Great mark Fritta. Also possibly the best quarter I've ever seen Chandler play.

That Spargo kick 😘.

Curtis is a worry. We haven't got a great match up for him.

 

Spanked in the middle, spanked on the outside, 6 points in front. 

I'll take it.

Christ Langford.  Had to kick that

Would have been a fair kick from Casey 😏

Bloody brave from Fritsch

Soft free to JVR. I’d be fuming the other way

Happened right in front of me. Clear free. Defender knew it straight away and threw his hands up in guilt.

 

Lucky North didn’t capitalise early in the qtr, Chin, Oliver, Rooter started well. 
things changed towards the end of the qtr, we seemed to take the game on more which is lovely to see.


Having Spargo and Salem deliver the ball inside 50 helps. Doesn't happen enough at the MCG.

Two sitters missed in the past three minutes 🤬

Interesting read in the Casey thread about our atrocious kicking for goal there today too.

A couple of people saying that there's no structured goal kicking at as part of training.

Just players having pings at goal in their own time.

A little bewildering if true.

Players with one disposal or less: Turner, Lever, Howes, and Jefferson with zero.

Really missing McVee and Windsor (amongst others of course).

That could have been a catastrophic 3 way injury to Fritta, Jeffo and Roo!

dodged a bullet.

Mistakes, poor pressure and woeful kicking for goal and we still finished the quarter ahead. 

Only need a 5% lift and we’ll blow this out of the water.

Rivers, Petracca, Gawn, Langdon all having shocking games. Four elite players who could turn up and give us a huge boost.

JVR misses a chest mark then missed one from 25m?

Terrible. He got a great block from a teammate.

Jefferson is like the baby of Watts and Weideman. Not great.

Looks hurt here, hope he's ok, but honestly subbing him out wouldn't be there worst.

Don't worry Pickett will kiss it better...

Boy I hate Demonland sometimes. 

Luckily the umpires are favouring us

Trac one contested touch and terrible kicking

We have plenty of improvement to come!

Just in case anyone forgot why Spargo is in the team and why we’ve missed him and someone like him, that pass into 50 to Langdon (?) is perfect evidence. 

Lowers the eyes, skilled, smart.

Nice pass by Salo at the end, too.

Better end to the game hopefully we run off from that. Nice to see Fritter on the board, too. 

Let’s go!!! 🔥

 


Gawn in for a hard days work with Xerri. Becoming a great ruckman and the next generation. Who will win? Love it

What was the reason for the First Quarter being so long, i can only follow scores on here today?

Yes but both take too long to get the ball moving. But agree  position kicks into F50 help

  • 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.
