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.

    with both Port and Tiges losing last week this could be interesting.

    Medium to strong winds but otherwise conditions good

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
