    Only positive is that we just could not be worse. It looks like the two games in Adelaide have taken too much out of us. Total lack of effort.

    Btw we gifted two goals, the Howes turnover and the 50m penalty to May. Score should be 34 to 16

     

    Well anyone can beat the Crows...Hawks and dogs.

    Clearly lions have put us where we belong.

    Insipid effort by our midfielders...Captain and every single fwd player.

    Lazy, week and uninterested performances by fifteen players.

    Maybe two weeks away have worn us out but this is very poor.

    Oliver can't touch it.

     


    Very flat after those two games in succession in Adelaide. Carrying too many blokes who are sore or underdone or non existent Oliver, Brown, Petty, Chandler,jvr, billings, woey, Salem (inj) ,fritsch

    If we're tired after being up for a month, you have to wonder how the coaches didn't see it through the week. If we thought we'd just turn up then the players need to get their heads checked. This is last year's grand finalists we're playing.

    One of our worst quarters in a long time.

    we aren’t interested in moving it forwards quickly, as it could expose us going the other way (even though we’re down by 5 goals 🤦‍♂️).

    why are we afraid of scoring?

    This is simplistic. We are down in all areas aside from goal accuracy compared to last year and we are getting smoked by a team that is going moderate to good in all areas aside from accuracy. Just so happens there slotting them tonight.


    👍🏻GAWN. RIV. SPARROW. LEVER. MAY. MCVEE  

    PASSENGERS : the rest 

    Petty  BBB  JVR  all hopelessly beaten 

    X stoppages 

    x fumbles 

    x disposals 

    😡😡😡umps 

    Stop Neale 

    clearances 27-18 

    Selwood says WE DONT WANT IT. Have to agree !!!

    Billings has to go out.

    Petty is also in danger.

    MAX GAWN is a poor ruckman, Ive thought this for a while, rarely feeds our mids. Great around the ground marking etc but a poor ruckman at centre bounces!

    Your better than that, maybe take a breath before you waffle

    • 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.
