Amazing what an academy and father son picks get you !!! 


Still smart recruiting. No second rate scrubbers.  Neale. Cameron. Daniher. Dunkley.  Take note !!!

Absolutely Oscar McInErnery's energy in the medal presentation.

Pure goofy, loving joy.

Suspect that has been a big part of keeping the team upbeat during some rough early times.

Apparently he was very upbeat all week & didn't moan about his injury or missing out

 

Absolutely putrid grand final. Game was worse than the pre-game.

Polar opposite to Mills

That was my second life lesson, don’t whine, feel sorry for yourself or give time being negative about something that you can’t change. The Big O’s excitement during and after the game (especially for his replacement) was beautiful.

They just won the flag from 5th.

Let that settle 

And the only other team to win from outside the 4 beat …. $ydney

11 players played every game. Consistency helps. 

But they also had the depth to cover for McInerney, Coleman and McCarthy (plus Gardiner and Doedee).

Fantastic list management and fitness. Not a coincidence.

For Sydney, when the going got tough they fell apart and you’d think the scars of 2022 has something to do with that. Their tall forwards are barely better than ours and they couldn’t compete aerially against Brisbane’s defence.

All the more reason to believe that if we get some of sh*t together in terms of game plan (Bassett) is a nice inclusion, then we are right in the thick of it.

Last 2 premiers aren’t absolutely dominant like we were and other great teams before us. Brisbane are still far from invincible in spite of a flag.

Personally, enjoyed Swans get smashed... again 🥰

It's a bad movie on repeat for Sydney.

The Buffalo Bills lost 4 straight superbowls in the 90s, by the time the last one came along the loss seemed a forgone conclusion. Are Sydney too traumatised with this group?

Well the only logical conclusion from this is that our boys need to have a wild footy trip, and a poorly managed WhatsApp group.

I thought we had enough of the media bashing us up.

If ever there was a year to do it, this was it. Such an even season. Top 4 made up of seriously flawed teams.

You could argue it was the worst top 4 in years 

Watching Brisbane today made me realise how bad our skills are at times.

Brisbane just run hard for each other and create space, they don't fumble and there forward line is open & they don't get in each other's way.

Happy the Lions and Fagan but worried about them when they add Ashcroft next year

They bat so deep. Blokes like Ah Chee are their 10-15th best player and is so skilled

Could be the case if they lose another one within the next few seasons. But at the moment, I put it down to a lack of experience on the MCG and larger grounds in general. They also have a heap of flashy type players that play for themselves. 

Four lost GFs in a row

How do you even rock up to preseason?

Fans must be in pieces. But they only have themselves to blame

Blokes like Heeney Warner Gulden completely choked on the big stage


Going out in straight sets for us two years in a row.

Yep.

At least we made a fist of it.

And came very close despite injuries at umps.

Swans have no excuse.

The most lackluster effort in a granny by any club for eons.

In it for twenty minutes then went to sleep.

Going to haunt them until they lose another.

Lost

  • 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.
