    We moved from Hawthorn (near Auburn station) a few years ago to live in the country. It was time. We loved Melbourne for many years, and while we visit for all the great things, that’s the one regular thing I miss - having a few cold ones and jumping on the train and going to an almost empty MCG to watch a game. (Half joking with the last bit.)

    Preparation… ?!?!?!!!?!

    Simon Goodwin will coach the Dees versus the GWS Giants on Saturday night despite spending the past three nights in hospital.

    Goodwin copped an infection at the start of the week that required an intermittent IV drip.

    He was part of team meetings via Zoom during the week and discharged on Saturday morning.

    I've changed my mind, I'm coming now.. atrocious weather and replacement buses can't keep me down

    Love it.

    Who's to say you won't be the difference between a win and a loss?

    Looking at the radar I'm predicting no rain in the first half.

    And some passing showers and possile hail in the second half. 

    The planets are aligning fellow Dlanders.

    Essendon to take their rightful spot outside the 8 and us to move in.

    For good and Goody.

    Blimey.

    Whatever anyone might think about how we're travelling, it can't be argued we have had some appallingly bad luck this season.

    You could imagine it, but if you are imagining the USA you'd be wrong. Because "free speech" means that the government can't police your political views. It doesn't stop a private company (your employer) from limiting your speech.

    And fwiw he isnt compelled to sign up. As an athlete he could have chosen a range of sports to pursue, and he could choose to be paid to play in other leagues.

    And to make it worse, we aren't even talking about the AFL restricting general speech. The critiscm he made were directly of his employer. If you worked at Coles and went on a podcast and gave Coles a spray and your manager a spray and they heard it you'd get fired too.

    I typed a longish response to this but decided to not post it because it is off topic. Just to say at the very least the AFLPA should work to remove obnoxious clauses in contracts  that allow the AFL to muzzle players.  A player strike would put a rocket up the AFL's rear.

    For anyone complaining about the cold a young Indian lad who has only been in the country for a month just boarded my train wearing flip flops / thongs on his bare feet.  

    I was watching the Olympic Games opening ceremony and saw a local bloke wearing the same footwear.

    Believe it or not, his name is Phillipe Philoppe.

    • 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.
