Why we let Jordan go is beyond me 

You know very well that he chose to leave as a free agent.  We had no say in it.

Why you persist in peddling this "let him go" furphy is perplexing.

    He left because of chances so in effect we let him go

    I can’t see Yze surviving the next 2 years regardless of how good a coach he is. They haven’t hit bottom yet but it’s coming

    The expression "poison chalice" springs to mind.

    Can we rebrand the leftover merchandise from Ninthmond to Northmond?

    We wanted him to stay.  That's not letting him go.

    When a player is not getting a go regularly and has limited opportunity they all go to greener pastures and that was the case full stop no matter how you want to spin it.

    I'm looking at the Norf score and, regardless of the myriad of issues, they should not be this bad. There's a couple of players who do not give a stuff and in just about any other team would be dropped for lack of effort. Zurhaar plays like a bloke marking time until recruited by a big club. He's not alone. Pathetic.

    Gosh these 2 games are soooo 1 sided.

    Wonder how dimma is enjoying Darwin. Usually likes to complain about travelling. 

    These older Geelong players are going to tire easily in the Darwin weather next week

    Yep and the nrl didn't help me either. The storm got beaten. 

    I'm just watching the Darwin game wishing I could get some of their 29 degree weather

    North, Richmond and Suns are Essendon’s next three games.

    They’ll be top 2 soon. 

    We beat St Kilda, West Coast and North in rounds 8,9 and 10 in 2022 and then fell in a hole we haven’t yet quite fully extracted ourselves. Let’s hope same happens to them. .

    Losing Harmes, JJ and Gus in one season. They are 3 premiership players. And you wonder why our midfield has fallen off the face of this earth. 
     

    Yea a little dramatic… but point to be made. 

    Exactly this!!!

    Richmond have 4 flags to hang their hat on, but what in the sweet Jesus is happening at Norf? 
    I never thought I’d see someone be worse than us under Neeld, but I think they have us covered 😧

    Sydney will come back to the pack. Happens every year. They haven’t had too many hard games just yet. 

    Did you mean Essendon? Because Sydney is far and away the competition's number 1 seed right now, mainly because they have the league's best record against good sides.

    They've beaten the sides currently sitting 3rd, 4th, 5th and 8th, plus 9th and 10th.

    No other top 8 side has that many wins against fellow contenders, nor are any of them undefeated against fellow contenders.

    It's bizarre that Richmond beat the Swans.

    Gold coast play Geelong in Darwin next week and they're without Cameron and Hawkins.

    A loss there could see the cats fall as far as 7th at the end of next week.

    It is and it’s also a good reminder that these bottom clubs will win matches this year. Just got to make sure we don’t slip up against them.

    Feel a bit sorry for Yze but not for Richmond.

    • 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.
