Watching tonight's matches is more torturous than water boarding.

All 4 teams are shithouse, especially GWS. Bunch of soft, effortless, staging fools. And we will slaughter Essendon next week, they play with absolutely no pride.

    Treloar and Shiel are dominating this final quarter.

    i know what you mean rjay. But look at the dogs list. It's bog ordinary. We are improving yes but i am just a little conceerned that we are over hyping ourselves at this point.

    Monday is important to keep rising i agree.

    I hope the players aren't buying in to the over hyping 'wyl', if they are we're in for a long day on Monday.

    This is a bloke who (when fully fit) was jumping on Justin Kozitchkie's head at centre bounces. He has all the athleticism to be a fantastic footballer. I don't know why he hasn't really come on like I thought he would.

    absolutely. We have made big steps. But to over cook it would be a big hit.

    I do have confidence in Roos to balance it out.

    A very intelligent man but next to no football intelligence.

    Bombers might be without Watson for next week.

    What happened? I didn't get to watch the game

    Looks to be a hip flexor, they're reporting it as a quad but the physio was doing a lot of work on his side and he struggled to put any weight on one side of his body. Happened late in the game. Either way he will be out for a while.

    ...but, lets take it one week at a time.

    I doubt he will be right to play us in any case so that helps

    Doggies don't seem on the up to me, stagnating already.

    And it's still the same problems. No forward line. No back line. Crameri was a desperation signing and someone who thrived at Essendon with taller players around him to take the pressure off. Now he is being found out more often than not, and the famed Doggies midfield has once again no one to kick the ball to. Until they address these areas, either through free agency or the draft, they will continue to be a bottom four team.

    Watson will likely face four weeks on the sidelines.

    Myers might face the same fate but not through injury! Let's hope that we we field a full team next week.
  • Quote

    Pretty confident we'll slaughter them next week, regardless of what happens tomorrow. Essendon haven't convincingly won a game since the first 3 rounds, and with Daniher their only real forward target (who will easily be negated by TMac or Dunn), they'll really struggle to score anything. As it is they only scored what, 80, against the worst team in the comp?

    They also seem to crumble under defensive pressure, and they won't have Jobe out there to lead the way either.

  • Quote

    Bit disappointing Essendon has an 8 day break compared to our 6, but I still feel comfortable we should get up... Essendon has been giving Melbourne coaches hope since 2010 :lol:

  • Quote

    There would be more than a touch of irony if the Mark Neeld coached Demons could beat the Bombers but not the Paul Roos coached Dees.

    Roos has coached against Bomber plenty of times though, pretty confident he knows by now how to shut him down.

    Good to c Stef Martin have a good game after so many injuries.

    Good luck to him except when we play them.

    Yes DemonOx I was happy to see him in the best players.

    did not see the game.

    Had a soft spot for Stef always thought he would have come on if he had been in a decent side where he did not have to star every week.

    Hope he continues on and plays well for the Lions.

    It's interesting Gnasher. You look at Steph and would reckon he was a natural (although his overhead marking was dubious) and he did play some great footy for us. (Remember Essendrug). What is it separates blokes who appear to have all the physical attributes and yet fail to make a consistent impact from those who become players? Must be what goes on up top?

    If only you could bottle it!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
