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

IT IS SO SWEET!!

Brings a tear to me eye...

    Deliberate out of bounds is the worst rule in the game.

    I think deliberate is gone CB....us fans will have to scream ‘insufficient intent’ when the ball gets kicked or tapped out of play. Last night was the first time I’ve heard the umps use those words.

    I think the heat and the swans further developed fitness base had alot to do with the result against the Tiges last week, couldn't be arsed on the basis of tonight's result. Plus the swans short chipping game not holding up in the greasy conditions.

    I thought it was a poor game last night and i'm definitely not on the Sydney bandwagon after that performance.

    Heeney a huge out. I rate him highly so not sorry he'll miss our game (hopefully he's back for the game after they play us). Hopefully Buddy needs to be managed and won't play us either. He man handled Francis a few times last night. He'll be a handful and a big threat. Stevie May will earn his pay packet that week for sure.

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

    In my opinion any time Essendon lose it’s a great result. If we want to be a good side this year we shouldn’t need to be worried about other results in round four.

    Essendon look a good side under Rutten.  They play a more accountable brand and will knock off some good sides this year. Hopefully not us..

    Thought neither side showed any system in the last quarter, it was bang it forward and hope, almost like they were panicking.. Two average sides I reckon.

    Must say there is a lot to like about Nik Cox. Feel like our Rosman is of a similar ilk albeit quite raw.

    druggies got a bad run from umps, but swans ahead on nearly all stats. if swans had been more accurate it would have been a comfortable win. nevertheless the druggies were just one umpire decision from winning

    I agree Wheels, he looks the goods at this early stage.

    Do you remember his father Daryl who played 13 games for us in 1984-86?

    I disagree with posters who believe Essendon’s  loss is no good for us and that the Swans are 4-0. The more distance we can put on to the middle of the road sides the better. We want to be a top side but there is always is a top four. We hopefully will be 4-0 on Sunday evening.

    Thought Sydney looked very vulnerable against frontal pressure against their half backs. If they can't slingshot against you, they have trouble scoring.

    If we're on against them, it should play into our hands perfectly. 

    This is the St Kilda formula from last year. Very beatable. They use the ball well, but if you can close down their space across half back and provide them no space to play the chip game that pulls players out of spaces and allows them to transition, they struggle. Essendon showed the way.

    Big ole' game tonight ladies and gents.  Neither of these teams would have planned on being 2-2 after 4 rounds.   Port were the darlings of the AFL world just over a week ago and two straight losses would take some shine off them.

    Could be in for a real ring ding dinger.

    What's with trying to kick around the corner when you are 30 metres out on a 45 degree angle?

    Port will win easily.

    That’s how you get the ball out of defence 

    enjoy that Koschi...

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
