I found it amusing that after 5 years and into the third quarter they started booing Hibberd. Got a laugh out of that one.

    The absolute highlight for me was the double 50 metre penalty!

    Not because of the penalty itself, nor the fact that it gifted us an important goal. No! It was because I was picturing the absolute apoplectic rage of the Essendon supporters and wishing I was there to see it live.

    I didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or wet myself while dribbling Shiraz out of my nose.

    And to think people say you shouldn't bask in the misfortune of others!

    Not surprised BBO that  you appreciated  the mass self flagellation spectacle of the druggie fans.

    When the second 50 was given, I knew it was because of Smith mouthing off. I screamed out " Tell him what you think Devon !! "

    The bombers fans around me were ropable!! So funny !!

    Lowlight of the game was some [censored] stealing a top from the Demon Shop at half time. I went down to get the number 5 put on my son's guernsey and the staff realised someone had bolted out and stolen a sweater or hoodie or something. I mean seriously, if you barrack for the club why would you pinch something from their own store???

    the highlight is definitely finding my new home of all football content on the internet.

    My Panthers were also stunned, how were yours?

    They were booing him from the start of the match. 
    Imagine being that deluded that you think players you injected with drugs and took away an entire year of their career had no right to leave?! 
    You clap that wife cheating gambler Stringer but boo Hibberd. All [censored] class Essendon.

    That’s there supporter base in a nutshell.

    They grew up in the 80’s and 90’s thinking footy was winning a flag every second year and always being near the top. They are the epitome of entitled.

    And now their delusional relationship with cult figures from that era has put that club back 20 years. Most of them still think they should get Sheeds and Hirdy back and it’ll be just like 1993 again.

    They embarrassed themselves last night and, even worse, their incessant booing and appealing for frees clearly influenced their team.  Even the players were waving their hands around for ridiculous, non-existent free kicks in the last quarter, instead of focusing on the next contest.

    Was Petracca turning around and waving to the feral Essendon [censored] in the crowd, who no doubt had been giving Christian some goal kicking advice. And THEN, when he kicks the goal, and gives him a great big smile and a wave, the Essendon [censored] appealing to the umpires saying words to the effect of "Can he do that?"

     

    I swear that Essendon supporter wanted a free kick. Just poety.

    Yeah, that was priceless. And the fact that it’s garnering a fair bit of attention speaks to the culture of our club, IMO. I mean, how many players from oppo clubs, in Tracc’s position of having just kicked a goal, engage with the crowd in aggressive, belligerent ways? Tonnes of them, right? But our players are generally classier than that. (Let’s for a moment pretend Tomas Bugg never existed. ?)

    As we were walking out of the ponsford essendrug supporters yelled 'you can thank the umpires melbourne' so I cleverly yelled back' essendon are a pack of whingers.' They stopped and turned around wanting to go on with it.....fortunately my 6 foot 4 inch 97 kilo (first ruck for Kew Rovers U 15 gold.......top of the ladder in YJFL) son was with me and one look at him and they were on their not so merry way. Ha! Enjoy Dees....Enjoy!!  Ha ! 

    Dam, wish you had filmed that, would have been great to see?

    My highlight was Fritta helping that fool into the point post and then skipping away like nothing happened.
    Looks like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth but he's sneaky mean as previously shown with his don't argue elbow.

    Essendon have the worst supporters full stop. Can't stop complaining against the umpires. Drug cheats rot in hell.

    The highlight was we got the 4 points. 

    All that matters.

    Highlight for me was the final siren and the chorus of boos from the cheats. 

    The belting out of the song from the MCG loud speakers, Its a grand old flag its a high flying flag felt special, which completely drowned the pack of A holes out.

    I thought Parish on the final siren made a massive [censored] of himself. Mouthing off at the umpire because his team mate didn't get paid a mark at half back when they are down 2 goals down. 

    As I mentioned on the other thread they are a stain on the competition, love that we only ever play them once a year. Couldn't stand being forced to watch Essendon more than once a year.

    I hope they enjoy the next 6141 days the flogs.

    There was something really ordinary about the Ess supporters 

    there was a lot of heated exchanges around me in the members with verbal insults

    The Ess supporters barracking was extremely provocative

    Anyway they left pretty well on the siren the booing was very bad and lasted all game

    The double 50 almost caused a meltdown hhahhahahhahah

    I thought the umpiring was pretty bad and favored us way too much. Id be upset if i was a bummers fam.

    About time though.

    The biggest highlight was Tom macca's overhead snap on goal.

    The MACCAS momemt sign then came on screen.

    I think if you watch the replay, yes we got some favourable calls, but there were quite a few non calls that went against us too. Rivers a clear push in the back with a couple of minutes to go. Kossi taken high. Etc etc. 2 meter Peter paid a mark that well, wasn't really a mark.

    I too would be annoyed at the umpiring if the shoe was on the other foot, but to blame the loss on them is ridiculous. There are only 3 games this year that were won and lost due to the umpiring, and all were decided by 1-2 points. 11 points win with 6 more scoring shots is simply not a win handed to a team by the umpires. It just isn't. 

    We got out to a 21 point lead at one point. No matter how bad the umpiring is, it won't do that for you!

    It's an interesting one, i've been to 8 games this year and it's the first time opposition fans have interacted with me in a negative manner after the game. 

    I was leaving the G alone and had several unprovoked comments directed at me by Essendon fans 

    • 'How much did you pay the umpires?"
    • "Free Kick Melbourne"
    • "Have you seen the police anywhere? The Bombers just got robbed"
    • "Go to the snow"
    • "Can't wait until you lose again"

    Like they were all harmless comments overall, but in the 7 other games I've been to, nothing said to me but somehow from leaving the ground to the corner of Bridge/Punt I copped 5 random comments aha 

    Had lovely opposition fans next to me in certain games (Hawks/Saints) and had very civil conversations with them during the game about the state of play etc.

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
