Sorry for the repeat posts.

Phone playing up.

I'd sub Woey on for Chin. Surely.

I don't think I've seen blues penalized once for htb.

Funny last week it was  7 out of 10 frees .

I was going to say our backline has imploded tonight but if our midfielders let them waltz it out of the middle then it's tough.

Pickett fence you were right Jvr is having a rough season.

Kozzie simply took his eyes off the goal then. Looked away for some strange reason and missed 

What a shame we let the blues kick the first five.

We have responded well this quarter.

Of course the umpires haven't given Carlton another dozen frees in the 2 nd and 3 rd.

Gee there have been some really unforced and lazy efforts by not a few tonight.

I hope Goody drops a few.

Billings one.

 

BILLINGS NEEDS TO BE DROPPED.

    Fritta really needs to lift. Petty has gone back to playing bad footy.

    What is it with Thursday night games and our capacity not to play well

    We did alright against Crows

    Half chance 

    Fritsch. Kozzzy.  Chandler.  Kozzy. 
     

    all missed.  
     

    needed to get 3 of those.  Not desperate enough 

     

    chin off.  Woey on !!!

    We need to learn from this game and stop gifting games to any player out of form. 

    I agree Sam.

    Unfortunately Goody is stubborn and seldom makes statement changes.


    Won't win but I reckon we'll get within 20 points

    one or two more to end the quarter.

    First things first we CANNOT concede the quick reply from the blues as they have done all game. 

    We really need to snag two more to keep this to 3 goals in the last. 


    Gee we have ruled this quarter.

    Lost it at the start with being asleep and some shocking umpiring.

    Remove the latter from the first quarter and we would be down by two or three goals.

    There was no pressure on the defender. Weak by the foghorn


    Bowsa might’ve been the wromg option on a wet night.  Plays the short game too often which is not what's needed in the wet.  And the decision to kick to the smallest guy in the forward line coming in under little pressure.

    Probably needed a run at Casey first and kept playing Woey on a dewey night who plays a longer game.

    Chin trying hard but doesn't impact often enough when he gets his opportunities for mine.  And aside from a few moments in this quarter his F50 pressure in general hasn't been at the  level you'd expect from a small pressure forward.

    Classic Langdon undercooking a shot on goal at a pivotal moment.

    Billing’s that’s enough. How many chances 

    C'mon I saw him kick it to a team mate who marked it.

    What more do you want?

    • 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.
