Who’s missing from our best side….Petracca and Windsor a first year player. 
Is Salem best 22 anymore?

We have 14 Premiership players today.

I wonder what the record is for most Premiership team players in a team to lose by 10+ goals.

    We should trade Salem to be honest.

    I'm glad so many of you can switch over to the Olympics, I'm stuck with this.

    He won’t get you more than a third rounder.

    Apart from losing contested possession, we are leaving 1 or 2 Dogs players 2 handballs wide of the contest, and then missing most tackles when they press through. Or they go around us. 

    Lever - you have a player, defend him every so often.

    May & TMac - doing a power of work.

    Bont is a star.

    I'm starting to worry about players including Salem, May, Fritta, Lever, Kozzie, Oliver and even Viney.

    Players who should be at the height of their powers yet here we are.

    Clearly the premiership window isn't closed....looks like it's been bricked over.

    This team is not even a ghost of that Premiership team. They should be ashamed of themselves, or just raise their hands as say 'I am not good enough atm'.

    Not sure what we’d get much and to who?

    Yes I’m open to it.

    How many tackles has Oliver missed? 

    Has anyone laid a tackle? I can’t remember one. 

    Seems Yze was the coaching mastermind behind our success. Came in as midfield coach and won a flag with top four years running. Since Mcqualter took over this year we've been rat****. Our stoppage work and lack of clearances recently have been the worst in memory, worse than the Neeld years somehow.

    So be it. He can't contribute anymore and is injury prone.

    Thanks for your service Salo.

    I’m changing my mind every 5 mins with reload or rebuild.

    Premise being reload what? a super soaker? 

    Yeah same here Gawndy. But when you look at how bad Casey are travelling it’s looking a bit grim. 

    only 4 goals down.

    if we could just stem this flow and breakeven this quarter they might tire in the second half

    i'm probably dreaming but they are coming off a 5 day break

    90% of Clarry's disposals this year have been dump kicks or hospital handballs to teammates under pressure

    Not to mention second efforts result in holding the ball.

    North or West Coast I guess.

    Somehow they found a way to load up with spuds who are at Casey’s for a team  in a premiership window, it’s as  if they wanted to push this team off the clif with the dumbest trades and boot out an  All Australian ruckman in Grundy & watch Gawn play on 1 leg … it’s a comedy show & amateur hour from our coaches & recruiters

    • 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.
