Was the boo for Zorko due to anything off the ball tonight? Or just cause he’s a little [censored]?

At the ground and didn't see anything specific, I think its just bc he's an awful person.

    They killed us at the stoppages, and we are letting their wide onballers run free. But we are only 14 points down. Need Gawn to stop the big slaps to nowhere, and our mids to get their hands on the ball.

    Raynor's quarter:

    12 disposals

    7 contested possessions

    7 inside 50s

    6 clearances

    2 goal assists

     

     

    Absolutely punishing our lazy mids tonight. He is running off Windsor at will.

    Umpires copping the blame for a shambolic first quarter.

    Wrong. It's the woeful under-performance of most of our players.

    Oliver, van Rooyen, Petty, Windsor and Brown might as well have stayed on holiday in Adelaide.

    Oliver without a touch so far

    Whoever passed him fit needs to be SACKED Clearly not🤮

    Should never have played Oliver. Liability with that finger injury. I can see a 5+ goal loss coming our way. 

    First quarter and we look to be off our game a bit and half a step behind the Lions. Given the amount of time that ball spent in our defensive 50 I am surprised that we are only 2 goals down.

    Brisbane pressure was off the charts in that quarter and we were not clean with the ball in hand. We need to combat Brisbane by stepping up our pressure and putting them back on their heels. and making them think.

    Neale and Rayner causing problems and need to be contained.

    we deserve to be losing right now but the umpiring decisions aren't going our way either. they get every 50/50 and we get none.

    Viney and Oliver zero impact is a worry.

    Bbb no touch but to be fair the ball rarely goes inside our fifty.

    Salem down equals an injury every week.

    Need to rally.

    Umps pull your head in.

    You can't play soft, fumbly football and expect to compete.

    Starting to come around for a line forwards or backs cannot cross during play, this is just ruby.

    Fancy the lions serving up slop so far this year and here even hipwood is having a dip. To be fair though we are helping them along. Midfield getting thrashed, defence pretty poor. Sloppy, no marks, lots of passengers.

    Positive? Kolt looks the goods. Great kick to Fritta

    • 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.
