This game was not as important as the Swans losing, but wonderful to see the umpires lose a game they tried to win.

Good weekend.

    OMG the Bont free kick situation has got completely out of hand

    I only saw a few minutes but that last gift goal was an absolute travesty - dropped the ball in a tackle then gifted the free.

    You know the Bont is winning the Brownlow just by how much the umpires love and protect him

    This isn't as good a result for us as people think.

    If we go 2-1 from here and the Dogs go 2-0, the Dogs will finish above us - even with this loss, we still have to win all three games, and/or the Dogs have to lose to Hawthorn or Port (in Melbourne), for us to finish above them.

    It's certainly possible (Port's in form, for example), but it's still not that likely.

    But Essendon's win puts them in pole position to finish in the top 8, particularly if we beat West Coast tomorrow (Essendon has the percentage buffer over all their competitors).

    Last night I said GWS had given up on the season.

    Today I said the bombers looked horrific.

    And, last week I said how glad I was that Peter Wright didn’t come to us.

    Im on a roll folks!

    this weekend has shown the teams playing for finals spots are dangerous opponents. WCE are in danger of dropping out so we have to bring our A game. A slow start is not acceptable tomorrow

    You do realise that Essendon have an easy last 2 games and will probably make finals now and we have to put up with there arrogant fans. They are actually not a bad team & could cause some trouble.

    Bont clearly has won the Brownlow. Umpires fawn over the bloke. It’s sickening.

    If Clarry got the same love he would win it this year with the highest votes EVER

    Nah. Don't stress. 2 meter Peter will never play a game like that again and the bombers wouldn't kick as straight again. They'll do nothing in finals

    100% HTB  No grey area. But even if not HTB, dangerous tackle?! Is that ump for real?

    So some people are already celebrating top spot and we have not even played yet. And top spot means nothing until the end of the final series.

    Did we just Steven Bradbury to spot? 

    We haven't done anything yet.

    First we have to win tomorrow. That puts us on top.

    Then we have to outdo Geelong and the Bulldogs by a game, because we'll only be half a game in front.

    So, if we beat West Coast tomorrow, and then Adelaide, but lose to Geelong, both Geelong and the Dogs will pass us unless they lose another game (which requires Geelong to lose to St Kilda, or the Dogs to lose to Hawthorn or Port).

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
