West Coast are just no good away from home. Makes you think if the prelim in 2018 was played at the MCG.

WC could end up 5th... with us at 8th

Guess where the match would be played

    I wouldn't be overly concerned. We won't finish in the 8.

    Hated Ess winning. 

    But a great example of how a coach can totally turn a game by a positional change (Hooker fwd took McElvoy out of the game) and made a few tweaks on ball movement from stoppages.  Their intensity went up and Hawks couldn't get the ball.  11.5 to Hawks 3.1 in the second half.

    It's going to be a messy draft. But if the first round overnight split is retained then the value of early second round picks significantly rises. I was cheering on Essendon.

    Did anyone else notice Hooker squibbing it when a high one came in,and he didn’t realise he was by himself, ducked his head and missed an easy mark?    He was so lucky, because he chased it and a contrary bounce came back to him, and he was able to pass off to in front of goal.

    It was so like watching Melbourne last night.

    Hawthorn missed at least  5 sitters in the first half. Should have been unassailable at halftime. Essendon kept just in it by accurate kicking.

    Early goal in the third to Essendon, so they lift, and Hawthorn panic.

    The sides I’m barracking for always kick crookedly, and their opponents can’t miss!  At one stage ESS were 14:3, with the three behinds all rushed!

    Good old diamond Joe. I forgot about him and his red and blue Kippah. ?

    Not good for our chances but Doggies putting Cats away in first ten mins does make me feel mildly better about last week.

    I’d say we got the Doggies in the middle of a hot streak for them.

    They’ll likely cool off later in the season or in finals.

    Forget finals dogs will win more games along with pies ... just another failed season going into our 6th decade of failure

    I love the way Naughton plays. Don't care what jumper he is in (although I would love him at the Dees), he makes me watch.

    If anything, that first term shows how good Steven May is.  Naughton has looked sensational in that first term, and he didn't get a sniff last week.

    Doggies win tonight nearly closes the door on our finals chances.

    We need to win 4 of the next 5 to make it. 3 from 5 might scrape us in. Can’t see it happening unfortunately.

    What an amazing tactic.  
    Is that legal?

    Or you could look at it more positively and say we were no worse than Geelong with the dogs kicking 6 in a row

    Pies could well drop out with their injury list, they’re our chance. Dogs are better than what people have them credit for and are setting themselves up nicely for a tilt.

    They still have played one more game than us and we have the superior % so long as we win as many games as they do we still finish ahead of them

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
