...singing the song in masks.....thats like showering in a raincoat..or....

 

At least we started spotting up a few targets in the second half. Also, our game is built entirely around defence, I can't see us winning a game by more than 6 goals. A two game lead on top, so who gives a [censored] how we win.

Great game from Gus tonight. Hunt did a great job on Tippa as did Hibbo on Stringer. JJ and Sparrow continue to impres.The forward line needs a rethink.

And yet... we do!

Our best games have come against the top 4 challengers. We have been really unconvincing agaisnt the rest yet keep winning ugly.

This was a really ugly game. I usually look forward to the replay, but i wont be watching this one again. I doubt i will watch the highlights more than once.


Job done. 

What a stain on the competition the Bombers are, everything about them is so gross

 

 

Take it and run. 
 

Also eat a bag you salty loser Essendon drug injecting cheats. 

I think that was a very determined win by our boys. Essendon are a side that’s playing with a lot of confidence, and I feel like we are a bit down on it. To do the hard things well and get the win was very important, and shows a good deal of maturity. 

Our kicking for goal is infuriating, but it’s not a pattern yet so let’s not over think it.

I really enjoy knowing that Spargo, Brayshaw, Langdon and Jordan are going to put their body on the line when it matters. It’s not about being a superstar, it’s about maintaining intensity and going when it’s your turn. I feel like that’s the most pleasing thing about our season to date. The setting of standards.


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 

I will confess I have not seen a 2nd of this game. I was at home but to scared to watch so I checked the scores and very happy with the win. 

I have recorded it so I'm thinking may just watch the 2nd half. 

But at some stage we will have to put a team to the sword.

2 games clear on top, no injuries good night.

But happy we beat the bummers & wrecked there supporters night

We were fairly scrappy throughout most of the night but we still got the job done. This game was another reminder that even when we're not playing our best footy we're still finding ways to win. The Melbourne of 2019-2020 certainly would not have maintained the lead in the final quarter. 

Lever and May were immense. Brayshaw's slowly making progress. Langdon was very good, as usual. If anything needs improvement it would be our forwardline. It was quite obvious from the beginning that we needed either Mitch Brown or Ben Brown.

Let's take the four points and move on to next week.

Defence too good.

So odd to be sitting atop the ladder and still waiting for the team to click.

The Roos' defensive ethos was bs. Stemmed the bleeding is all. 

And then Goody came out all guns blazing. 

Spent all our cookies on Lever and May. 

To allow Goody to keep on blazing. Genius.

So satisfying.

V happy with hunts game tonight

 

Shut Tippa down and stopped a lot of fwd thrusts

His best game this season. Was very important tonight.

As you say shut tippa down, but also ran off him at every chance

I’ll have to think of it this way. We played better than Geelong did, or Richmond did, or Sydney did…

I found it hilarious that when the tv panned to essendon fans, it looked like their brain and their mouth just wouldn't cooperate. They wanted to hurl abuse but didnt even know what to say. ? ?

Young Kozzie needs to be told that every time he touches the ball it doesn’t need to be a highlights reel play. Sometimes just doing the simple things gets the job done.

Once again, far too many hit and hope/Hollywood handballs from players when laying the boot into the ball is a better option.


Essendon were fantastic tonight. So tough to penetrate their forward line, but we got it done. Tough win. I hope this makes the club realise that wins aren’t going to just come. We have to work hard for them and we did.

If we make the grand final, I hope the game is not like this. My dad’s heart can’t take it

Not very smart are they?

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

Second half started spotting up forwards. Makes a big difference. Need to convert the opportunities. TMAc, Fritta, Spargo, Jacko, etc.

Jayden Hunt killed Tippa.

Leaders lifted in the third. 

Viney was quiet but should be better for the run.

Liked Jordon's defensive efforts.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
