    Totally different players with different requirements for their positions.ie forwards need good delivery.

    Spot on and the only good delivery forwards got today was from our experienced miss like AVDB, Melksham and Jones

    A convincing win by a side that hasn’t played for 5 weeks is much more than an ordinary win. A foolish post. 

    as quoted earlier a heap of afl listed players against a team of youngsters ,afl players train to be ready for a call up to the ones so 5 weeks off does not mean a thing

    An absolute second half goalfest. LoLo may be a stylish way to get your lockdown home delivery but the floating rear suspension is so passé. Pump up your shocks!

    Enjoyed the Browns' contributions, Mitch unfortunately out with an inopportune injury, Ben showing something up forward and Campbell would be a major improvement in the big league. Talks common sense with more than a hint of authority.

    Plenty to like about  from the guys that played, both veterans and rookies. Is Aaron Vandenberg a chance of a recall at some stage? Body and Soul player at his best.

    He might be a good option high half forward manning a crafty hb type.  Will rotate through the middle.  Think he is back in the queue behind Jones.

    Essendon had 13 AFL listed players out there. 3 or 4 of our old boys excepted and I doubt they were any younger. Still, you’ve got an angry agenda, so whatever.

    didn't think I'd say it...but in the heat of September there might be a role for the body player like Vandenberg.

    Very good game today

    Bradtke down back was interesting. Didn't do too much but didn't make any mistakes.

    Cannot see any candidate to replace Hibberd next year if needed. May need to trade for that player.

    Baker is becoming good at this level.

    Maynard?

    What would have been a pass mark? Like specifically what did you want to see from him?

    He was a big reason we got to the Prelim in 2018… was brought back into the team around finals time, and performed brilliantly.

    Nuh

    31 pressure acts

    Jones doesn't have the legs to cover the ground and fill that gap

    Spot on. It's not a like for like.

    As well as covering the ground, much of the value of those small guys is to get a hand in here and there to disrupt play. It requires reflexes/quickness. 

    ANB is doing this consistently, even when he's having an off game.

    Jones is probably relying on someone to go down to get a game.

    perhaps what forward should do,lead,mark and kick goal .Its very simple if he wasnt gifted goals today by his team mates he might have had very bad day

    All KP forwards get gifted goals it is called team work. You also have to be there in the right spots. He had a good game and is a proven top level forward who had not played for a month. Good effort IMO.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
