Essendon has a better chance of playing finals than Melbourne

This is the same Jon Ralph that was swearing black & blue on SEN that Goodwin would be coaching Adelaide, whilst at that very same moment we were announcing that Goodwin will be our coach in waiting.

As i recall, it was John Ralph's revealing his "exclusive info" that prevented SEN from telecasting the Goodwin/Melbourne press conference.

The bloke is a muppet.

    Living in Perth, I sometimes miss the Victorian radio and the extra AFL coverage that the Perth stations fail to provide.

    But not on this occasion.

    If we loose to Essendon this year the leadership group as a whole should be removed along with Jones as captain. No this is not an exaggeration, again they are kids and players dragged out of retirement.

    If that was the case it should've happened last year.
    After both games.

    Probably when Bailey was in charge.
    Neelds or Roos/Lyons game plan won't allow it.

    I labelled once before SEN as bogan radio - I rest my case. How these journalists are paid to talk such crap boggles my mind.

     

    And the saddest part is he probably gets paid a shltload for being so bad.

    Like seriously put away a side that we are supposed to ....then the last time i can think of was Carlton in 2004 beating them by over 100 points . Hope we one day rediscover that kind of winning mentality,  hopefully in Rd 2

    I just hope Melbourne can give Essendrug a 148 point belting like they did too us in 2013!

    You can lock that one in.

    We totally fall to pieces the rare occasion the TAB opens us up as favourites.

    Not sure why people are getting all upset, and throwing up things that Ralph has said in the past. The facts are that we are still a long way off being a finals contender, amd he is right to include us in his list. Maybe fanciful of him to not include Essendon, but that should be of no concern to us.

    We haven't earnt the respect of the football media, and until we start winning games, comments like this from Ralph will be common place.

    We will beat EFC this season, put it in the bank...

    The best wins in the past few years were last year's v Dogs and Cats - very satisfying but hardly putting them away.

    Remind me.  Was that year 1 of "the good stuff"?   Beware - they have a new pharmacist in charge this year.

    Without doubt Ralph has said one of the most bafonic things in recent memory. On top of losing 10 (??) of their best 22 they have also traded out Melksham/Carlisle/Ryder over the past two seasons. They are a team of kids and retirees.

    Dads Army eh Aircon! But I remember Captain Manwairing, Walker and Jones all stood firm against the dreaded Hun. So you never know, even kids and pensioners can prevail if they realise the opposition, no matter how talented can be beaten because they have worked out their weakness - that is "they don't like it up em"!

    You watch the old bastards tire. None of them will play 22

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
