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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
