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!

    • 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.
