Nearly 10 minutes in, any other team playing the bombers right now id say the floodgates were about to open.

We're very much the better team atm..

No excuses today!

Just realised its not live into Melbourne..

Good 1st quater for once..

Bruce puts in a candidate for goal of the year..

I'll say no more..

Enjoy.

This 3AW commentary is a disgrace. You wouldn't know we were even on the park. I'm surprised the Demons aren't being called "the opposition".

Robert Walls is the worst offender, just blurting out "we're back in this!" on the Bombers comeback in the 3rd quarter. What a nonce.

'"We're"'......seriously?

He does remember he's a Carlton man right?!!!

That's what confused me as well, but apparently he supported the Dons as a kid. He's only gotten worse as the game has progressed. Disappointment whenever Melbourne score and pure elation when Essendon score.

Jurrah competes for the mark from behind forces the spoil,Crumbs his own ball then a bad handpass to the oposition. He thens runs the opponent down and wins the free ,then kicks to Bate . GOAL. how good was that ! Welcome back.

Great win..disappointing that they allowed them to kick the last 3 or 4.

I think it was the last 6 of 7 ... could have been, should have been, a 10 goal win. Very lax, and very disappointing.

I'm not sure exactly how bad Essendon are - nor do I know how good we are.

Given normal inconsistencies, our next four games may be indicative: Fremantle (in WA); Sydney (MCG; Brisbane (Gabba) and Richmond (MCG).

Freo at Subiaco will be a big ask but it's still a pretty good run for the next 4 fixtures. Nothing to be intimidated by. Easy to get swept up in the Tigers hype but I still think we have their number. Fremantle lost that match last night rather than them winning it.

Good win boys!

Watts must be a good basketballer....

Post fail.

Watts was good and showed some seriously exciting glimpses, but the victory was pretty hollow.

The last quarter ruined what was a good game otherwise.

Maybe one day we'll win 4 quarter

Bouquets and Brickbats witht the prior much more the important:) great win and was nearly on course for my desired 60 pointer !!! :)) and this is where they fell down they let them bak in and JUST managed at times to keep the door shut.

Wont be picky too much ..its a win and we needed it :))) Good to put under their belt and learn :)

hhhmmmm not trying to start trouble JD but I thought he was average at best. He needs to lift is intensity levels and focus. He shows some glimpses of real class and quality but needs to lift the intensity.

Looking fwd to seeing him develop further with Green, Jurrah, Bate and hopefully Wonna for us to have a really potent fwd structure.

Allowing them to kick 6 of the last 7 was a disgrace.

A real let down on what would have been a great thrashing of the Scum. I sadly remember them coming back from 48 pts down in the LAST quarter to beat us so a chance to bury them has gone begging. Very poor.

When the heat was on we were clearly the better side on the park. But there clearances were a big concern for mine.

Says it all. The umpires gave us half a dozen goals, they played appallingly at times, and couldn't kick straight all day. Had any one of those three things gone the other way, we'd have lost I reckon.

Yeah, see, now you're getting a case of the rose-coloured glasses again. Watts kicked one goal from a non-free. He made ok position a few times, maybe laid a tackle or two that were ok, but he was beaten on the day. Not humiliated, certainly, but beaten. One thing he certainly wasn't, was "good."

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
