May. First game back

Langdon Back to wing

Viney Needs tough coach

Bit harsh on Bowey and Langdon Joeboy. I thought they were clearly our best two.

Problem is .... you're both right...

They might have been our best.... but they were quite ineffective in the greater scheme of things.


Bowey was our best.

Good summary per usual JB.

You mentioned the very few God efforts so it's nice to see some positives.

Jvr had gone so far backwards and having an anti break out year. More like a breakdown year.

But we are in serious trouble with marque players serving up some of that.

Fritta is really on the fritz.

And yes Sparrow just keeps plodding along. For five or six years now. Surely after all this time and little effort we can play someone else.

Petty now failing in his old role as well.

May gets a mulligan in his first game.

Billings should be billed half his salary back.

And I love Rivers but he's caught the I've forgotten how to play big as well.

I thought Salo was your only error.

Max...I just love the bloke too much to criticize but suffice to say he's had always been a barometer of the club each game.

Milkshake will be back. See May.( Mulligan,)

And young Lindsay is just heartbreaking for the kid.

But again it's the big names with big salaries and experience that sem to be the issue.

Goody...Check your contract

100% agreement joe boy.

Agreed geriatric Dee.

Sorry I've probably taken that way too far.

You can spell the last word in my username with B of it makes you feel better.

But JB was pretty dope on.

My only detractions would be Salem and Fritta. The latter just a little because he certainly improved and got his hands on the more and increased his tackle count of only two to a lot more from his previous ones of zip. The only issue being his once very realable kicking at goal has kicked the bucket.

Perhaps a sequel of Daniel Day Lewis's film of "My left foot."... to 'My inaccurate foot."

But the team as a whole was atrocious. I forced myself to watch as much of the replay I could physically stomach and it looked worse

It really seemed like a training.match with a team with no games under their belt v a team that had a dozen.

Constant unforced skill errors , terrible accuracy by foot, endless handballs missing their targets and fumbles galore.

And the main problem being this was mostly being done by our more " seasoned players". In fact many of these highly paid veterans looked more clumsy with the ball than a high school boy fiddling with his Beau's undergarments in the back of his 60 Chevy.

  • 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.
