Commentators on radio just described the Essendon-Hawks scoreline (Essendon now 23 behind) as "respectable but it's still sort of not".

This is sweet sweet fruit - teams repeatedly not respecting Essendon to the point of taking their foot off the pedal, all while giving Essendon an illusion of competitiveness to the superficial look back on the season.

May they rot slowly and all over.

The druggies are very very ship, Joe still can't kick for goal  even with no pressure, the league has gone backwards this year..

From Bomberblitz.... I get a wonderful warm feeling from this post:

Neeld’s strategy.

“Of seven defensive 50 chains in the second term, the Bombers have not converted any to an inside 50”. This.

Our lack of forward pressure and inability to trap the ball inside our fwd 50 and score from forward stoppages (Caracella blueprint) is a massive concern for mine.

At this time they are only down by one goal

I suppose that playing on Mars (Nth Ballarat) is better than Darwin but it's a strange move by Footscray.

Anybody have an idea of the financials??

My mate, a Bulldogs member, filthy that his ticket didn't gain him entry to Mars. It appears that the only supporters who didn't have to pay at the gate were Bulldog supporters who purchased 2-game membership 'packages'. To be entitled to get those you had to reside in particular towns within a 10 km radius of Ballarat.

We've been hearing the strange roaring noise for a while but this seems to be the year where we're going over the waterfall.

I saw Dangerfield last night, from not far out from goal, kick a banana on his preferred foot because he was on the near side, ie, the angle didn't suit his non preferred foot.

This is a star of the game, supposedly one of the current gems.

The same ilk of star of yesteryear, eg Robbie, Greg Williams, Garry Wilson, Daicos, Buckley, Black ... would have slotted it or at least taken the kick no probs, on their non preferred because the angle and flight of the ball suited it better.

But no ...  the modern star of the game won't risk it because he doesn't trust his skill.

We routinely see guys from 30 out or closer stand sideways and kick a banana because a STRAIGHT KICK is too hard???

Lol I tipped bombers I thought they would be fired up, got sucked in big time 

Don’t feel too bad, I had a small multi containing the bulldogs, I cashed it out losing a qtr of my initial wager fearing I could lose the lot.

Port look like absolute rubbish. They play dumb handball at any cost far too often. Recruiting Motlop and Watts starting to show.

Port have a few players that look like Watts from a distance. 

But then they tackle and you know it’s not him.

9 Eagle free kicks to 3, no wonder they're so hard to beat in Perth

 

Why can’t teams play in Perth?  The WCE have a dream draw so far!  When do they play outside the border of WA!  I cannot Believe where they sit on the ladder, simply not that good a team.  More road travel in weeks to come may sort them out.  As for other teams playing in Perth,  the ground is new, so no excuses!

Love seeing the Essendruggo  supporters SUFFER.

    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.
