What a rubbishy and boring game of footy. 
Must be time for a beer.

    Oliver's goal, again.

    Sick to death of his hot potato handballs to complete disadvantage of team mates, rather than taking responsibility himself.

    Nothing to see here though says @Dr.D

    rubbish hand ball oliver

     

    Two absolute shockers so far


    How many years will we keep wasting forward opportunities with [censored] kicking and ball use?

    I what this season to be done. I’m over watching the same [censored] every week.

    Can they actually kick the ball instead of criss crossing the ground with hand balls. Essendon wait for the mistakes.

    Good seats, ****house game. 
     

    We look lost and jogging around the ground like a training drill. Good work all round so far.

    well they are certainly not playing like a team playing for a place in the finals, and quite frankly they have done nothing to deserve to be in the finals.

    Terrible quarter. Keeping them in the game. Fritsch can't kick for [censored].

    I'd be telling Fritch to lay off the next time he marks inside 50. His kicking for goal is costing us.

    I thought Weideman had a really strong block of form in the middle of the year. He's been utterly useless in the second half of the season. He gets pushed aside by the weakest of bodying. 

    Without him taking grabs or bringing the ball to ground, our forwardline obviously doesn't function.

    Oliver's disposal by hand was shocking that quarter.

    Essendon look thoroughly ordinary. We should win easily, but we find ourselves a few points down. Hopeless.

    Frittta ??and Spargo ?misses 
     

    We are shizzzzzzzn and dumb 

    get it right and we win !!! 

     

    Every week we have heard from the commentators about Melbourne's "stars".

    Most clubs would kill for a line of Gawn Viney Oliver Petracca, throw in Salem, AVB as well. 

    We just play such one dimensional football. We aren't getting the most out of these guys.

    We're playing alright. Just not finishing our work at the moment. Not panic stations yet

    Essendon are [censored] rubbish and we are making them look bloody brilliant with our pathetic use of the football, our soft tackling (AVB aside) and a non existent game plan. 
    Nothing is more predictable than Melbourne chocking. Nothing.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
