Best.  May. Windsor. Gawn. Trac. 

Brown not a touch 

Fritsch chasing shadows

others are seriously down tonight 

umps are 🤢🤢🤡🤡🤡🤢🤡🤢🤡🤡

 

Solid half of footy.  We have been quite fumble at times, so a bit to tidy up.  Great to see McVee in great form.

Biggest frustration that half for me was Rivers kicking.  Missed a short one that gave up a goal which happens.  The real frustration is when he kicks long and it goes super high and takes for ever to get there.  Kick it long, fast and flat and it becomes a weapon.

    fine at most

    Ch 7 / Kayo seem to be barracking for it.  I am sure Christian won't see that harmless act as a footy action

    Threw out the elbow a bit. As an impartial I’d give him a week purely for stupidity. Not good timing as we need him for the Lions

    His problem is he's got form.

    Fair enough if he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt.

    Needs to cut that stuff out.

    Oliver, Salo and even Anb very quiet.

    If they lift we are home.

    We need to put the foot down and get 5 or 6 goals clear of the crows and umps (crumps) in the 3rd.

     

    The best combination of defensive and attacking football I have sen from McVee. Under pressure a lot of the time too. 
     

    Another JT special. 
     

    Man fanning both atm

    Yep that’s a week for sure, contact with the head tucked the arm in left the ground looked for the contact, if unlucky could be 2

    ANB continuing the good form as well IMO. McDonald, Lever, and McVee have all been great as well in defence.

    I love Riv, but I think his short disposal game can be questionable at times

    That's because you flip flop, ya duffer.

    No I don’t, I always said we were capable of first


    Oliver's hand obviously hampering him big time.

    Kozzie will get 1 week for that due to the new rule of “potential to cause harm”

    Refer the Liam Baker suspension last week.

    Why does he keep putting himself in these situations?

    No force or impact or injury.

    He is not a Pies player and will get suspended.

    What I am seeing so far.

    Windsor is all class as is Mc Vee.

    Excellent game from Petracca so far and the work of the defence is just wonderful.

    I like JVR's game so far as well. He is moving well and throwing himself about a bit.

    I also like that the coaching team are using Gawn well. Giving him breaks as required and breaking up Crow's structure.

    Viney is also having a very good game. Just doing what he usually does.

    What I am looking for in the second half.

    More midfield pressure and a bit more teamwork to break Oliver free. 

    Defence to carry on as is.

    Like that we just pushed on with the game.

    Go Dees!

    • 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.
