Not very smart are they?

Loved booing their team off the ground. Hope Stringer felt at home being told off for being a [censored]. 

Did they boo there team off? Thought it was for the umps or us.

    In previous years we’ve allowed one loss to turn into a slump. We’ve found different ways of winning this year and that’s very important.

    At this stage of the season I’ll take 4 points any which way. Thankfully we were surrounded by MFC supporters. Instead of sheep I’ll have to count boos to fall asleep.

    Our best tonight are obvious but special mention to Gus and Hunt for working their absolute backside off defensively.

    I haven’t been following the footy for long enough( because I immigrated not because I’m young) so haven’t got the deep hatred of certain teams of fans that normal dees supports have developed. But after tonight the Bombers can go and get stuffed( for want of a stronger word). The dirty cheating shower of cheats. Their fans were awful tonight. How about you cheering on your own team instead of booing the opposition for the whole game.

    Was the booing really that loud? It's easy to turn the mics up 

    It was ridiculous. I was at the ground and they booed far more than they cheered. 

    Half time ground announcer: “Bomber fans cheer your team off”

    [censored] Essendon fans: “no we must boo the umpires instead”. 
     

    A pathetic bunch.

    It was always going to be a tough game - coming off the bye against a red-hot Bombers after a poor performance, but the boys got it done.

    Agree with what most have said before: we need to work out our forward line: it's what's keeping us from putting the games away earlier.

    When we play at our best we’re an absolute fuggin juggernaut. 
     

    But, we’ve still got a consistency problem to deal with.

    Take the win. Important 4 points.  Messy last quarter. Could not win a clearance. Played well in the 3rd but missed a lot of chances 

    Gus played well. Best I have seen him kick the ball for a long time. 

    Think we need to bring BBB in and give him a good run at it

    Jayden Hunt killed Tippa.

    Leaders lifted in the third. 

    Viney was quiet but should be better for the run.

    Liked Jordon's defensive efforts.

     

     

    Haven't checked the records but in my mind Jack has always been a bit slow out of the blocks post-injury. 

    And it felt like the least influence that Clarry and Trac have had in a game this year in combination. 

    I'm convinced that those boys are our best throuple heading into the pointy end though. Let it flow.

    Will take the win, but we are a long way from the side that was 8-0.

    Teams are starting to find ways to pick us apart and you just hope we can start managing more than a grinding win leading into September.

    Lots of blokes a long way off their best and we keep winning so there is from to improve 

    Not being smart but which teams are picking us apart? 

    Leaving the crows and pies out of tbe discussion - because in both games our defensive run, all team defence and pressure were miles off - no other team has been able to put scoreboard pressure on us. Not picking us apart at all.

    The bombers are one of the form sides atm and one of the most offensive, highest scoring teams in the AFL. And in perfect conditions could only manage 57 points. 

    Our Achilles heel is way too many missed shots for goal. 

    Agree on blokes being down though. Kozzie was poor tonight as was Fritter. I thought Jackson was average too.

    I think that's the reward for being on top - everyone will go harder at you. It's great experience for this team.

    Ugly ugly win.

    Decision making news to improve big time, like Hunt kicking directly to an Essendon player in the last minute in our forward line, no players being on the goal line etc.

    We need to also keep pressure on under performers, so be interesting to see who steps up in the VFL tomorrow.

    I’m happy for all the DL-ers who were at the match. ? It’s sooo cold tonight, losing to the drug cheats would have made it such a miserable trek home. ❤️?

    Look I’ll never watch the highlight reel. But I’ll remember fondly crushing Essendon’s finals hope and staying top of the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
