in the centre bounce. I laughed so hard.

    Thyroid issues can really kick one’s butt. I suspect that’s been the major cause of Salo’s problems this year. 

    Sure from A fitness point of view, but watching where he is running to or when he has ball in hand (over the last few weeks) has been so unlike himself. But you might be right. 
    tbh if it wasn’t Salem he would have been dropped a few weeks ago.

    Very tight, pressured, squeezed kind of game with lots of pressured turnovers. Liking Turner. Full team defence looks strong. The SCG is so tiny it makes for a scrap, and most goals will come from mids and small forwards. Tidy our kicking, we win well.

    Just making our thoughts plain. Sorry for differing from your opinion.

    How do you rate his tackle pressure and disposal?

    I rate his tackling and disposal on par with Langdon's and miles better than Jordon's.

    FWIW, I fully endorse diversity of opinion but Hunter has randomly been a whipping boy on this site all year. Langdon had a long form slump in the first half of the season and he didn't get nearly as much criticism as Hunter does.

    The dislike for Hunter on this site is really embarrassing and cringe. He's been consistently good this year and will possibly finish in the top 5 in our best and fairest.

    And by the way, he is a way better player than Jordon.

    I totally agree, except for the bit where you used “cringe” as an adjective (and yes, I know, I know, but they’re wrong too). 

    First year at the club. People need to chill.

    Our backline is just so much better with Tomlinson in there. He’s not superstar, but he plays his lockdown role well enough (88% one on one win rate, best at the club). He allows the rest of our backs to play to their strengths. It’s almost become comical now watching our defense turn to water when he’s dropped.

    We’re just cruising today so fingers crossed for no injuries.

    Half time

    Just not quite taking our chances inside 50 

    ✅✅ Gawn. Brayshaw. Fritsch.  Melksham (loved that mark and goal) 

    🤯🤯Salem. 
    🤯Kozzzy 

    🤔Turner some good and some not good 

    Strstegy - defensive…2 or 3 behind the ball and two down at stoppage but we’re winning clearances !!!

    There is a scenario where we would play Sydney in a 1st Semi final if they play/beat Carlton and we lose to Collingwood (if GWS won today).

    I’m liking the forward line setup. Not so much Rivo and Maysie taking shots for goal!

    Does anyone else reckon Rivo looks like Adam Ant with his sunscreen?

    Only if there is a quick whistle blown in time for the player to make a decision. If the umpire hasn’t blown the whistle for the first free, the player has no choice but to play on because no free has been paid yet.

    Well at time we will agree to disagree because players just keep going.

    Interesting call from Buddy to do a farewell at the SCG but not do anything at the Grand final.

    I guess Sydney is his home now and he's played there for years. Nothing more to it?

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
