Watching Howe trudge off the ground looking forlornly at the scoreboard. Warms the heart.

I personally found watching the bitter tears falling like gentle rain from the eyes of the Essendon faithful after the siren the other day much more enjoyable. So many delusional  flogs in so much pain !!!! 

It was a beautiful thing!!

    I see that the hopeless player that the pies gave to North for nothing was Norths best player with I think 29 disposals. Were you watching Bucks would have been useful at the weekend.

    The footy has been terrific & easy on the eye.  Managed to watch 2 full games and the 2nd half of 2 others

    The new rule (man on the mark) has changed the way the coaches are framing their game plans (far more attacking) ... the carrot has been tangled and teams are responding

    Of course it is early doors but we're already seeing a better balance ... decades ago most I knew and spoke to thought that 24 - 30 goals in a game was about the right number

    I initially thought that having the man on the mark standing still sounded quite silly but it seems to be working with regards to less of a defensive intent by the coaches

    Good Key forwards can have a bigger impact as a consequence (if there are lots more 'Faster' attacking forays)

    We need to get a fit & firing Ben Brown into our team asap

    Paying $50 for someone to burn Essendon jumpers seems fair. I'd do for nothing.

    At least he's managed to see a premiership in that time. Still the count up of days without a finals win is pretty damn hilarious!

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
