*sigh* 

Sadly, entirely true. 

But we have 2 of the top 5 best contested players in the comp in the same midfield, just need the outside polish to finish off the good work.

    What stood out most of all with Xavier was his vision and ultra quick release.  Amazing for a first gamer

    And that's not the sort of thing you do and then not do.  We've got a lot to look forward to with this lad

    Windsor and this bloke off half back will pay big dividends after they have played 50 games together.

    Your 50 games late it’s now they start to pay dividends more to come but both won’t be hb flankers all their careers.

    Having so many fwds ranked as they are in Chandler, Roo, Fritta and Jeffo not great. Well I give Jeffo more points and he scored twice as many goals as the other three combined.

    Windsor is just so polished. A delight to watch. And cool under pressure. 

    No matter where he gets the ball, it's like he's seeing things slow like that scene in the Matrix.

    About time we took a gippsland lad

    I was kind of hoping we took the gippsland trio of tauru, Lindsay and mentha , 2 out of three ain't bad 

    We should try and get our hands on more gippsland players like C serong, B humphries , Z duursma, T Papley, J Newcomb

    Lindsay looks like a great pick up and I’m feeling good about my sneaky wager I e got on him for the Rising Star award 

    But let’s just stick to best available rather than focusing on Gippsland only 😀

    I know the discussion around trading our first pick to the Bombers will come up, but even if it is a high pick I’m still comfortable with it. I genuinely believe he’s been the best performed draftee so far the first two rounds. He’s a gun player and probably could’ve been a top 5 pick in a normal draft year.

    And if Kalani White is any good, we'll get him for a second rounder...

    That’s why he should play in the CENTRE While he won’t solve ALL the problems his pace and kicking and skills will help the connectivity with the forward line,

    I was sold on him very early in the game after he'd put on 2 very clever shepherds to clear a path for a teammate. How many others do we have with those smarts?

    The rest of his game was a bonus, an enormous bonus.

    I agree , maybe he could teach a few of his teamates because it seems to me like they are not doing enough to protect the ball carrier.

    It’s a testament to him that he looked our most composed and skilful player on the weekend while also having the highest pressure rating

    Unfortunately it’s also equally as damning that our 10+ year veterans don’t seem to have the skill and polish of a two gamer 

    Anyway, he’s going to be an absolute gun for us, so who cares that the Bombers have our first round pick!

    agreed he does look a top 5 pick. Classy but Ive also been surprised by his toughness in the clinches. ultra competitive when the ball is in dispute.

    It's actually embarrassing to some of our senior players that he looks one of the most composed on the ground for us at the moment...

    Tx 58er. Although do you think he is strong enough and has the right body type to succeed as a classic in and under ball getter?

    I see him more as a wing type player.

    • 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.

      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.
