Dees at $2.20 is rediculous 

I reckon that will tumble in by the bounce.

I love that Salos back in town. How many times, especially pre flag, have I seen a shambolic Melbourne - to be cured by a Salem tackle/block/turnover/sidestep and perfect delivery. 

Statement play and recalibrates the whole team

Might have a sneaky $50 on us at that price

Geez, talk about going from one extreme to the other. Why are roughing up JJ & tapping him on the backside the only two choices for Viney? Just because Danny says no to roughing him up doesn’t mean he suggests the tap on the backside.

FWIW, JJ left our Club because we weren’t in a position to afford him the opportunity that he’s now getting at Sydney. Zero animosity. He left with our collective blessing. Same goes for Toby. 

You’re wasting your time trying to explain anything to this poster.

It really highlights how easily people are swayed by media sentiment. The bookies would be loving it.

Watched the Sydney game against Brisbane and Ladhams was far away the better ruckman between he and Grundy.

Grundy ran around looking like he lacked the required match fitness.

Hmmm that’s really interesting… particularly for my SuperCoach team 😬

Billings, Windsor should debut 

I’d give Clarry another week to build up after a very interrupted pre season

 

I wouldn't, Swans midfield in disaray, keep him out and he plays???? What another Casey game?

Nar.... UNLEASH CLARRY CHOO CHOO😁

I have a feeling that Clarry's absence is not just form or fitness related, and as such i think he will come back when Max and the team say he can return to the ones.

Seriously???? A four time B & F and all Aussie and you want to flirt with team oks?

Nup if he is ready he plays! No ifs or buts

Who gets Papley? He’s the only forward of theirs that worries me. He’ll either kick 5 or 0 

McVee is my guess. Little Papa might run through the middle as well.

Agree, if Paps gets off the chain he could change the whole match very quickly. Juddy or perhaps Riv?

Is the Swans midfield in disarray?

l certainly hope we go in with a preparedness to take them on. According to today’s AFL website story: Double Trouble. Pair’s Injuries Add to Swans Midfield Woes. Beyond the glib headlines they bat rather deep.

Absolutely not in disarray, and as for people saying if Clarrie is physically fit he plays no ifs or but, that would be a massive mistake. The club knows what they are doing and if he’s ready they will play him. If they choose to give him another week or so it will be for the best.

Swans midfield still has Guilden, Warner, Heeney, with Sheldrick who will step up this year and Jordan, Rowbottom to run through there. Papley may also get short stints through there. I don’t think our FD will be underestimating them

If we Dont play Clarry and it goes to the wire.... and we lose... Good luck on this site🤯

Mate, Clarry lacking match fitness will not be the difference between winning and losing.

Time to put aside the bromance, picket

Clarry is more important than one game. the club will do what’s best for him

We covered him very well last year

If our culture is so fragile that it requires Oliver having an unofficial and hidden (from the public/supporters) first team suspension to not shatter it, we have some pretty deep issues.

I don't have blind faith in the club, but I don't believe that we have problems of that magnitude.

If you believe in selection integrity, there is absolutely no rational justification for Oliver not playing given he has been reintegrated into the team and has played two practice matches. 

 

Papley can have an all Australian small defender on him every game and he’ll still do what he does every second weeks. Loves being under fire, loves being roughed up, loves being doubted and especially loves being a focal point. Take care of the rest of the ground and Papley can’t do anything.

  • 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.
