Understand they’ve got a few important players out but their starting 18 still looks threatening, albeit dropping away in quality on the interchange.

Based on our last 5 weeks I see no reason for any confidence whatsoever. Just hope we turn up and silence their likely dominant crowd early on, and build into the game from there.

    Well the stats don’t lie. To me, there is an attitudinal issue at the club. Just not prepared to work to the level required. You could probably come up with a few reasons why that is, off field issues, staffing issues (coaching), fitness maybe. Other than Gawn, Petracca and McVee, the rest (first year players excluded) have gone backwards.

    No I don't think he did. You suggested a source very close to the players, and the best 'elaboration' you offered was the stats don't lie, and your opinion.

    I agree in that the stats don't lie, but this isn't elaborating on the issues that you claim are there and that you have inside information on.

    Can any gamblers offer insight why the Dees have come in so strongly in the last 12 hours? 
     

    Do the professional punters have some insider info or is it all sentiment? @binman

    I was elaborating (offering my opinion) on what Jaded No More said that we had bigger issues if it was the case that the players cracked the sads  because of the accom and facilities. I can assure you that this is what the source said. You can either believe it or not. I do.

    Your source is as dumb AF to offer that as an excuse. Sounds like the sort of mischievous rumour a pies supporter would start.

    Love this place when people come in to offer some insight whether that's through their sources or whatever and get absolutely smashed for passing on information. 

    Classic Demonland.

    It will be very interesting to see how the players approach this game from an attitude perspective. I know last week they weren’t happy about the standard of accommodation and ground facilities (maybe sending a message to the club?), and played accordingly. Unprofessional you could argue. Another mediocre performance today, and it will be time to change something.

    I heard they saw this article and responded to the club accordingly

    Continuing to come in. $1.75 now.

    My opinion, sentiment wouldn’t move the market that much. I did see we were as much as $2.05.

    Depends on the quality of information.

    Is it just me or is there a paucity of snow-related humour since the Coodabeens went the way of The Kevin Dennis Football show?

    General feeling is Demons will bounce back. 

    Also Pies missing 4 main fwds and 3 of their top 5 mids. who will score their goals?

    no insider info imo

    A pies supporter wouldn’t be that clever

    Even money odds the difference is only 3.5 points.  That difference does not in any shape or form look at 1.75. To 2.08. The sims do not work.  
    less than a goal. Yes it could be that close 

    but MFCSS. Says no

    • 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.
