Kolt hasn’t done a lot but at least is energetic and attacks the contest. Some of the others could follow his example e.g Billings

    Don't recommend it IHW. Even if you get bail before I'm back in Mt Eliza.

    Move Petty back & T Mac forward. Worth a try at least.

    Petty's a liability mate

    Umpires gave one goal to Brisbane. Our Defender gave them 2 more, see Howes turnover and May's 50m penalty.

    Shaping up to be our worst  performance since the Port loss in 2020 at the Gabba.

    Have to agree.

    Well he's two disposals above Bbb. .Fritta and Petty the latter who has had zero touches.

    Petty no touches in a half.....hmmm.

    Not sure why he thought his [censored] poor effort chasing that ball to the boundary was so funny.

    Days like this is what makes you wonder how do the coaches prepare a team for this type of match? 7 day rest and we look like we didn't train during the week.


    Gotta say so far Joey Montagna is 1000000000000000% on the money sadly

    Too many passengers, other posters have named them. Worst half of football I can remember. Pathetic. Maybe we should consider moving our home games to the Adelaide Oval. This supposed home ground of ours holds absolutely no fear for anyone. Glad I got sick and couldnt go.

    If he hasn't been extended by the end of July, consider him gone I think.

    The TAB has the line at 26.5pts so if we can get the final result under 4 goals then the night won’t be a complete disaster and we’ve salvaged a bit of percentage.

    Show some fight for a bloke playing his first game FFS

    Missing Kosi badly. Could spark our midfield right now. 

    I hear you Jaded but that's all on him. Thanks Mr elevated elbows. I love your skills but your agro needs to go. What good are you if your suspended every month?

    Godspeed

    Well at least the Haymes paint all the goals video will be short maybe they can skip it this week

    Any ideas coming out of the coaches box this evening? have not seen any positive moves they might have made. 

    How about swapping petty and Tmac for a quarter? we might get a bit more out of Petty at least.

    Have to try something.  T-Mac swap might work.

    JVR plays mostly ruck.  Max goes forward.

    What to do with Billings & BBB.  Both need to lift big time.

    Same with mid field.

    Really missing Kozzy's class,  pressure including his occasional stints in the middle.

    A few are still in form but too many are flat as a tack.

    The ball also hasn't bounced our way alot tonight 

    The glaring ump error against Clarry was a shocker.

    Somehow need to free Tracc up.  I'd be playing him forward for a stint early this quarter.

    Kolt in the middle for a while when Tracc is forward and see if he can spark something maybe.  Too soon?


    Ok glad I didn’t watch much of that qtr.

    It may be self-punishment but I’ll watch after half time to see if we’re actually going to do/change anything.

     Midfield need to pick up. Take marks. Run the lions ragged. Kick lots of goals 

     

    What in the world is the reason we have not won a centre clearance for so long.

    Not just this game

    • 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.
