    Question mark on May’s assessment. He wasn’t great and looks very stiff and sore. Very lucky to be playing on a player who was clearly injured (Waterman) who still ran him around and kicked a couple.

    Sparrow offers nothing.

    I agree; May was often a metre or two behind.

     You are harsh on Oliver. He combined with the others to keep Reid to minor impact.

    I want him to start running assertively with the ball when he gets it and put the defence on its heels.  I understand he is playing to instruction however too often he gets it and stops.  Its hard to offer damage when doing that constantly.

    Lever :Needs to contest marks, rather then talking about it.

    TMac : Thank heavens !!!

    Yes  (May) he was then he jumps up and takes a couple of impressive marks. With a pass to milkshake for a goal ( I think)

    thought Clayton played within himself and his ability. But we won by 54 points. Round 10 they beat us by 35 points.
     

    pretty good turnaround.  Go Dee’s

    joeboy - brevis  Sporting Globe

    Ed Langdon - mojo magic working 

    Caleb Windsor - get dictionary out?

    Steven May - keep Petty campaign 

    Tom McDonald - best tall defender

    Kade Chandler - underrated defensive forward 

    Taj Woewodin - 🎼 start me up

    Looking forward to next Saturday night at the ‘G. Opening quarter was exemplary. Last quarter an incremental improvement.

    Think we need Petty in the backline next week on 2 metre Peter.

    Think we need Petty at Casey to find some form, Disco down back and JEFFO to debut!

    Which forward are you dropping for Jeffo?

    Chandler, to Sub, Jeffo to debut. Chandler has not hit the scoreboard anywhere near enough for a small forward!

    I thought Lever was pretty poor. He struggles big time when he’s one-on-one against a genuine tall.

    Mat is a metre or two behind every week these days.

    If he wasn't so good he'd be finished.

    I have to agree, I think Mat was more than a meter behind his man. He must of been in the stands. I did not see Mat all game. 
     

    Hands up all Demonlander’s named Mat who attended today. Get in front FFS 😳😳🤩🤩😆😆

     

    Oh, you need a referral to the Physio too 😬😬

    With respect mate, you’ve been a tad obsessed with this Jeffo talk of late Picket. The kids finally finding his feet & starting to play some nice consistent footy. Why the rush? & especially how the forward line seems to be functioning the past couple weeks.

    The only time is see Jeffo debuting is if & when we’re out of the finals race. & the longer he’s not in the one’s the better it would seem we’re going.

    All things going well, he gets to build his case over a strong pre-season with a chance to impress for an early debut in 25’

    Lever was absolutely terrible. I'm guessing he was directly responsible for about 8 shots on goal, mostly to Allen. He is tall, but he's not a genuine tall defender.

    Funk and Wagnall was I believe made popular by frequent references in Rowan and Martin's Laugh In

    Fair point but if Sparrow's career ends up being 50% that Melksham's I'll be rapt. I have my doubts.

    • 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.
