That is actually crazy! Wonder how many after the siren shots to win we have missed over the years? It was only last year Weid missed against Adelaide for one.

Melbourne have lost 6 after the siren though

Yep 2005 round 21 vs Bulldogs.

Leoncelli in 2001 Vs Adelaide was probably a second left on the clock.

And that Leoncelli goal came about thanks to one of the all time great ruck 'punches' from The Ox!

Yeah I reckon the McKenna thing might work in our favour to a degree. Essendon May have beaten us a month or two ago but they are rooted now

Agreed. I think they AFL had tried to be dramatic and made it the last game of the year as it could have potentially been a game for the last spot in the 8. They'll be 15th by the time we get to them


Love watching the bombers crumble.

Doggies and Saints the next 2 weeks will not be easy games. Doggies looked good today.

The saints are by far the most inconsistant side in the comp.

Weid missing after the siren against the Crows last year in the NT.

 

 

Not to nit pick but that wasn’t after the siren. Much like Big Max vs Cats in the 2018 it was essentially the last kick of the game.

Watching Channel 7 cover this Essendon game proves how biased the media coverage of the AFL is. If Melbourne, the Saints, North or the Dogs has delivered up a spineless half like that they would be (rightly) nailed to the cross. Instead they keep trying to barrack for them to come back into the contest.

At this rate they're going to prove it all in one game.

Hoping for a small win to the Saints.  Will keep their %'age in check.

%'age doesn't matter for Ess as they have the draw to protect their position unless they in a battle with Coll to make the 8!

I just walked in to the Saints v Bum holes.  Ess kicked the ball back and forth like they were protecting a lead.  I was surprised to see them 20 point behind half way through the third.  They turned it over for a goal.  Absolute rabble

Jeff White is probably the closest we have had. I thought the old Smokers Stand was going to collapse that night. 
Everybody went nuts!!

This subject always brings one name to my mind. I hate to drive you to the hard booze cupboard SWYL but think ....... Simon Eishold.


The last 2 St Kilda goals should be enough to tip Bruce out of the Bombers’ canoe.

Essendon are garbage.

They've got Hawthorn, us, and the top 4 in their remaining fixture. 

The would have to improve tenfold to make the finals from here with that fixture.

St Kilda, the Dogs, GWS, Collingwood and us are battling for the three spots at 5-8. St Kilda the clear frontrunner given they'll be 8-4 after today, but they still have to play us, Brisbane, West Coast and GWS.

Carlton a smoky to challenge.

So was I with my hawk supporter sister who was expecting too

only satisfaction was hawthorn was smashed by blues who had week off  in 35c heat. 

Saints haven’t made finals for 9 years? Jesus

they dropped off a cliff after the GF

 

What a boring game of football Ess v StK was. Chip kick the ball 25 times around your back half, then kick it down field only to have it marked by your opposition. Rinse and repeat.

Three goals each in a half of footy.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
