    Brisbane are a very young side, prob the same amount of youngsters we do, the difference is they have champions binding their team together

    My thoughts....

    We are so bad at clearances it is sickening.

    Teams do their scouting against us. Let Ward, Brown or Godfrey take possession, because they won't hurt you with their disposal.

    Is Brad Miller's time up???

    Either we don't work hard enough, or brisbane are exceptional at staying on our hammer defensively when we push up the wing, and conversely they are leaving our guys in their wake they push up.

    Aaron Davey may need a spell at Sandy for disciplinary reasons.

    What's that line Malthouse uses? It's not who is out, but who is playing and what they can do. We need to adopt that attitude.

    When you have Lappin, Brown, Black and Power in your side, you are always a chance.

    When your best/ most decorated players on the ground are White and Robbo, you're in trouble!

    Mind you, even with Neita, Bruce, TJ and Green, we'd still struggle.

    malthouse is right, we have a team out there, they can atleast man up, brisbane are not that much better than us.

    miller could not stop brown early on and i dont know who could have?

    daveys punch was too the stomach not the balls. clearly from the replay. and while i wont say he is allowed to punch a player the bloke he punched was pushing and pulling him by the shirt while they were off the ball, and had been doing it since the first bounce. i don't understand why the free wasnt reversed however when the player came through and cleaned him up. also why didnt godfrey get a free when struck to the head behind play?

    dunstall is an idiot. i cant remember his commentating from another time but saying things like 'godfrey deserved it, taggers are scum' doesnt warm my heart, or prove that he has any brains. we got 1 free kick in the first, and 1 or 2 in the second. we are getting smashed, and this compounds it. the commentators are ridiculously one sided brisbane.

    mcdonald is captain, and playing alright, getting a bit of the pill. chook is our best atm closely followed by white dunn, and chunky. unfortunately none of those three are in the best 10 on ground.

    dunn is impressing me more and more. good kick on him and he is going in hard. ward as usual is going in hard but his disposal is pathetic.

    that isnt helped by our midfield which is getting spanked. we are not making space, we are not presenting, this makes choosing options very hard indeed. we are falling down across the HF/wing line with no one presenting. when we do get it there the forward structure is killed by brisbane players dropping back. we're not moving the ball on quick enough to use free space. brisbane are doing a great job of keeping their midfielders out of the way. they are obviously using their half forwards as the target across half forward leaving the forward line open for brown and co. the mids are then setting up outside the 50 to keep it in. similarly when we go forward, their mids drift back to block that space. is it because our mids are going in there too? once again (like the richmond game), brisbane have numbers on the opposite wing allowing a quick change of ends (and once again more space for the forwards). is this due to loose men? i don't think so, i think it is due to our unaccountability, but more for after the game.

    I'm really starting to think about Davey in the future after another stupid act on the field.

    Flash, either fix your temper or find a new club.

    GREAT GOAL BY DAVEY!

    cj has lifted, davey has too, seems to have his mind on the job, we are doing well around the ground but need to get a few more goals before 3/4 time

    There is the difference, jon brown throws his body at the ball at CHB and ward tries to toe poke it and J brown wins the ball and they take it up the other end for a goal.

    Ward needed to put his body on the line and didnt.

    Only a 29 point deficit. It isn't impossible.

    All that hard work and Brisbane get a quick break and goal. Brown is definitely murdering us even though Carroll has done a better effort than Miller did (midfield dominance didn't help Brad though)

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
