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.

I reckon 10 years of playing in front of nobody is paying off now for GWS. They thrive in empty stadiums.

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.

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).

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
