peptides look like us; get ball, bomb ball, turnover ball, stand still, see ball go whizzing past you at the rate of knots

unlike us they have a litany of injuries to their best 22

    Losing last night was a disaster. An Essendon loss is a nice consellation prize.

    The only thing we have to look forward this weekend is potentially watching Essendrug and the filth lose.

    You know they lost their last 4 in rather pathetic fashion?

    Sure, a fightback tonight was good for them, but they're old and experienced and should be contending for top 4, not trying to escape the bottom 4.

    I know the history 

    They were 5 goals to 0 and then completely obliterated Carlt. not many teams can change gears like that mid game. 
     

    Clarkson is still the one to chase....

    Thinking the exact same thing, I can't help but feel that the game in hand could end up being both clubs chances to scrape into finals.

    Ess and Bris is a waste of time watching but I will have to say that the umpiring is to put it mildly perplexing. In reality it is a disgrace.

    Cue "discussion" of Us v Lions = 1 goal, Bombers v Lions 10 goals?...

    Oh well watching the bummers get smashed has cheered me up a little. They lost a lot of %. Ha Ha.

    I know we can't really talk but Charlie cameron kicked more goals than the whole essendon team combined. That was Worsfold's lowest score ever in his coaching career.

    Puts paid to the hard to come up after such a tough game in the wet/damp theory.

    Would like to play Essendon after their Darwin game... Alice perhaps

    Very very minimal consolation is that EssUndone got beaten by more than we did, with an even more pathetic score.  
     

    Must be grateful for tiny mercies.

    Early in the second (I think) Shiel not only gets tackled high, he gets tackled to the ground when not in possession of the ball. The umpire was only 2 metres away right behind the action with perfect view and calls play on. FMD, as much as I loathe the peptides, pathetic umpiring riles me more.

    And here's the stat to back up your statement above.... 

    Brisbane 22 scoring shots from 37 i50 entries. (60%...must be close to a record) 

    Essendon 16 from 42.

    I think they've copied our game plan!

    Essendon were pathetic but did have a few guns missing from their best 22 as opposed to us who had 0.5 of our best 22 missing (Not sure if VDB is genuine best 22)
     

    We need to cop it from the media and own up to it internally. It was a disgraceful performance Vs Port.

    As much as I despise the Peptides, the decisions against them against Brisvegas were mindboggling. I.e. amongst others, the Andrew McGrath holding the ball decision in front of goal, the allowing one player to hand the ball to another from beyond the boundary for a shot at goal (that may have been the worst as it was a disregard of the actual rules of the game) and Shiel being grabbed around the neck clearly during a stoppage. There were several others.

    Wouldn't have changed the outcome but the umpiring was clearly advantageous to Brisbane. Probably the worst umpiring for the season and that's saying something.

    Having Jones playing is like fielding 17 men and a witches hat. No other team plays a player as slow, plodding, unaccountable and past it as Jones is on a wing or anywhere else. No way in best 22.

    How many games in a row did Neeld lose in his first season before his first win?

    I don't want to see Nicks cop heat but his team is stuck on the bottom & losing to the team above them by 46 points

      The Demons head to the Red Centre to face St Kilda in Alice Springs, aiming for a third straight win to keep their push for a Top 8 spot alive. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
