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. 


What a weekend for Melbourne. .Started of hoping to stay in the top four ended up playing for top spot. Just get it done.

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

Yep ive had both WCE and Freo out of a finals series thats played in Perth.

This season just keeps on giving.

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).

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
