Goddard - anyone?  It’s not beyond reality. He is still very good. 

I’d rather keep Bernie on

    Not for us, but Carlton or GWS would be mad not to pick him up for a year.

    God, I hope he gets another contract.

     

    Imagine all the nuffies on here calling for us to recruit him as a delisted free agent if he doesn’t!

    signed up for the next 2 years, signed for 3 when he joined Port

    Poor old Watts. Would be lucky to get a game at Casey the way he is playing. Looks to be totally uninterested in going anywhere near the ball unless it lands in his lap. Doubt he’ll get another contract. 

    It's sad because he was playing great footy for us midway through last year. He was a Melbourne player and our GWH number 1 draft pick (albeit several years on from that). Now that he's at port, he's neither and has no motivation or identity whatsoever.

    After years of being in the spotlight, it's almost as if he's trying to have as little impact on his new team as possible.

    Me too.

    Finally, Viney would get to play them in 2018.

    I actually feel sorry for the poor lad that has to line up on viney in finals round 1. 

    Itll be like unleashing  a caged animal, add finals to the mix, he will be [censored] terrifying.

    Ridiculous.  It’s Wines v Toumpas as the comparison. 

    Brayshaw is a champion. And so is Ollie Wines. 

    It has nothing to do with comparison. [censored] the comparison off for once.

    Slow and has butchered it terribly the times I've watched him this year. 

    Go on Ports board and they say the same thing.

    He just looks lost.. mentally checked out big time.

    Wattsy looks like he is trying but not in any sort of form.  Sad. 

    I've only watched port a few times this year and he has been putrid. 

    Sadley I think he is on his last contact.

    They’d love that wouldn’t they!

    In all seriousness I think he can. Always next season, still got a bit to play out.

    Why are the commentators praising Jake Stringer and his subpar return of 30 goals for the season?

    Ablett is scared of him.  He ruined his shoulder for over a season.

    He won't sleep the night before.

    Duck gave the Package a C+ grading, is that good?

    Stringer is a total joke in the ruck. They'd be better with Tipper in there.

    Essendon blowing a 40+  point lead in the last game of the season would be great, especially the way the moron commentators have been worshiping them all night.

    I’d tuned out, the way they were talking it was a 10 goal margin. Until I looked up and they were 3 goals down.

    Actually I think everything he has done tonight has been OK. All his disposals have been clean and have gone to a player in a better position. Not a game changing performance by any means but not woeful.

    How many times are we going to hear Essendon is the best team out of the 8? Who cares? 

    For what it’s worth I say Brisbane is.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
