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.

    And hate Collingwood too!

    Long story, but just trust me..

    Bombers fans on Twitter calling for an inquiry into umpiring.

    Couldn’t agree more. Let’s begin with the round 10 Crows game shall we?

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
