As much as I despise Essendon they have been shafted badly by the umpires.

Agreed on both counts. Pains me to admit it but they got reamed.

That was my first look at the scum this season. They won’t be an easy 4 points.

    So we will have another week of sydney being put on a pedastool by the media. Them and Carlton are the worst offenders.

    So sad to see the bombers lose by 3 points and get shafted by the umps.

    IT IS SO SWEET!!

    Case in point. 

     

    It does not get any more obvious and all 3 umps would have seen it clearly and decided to ignore the rule book. Expecting a response from the AFL on that one.

    Bloody average game, poor umpiring but great result. 

    Not a great result really, if we are a serious threat and the jury is out, we want the top sides losing.

    Easy to forget we are watching an all-time great in Buddy Franklin. Will kick a 1000 goals in an era when it should not be possible. And to add to that, he seems like a nice, down to earth guy 

    how he never won a Brownlow is a disgrace. Best player of the past 20 years imo

    Result suits us.  Bombers always as losers is good.  Swans are March premiers.  Swans will be media darlings this week and we can just go about our business of banking another 4 points...

    hear what you are saying but if we are worrying about Sydney's results in our potential tilt, then we are in trouble.  We just keep winning and the ladder looks after itself

    the ladder has never been Melbourne's friend.

    In almost every year that we have made finals we have relied on results of other games to get us just that little higher

    It's part of the MFC curse

    Looks like Essendon aren’t going to be as bad as people thought they might be, it’s the best part of this time of year because you’re still finding out how good/bad a team really is. Case in point is us where we have won the first 3 but we’re still really waiting to see where we sit in the actual rankings. 

    Credit to Sydney for managing to rebuild so quickly without having too long down the bottom. I know there’s a degree of enjoyment with seeing certain teams get shafted by the umps, but ultimately you just want a level contest that is purely decided on which team is better on the day/night.

    To be honest though, I didn't think the contest tonight was all that fair

    That makes no sense. A serious threat beats good teams. If we need others to lose to fall in, we’re no threat at all.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      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?
