Great win by the Bombers undermanned and on the road

Adelaide are a joke of a team, seem to have all the pieces but something's missing. Just never trust then to win a competitive game.

    Our constant injury excuse wears a bit thin when you see an undermanned Essendon missing high quality players, win a game in hostile territory.

    Or maybe sides like Collingwood and Essendon (who can win with numerous injuries) have far better depth than us.

    Nailed it. Their outs would be equivalent to ours however find a way to turn a 5 goal deficit into a 3 1/2 goal win.

    Also for those that bag our skippers need to have a look at what I consider the worst captain in the game in Walker. He went missing in that GF and again tonight. If I was the Crows I would look to get rid of him pronto. Going gets tough and he plays in the stands.

    Absolutely. The MFC do not work hard enough at a constant level

    We hide behind excuses so many times, rather than just get down and do it. 

    Essendrug are a top 4 chance now. 

    We are nowhere....

    peptides' workrate is enormous

    they don't give up and they keep fighting at the moment - they're on a run not too dissimilar to that which we had last year

    as a football side they play a brand of footy that is entertaining to watch

    When your allowed to run further with the ball, throw the ball and maggots look the other way , run out of bounce continuously and play on, acceptably kick ten metres, run over the mark continuously without stopping....... and the other Team isn't, who cares how many free kicks are paid.......Most of maggots barrack for same team anyway.

    It's okay. We're working hard. At least we get pick 2? That's the message around here...

    Once the round is over though and WC have given us a football lesson, the pressure gauge will turn up on Goodwin. 17th with 5 rounds to go. No where to hide anymore. Let's see what excuses are thrown out now.

    I see Tex did what Tex does best....................... a whole lot of nothing!

    The next coach in line to go has to be Don Pyke.  As DD has pointed out, their captain does absolutely nothing, but so does their coach. 

    Remember the Alice Springs game last year?  All he did was stare at the players.  

    Not a single move made by him from the 2nd quarter against the Bombers.  No tag on Stringer.  No-one on Tipungwuti.  How many unmarked Essendon forwards got easy marks and kicks in their forward 50...Brown, Heppell etc.

    Sickening that we're below carltank on the ladder.

    Seriously walking out of the final against hawthorn after the game all happy and excited, if someone told you then that in july next year you will be 17th on the ladder and Carlton would be above you you would never ever have believed it.

    We should have beaten Adelaide by 4 - 5 goals.

    We thrashed both of them at VFL level by more than 60 points but for reasons I cannot fathom very few of our VFL players take the next step.

    Hey does this mean if we finish bottom 3 or 4 we will get a soft draw next year?

    Yes, and Noah Anderson to go with it.

    Yes.

    They categorise the draw according to a 1-6, 7-12, 13-18 finish.

    Injuries have definitely been a factor but 17th on the ladder is beyond injuries. Absolute disgrace for everyone connected with the club. Excuses have been flying but seriously it beyond comprehension. Can anyone believe the last rebuild has been nothing but a complete con job yet no ramifications for anyone.

    That's why I'm not fussed with Carlton overtaking us today. If this seasons going to be bad it might as well be truly shizen. Regroup over preseason with players ready to go on day 1, with the number 2 pick and an easier draw.

    Yes. West Coast have done it a few times.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • 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.
