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.
Love it.

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.

Unrepentant drug cheats.

Who gives a [censored] what they or their supporters think.

Gentleman Jack Viney clearing the cobwebs with a hit on Devon Smith. Classic Viney who will take out a few more before seasons end.

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.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
