X 2 Luci.

I’d rather spend the next two hours on DL looking for a laugh and some quality analysis.

My hate for Essendon runs deep, much much deeper than my hate for Collingwood – which is actually really deep itself so that shows you the situation I’m in with Essendon.

Tear them apart Maggies.

 

Maggots umpiring both their most favoured clubs. Made them confused  and making horrible decisions for both sides. 


Pendlebury is the best captain in the AFL. Never makes a bad decision with ball in hand and directs the Pies midfield extremely well. 

Horrific umpiring in what was a good contest. Even the last shot at goal, free kick paid with 1.05 left and doesn't start his approach until there is only 28 seconds left.

Jeremy Howe is a better player than Jake Lever.

 

How feral are the Essendon supporters. Good on Buckley for subtly pointing out their poor sportsmanship.

Colonwood scored 2 goals after quarter time. 2 to 7 and fell over the line.  Sounds like the demons somewhat...

Geez the bombers fans went nuts, I think it was more frustration about the umpiring, just on that the umpiring this year has made our great game unwatchable, I have gone from watching most games to watching none as it just frustrates me

Unlike our crew!

Dylan Shiel makes Cale Morton look very brave!

They are full of it, hope they don't ever win a flag again. ?

Buckley was brilliant in reminding bogan scum not to be bogan scum. But they won't get it.

Geelong and Bulldogs say hi.

I side with the druggies supporters for the first time ever.   The umpiring was terrible, they gifted Collingwood the game.

Buckley is pretty switched on and great to listen to when he talks footy and also delicate topics.

That’s what I thought too. Bombers fans were ultra pist about the pathetic umpiring decisions that most definitely snuffed out any chance they had of winning. 

Unfortunately Pendles copped it. Wouldn’t have mattered which Pies player won the medal they all would’ve been canned and booed. 

 

Much ado about nothing, as usual.

The guy was best on ground easily, has nothing to do with umpiring. Since when did we start booing winners, seriously. F off Essendon. Geelong do it on a weekly basis to, even to their own, so un-Australian.

It will be interesting to see what happens to Ablett in the next game away from Geelong.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
