Just me or does this feel like there is no intensity? Players have space to move…

nothing like last night.

Dees and Pies are still likely the best 2 sides in it (Brissy in Brissy probably 1st-and-a-half). Sucks to be 2nd best on the night last night but we're still a red hot chance to make it to the GF.

    I love that the chart in the opening post has Sydney 'make a semi final' and Carlton 'win a final' as if they are different things.

    Anyway, as much as I think we're better placed to beat Sydney, I'd rather Carlton won tonight because I am simply sick of the sight of the Swans continuing to get by on massive draft concessions and 'loose' umpiring.

    imv we're just as likely to make the GF as we are to lose next week. I'd back us to beat Brisbane in Brisbane. Carlton have Melbourne 2018 vibes about them. They won't lose tonight and they're a red hot chance next week.

    90k plus?

    A lot of blues ‘fans’ must have needed directions to the G after not turning up for the last 15 years

    Well, guess we're playing Carlton next week. Sydney don't have the kicking boots on.

    Would love Sydney to pull a Norf circa 2014 or 2015 vs Richmond and come from nowhere to beat them.

    For [censored] sake. There’s only 2 teams who could outnumber us at the G in this final’s campaign and we get them back to back.

    We’ve had no luck this year at all.

    But alas.

    Who's kicking it in there? The ball ping pongs out (giving us record inside 50s) because the mids delivering it in are too timid to get it in quickly). Clean up accuracy and get it in quicker and we put q4 on the board instead of quarters 1-3.

    Been a shocker.

    Sadly I wouldn't be surprised to be rolled by Carlton.

    Icing on the cake.

    I reckon I've seen that exact scenario about 5-6 times this year and not only was it not fifty, it was play on. Petracca did it one game and it was fine.

    I can’t wait to lose to this [censored] mob next week. Nothing better than going from one bunch of meth head inbred fans to the next.

    • 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.
