    Petty looks as if he's already signed up elsewhere. He shouldn't be playing. Maybe he isn't a fwd.

    Don't know what's going on with Viney and Tracca.

    Sparrow never really dominates.

    Billings back to Casey.

    I don't mind losing but not like this. Richmond are terrible but we are letting them win from just lazy and poor efforts.

    When have we played this badly before.

    Even if we win there needs to be a microscope on this match.

    I'm sorry but we are not top four contenders. Im not even confident we are final eight after that half.

    Yze knows it’s pressure that beats Melbourne 

    What happened to our skills ?

    Imagine if we played a good side tonight like Geelong ? Would it be a 100 point drubbing.

    Maybe last week wasn’t an abomination?

    That may be the case but most of our errors have come from disposals that are under no pressure at all. Simple basics of the game.

    Is Petty anywhere near fit enough, looks miles off it.

    Yze has put together a game plan against us & it's working.

    He knows how our players operate & being around Melbourne knows he we can also crumble 

    And what about Mini for the tigers? Can he offer up anything?

    Not an excuse IMO, we are bog ordinary.

    Stay Staunch. Keep the faith.

    I think we have found out all we need to know tbh.

    We won’t be contending unless we do a complete 180.

    What pressure, most of the turn overs are under none, make you wonder wth they are thinking out there

     

    You can forget about top 4 if we lose this one.

    Richmond are on. I'll take 4pts if we can overcome the pressure. It's a great game of footy.


    Top excuses for that half of "football"

    1 Too long between games (weve got rusty)

    2. Ground too dry, we read the weather forecast and they said it would rain

    3. Jumper clash, confused by the similarities in the colours

    4. Not used to playing on Wednesday night

    5. Cant hear our team cause the crowds too big

    How do you explain the first quarter misses? Easy set shots. I honestly don’t rate Choccos goal kicking coaching.

    Assume it is blowing a gale! Only reason i can think that you miss 15 metre kicks!

    Got the binos in Clarry's hand. I'd love to see it looks good but I'd be basing that on nothing but a doctorate of sight

    Or win.

    Dunstalls full of it but summed is up perfectly..... malaise.

    I don’t even know what position Petty is playing. I don’t think he knows. 

    Or cares


    Umpires have been as effective as the disposals

    Petty in defence? Is the forward experiment over?

     

    If we can get a first round pick for Petty we grab it and run

    • 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.
