Sometimes I think MFC has shares in a medical practice specialising in thoracic surgery and depression. 
 

Well my doctor is a melbourne member and said we spend a $$$$ on depression pills?

Twitter. 

I'll obviously take the word of some on here over that, so going by someone like titan, whose view on a game I trust, he gave us nothing. 

Not quite true. I generally agree with @titan_uranus on Smith in that he's not a footballer, but he actually made a number of good spoils and rebounded off his man a number of times in the first three quarters. I wouldn't have him in my team, but he probably played his best defensive game ever today.

Put the cue stick in the rack at 3rd qtr time and pulled it back out for the last 5 mins.

Thanks again to the AFL for making us play 15 games straight without a bye and scheduling 2 games cramned in Cairns in abhorrent conditions.

Wouldn't happen to a Geelong, Collingwood, Carlton, Richmond would it. 

Phark you'se where it hurts.

Mitch brown 20 disposals and 13 marks..  this is the guy who was out of the side all season when we have been crying out for a big forward.

Our selection committee is pure rubbish.

It could be worse. You could be Essendon watching a player they delisted play like that against them.

 

Want trouble any side playing finals with fade outs like that to a bottom side once again.. same old issues & Goodwin can’t fix them... our fwd structures not working & can’t take a mark vs a bottom side taking marks & scoring, Weiderman goalless 4 games in a row

Melksham nowhere. What is his role? What happened since 2018?? Very lazy

Really needs to be addressed Im afraid.

To think the bloke was given a captains birth in one game.

Had more chances than Tmac.

Don't leave out his perfect hand pass to the Essendon player in that last quarter.

We need a Power Forward desperately.

As many problems as Hogan had he was a Powerhouse in the forward line who took all the pressure off by crashing packs and taking clunk marks.

Eddie McGuire has to be the worst commentator of all time.

His job is to call the play.

Instead we get a combination of cheering for the underdog, umpire bashing, expert analysis, lame Collingwood references, and snide remarks to an entire supporter base. Every time he's on.

He can [censored] right off.

You can add in self congratulation

If Freo get up I hope we bring Jackson in to provide some X-factor and a foil for Weideman up forward.

It'd be great too to see May play his first ever final.

Our second tier players  in Hunt, ANB, Brown, and the youngy's in Rivers and Kossi  kept us in it.

Petrac, Clarry, , Langdon and Gawn   stood up as usual.  However  Lever had a great game IMO he steadied the ship all day.  Held the backline together while May was his usual best defending stoutly.

thats self flagulation


That really was The Salem that we all loved.

Made a big difference.

I think he and Jetta not like they used to be has been a big difference since 2018.

Them and Hogan, Tmac and Garlett  scoring a bag load of goals.

On the positive we now have AA  May, Langdon, young and young Rivers.

Fix Frittas kicking and pick up a proven 40 plus goaler and we could be in business next season.

As I said, I wouldn't have him in my team, but I don't think it's fair to say he didn't do his job in the first three quarters. For the most part, he did.

If we make finals Weideman should be dropped for LJ.

 

so SAY we qualify and play away to Weagles

Smith stays in due to their height unless we role the ball on Hore?

vandenberg makes way for Harmes who trains the house down?

ANB makes way for the Jones fairytail?

Melky did not do enough to keep out Jackson to match their aerial power?

theyre the calls we have to make

It was a decent win in a must-win game.  Essendon have talent and they've gone 12-10 the last 3 years.  Notable that we've gone 6-4 since the compressed fixture while they've gone 1-1-8.  They were going to get momentum at some stage and to play the all out attack they needed gave us opportunities out the back which we took.  We won 68-49.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
