It’s weird, isn’t it? Just an irrational hatred - Jake Stringer front and centre!

He looked really pleased in the last quarter when it was obvious that the dogs were going to win.

A footscay mate was also pleased that Stringer was pleased,   Ha Ha

No more Essendon in the finals is very pleasing. 

 

Bombers were putrid, Dogs not that impressive.

I really love this headline:

Let the Bummers feel more of the pain we have endured over the years.

Gotta say though.
Only one of the 4 was actually there ... Sort of.
If that was against us I'd be fuming.
Still a chance it could be.

The nauseating “brave bombers”, they’ve so much “upside” narrative by Hamish and JB was matched only by Luke Hodge’s attempt to clear Toby of all blame even before the game was over the day before.

Only the push out of bounds was not there! Yes the others were on the light side but they were free kicks which just happened to be near the goals. 

Gaahhhh hahahahahaha…….. hahahahaha I didn’t think the weekend could get any better…. Hhhaaaahahaha Ess!! 
The sweet salty tears of Ess fans, yummy!

Milked the high one.
Maybe pay the clip over the ear .... Maybe.
Holding in the marking contest ... BS.
Front on bump paid as push ... BS.
 

There was a comment pre game, think it may have Brayshaw, not sure, about Essendon being this mighty powerhouse club back in finals, or something along those lines. See, right there, is the problem. Essendon supporters just expect that it is a given that they should be playing finals and winning flags, because they have a lot of support and membership. It’s just arrogance. And that drives their pathetic behaviour in that they always blame someone else when they don’t succeed. Every Essendon supporter I know still thinks they did nothing wrong in the drugs scandal. It was someone else’s fault. 
 

They were awful in the second half today. They played the dumbest football I have seen in a long time. Starting with that bloke with the mullet, he is a knucklehead.

Look at them again

 1. He made the tackle lower by lowering himself slightly. This has happened 25,000 times in decisions of around the neck 

2. Replay from different angle showed it was much stronger arm hit to head than at first shown. ( was still there  before however) 

3. Defender clearly had CW in hold with his arm early then as ball approached it was released to loosely around body.

4. Not there 

Remember  I said that some were light but nevertheless the frees were there and were paid but just happened to be in front of goal.

This season umpires are paying very soft neck and holding frees in general play so up forward  is also on the agenda.  Holding ball became almost redundant up to 2/3 rounds ago but is now back on the agenda.

Can't see any thing more about it than this !!

1. Stooged the umpire as they do.
What ever happened to ... "Ducked into it .... Play on."

3. At no time was he held.

Glad you're not umpiring any finals.
Still ... You may actually be better than the muppets that are.

Brisbane are not a bad side. Came up against a juggernaut last night.

They also have a good recent record against Port

Essendon is one of the weakest finals sides the AFL has ever seen: there's a reason we talk about 12-10 being the mark for finalists, it's not common at all for 11-11 to be enough. It's no surprise they couldn't compete today for more than a half.

The Dogs didn't play well but had the easy draw. I can't see them getting near Brisbane next week.

This BS about baby bombers - average age 2 months older than MFC. 

I missed the Dogs game but reading the comments re Weightman and watching the mini match I’ve got no idea what people are on about. The first 4 frees were not Lindsay Thomas ducks and dives, the umps made the calls, whether right or wrong it was not Cody doing anything “wrong”. 

Weightman is a very good little player. He and Kozzi are two exciting prospects from the same draft, enjoy watching them.

The first three were all there.

The fourth wasn't, though. Called a push in the back, he was pushed fairly off the ball.

The rest of it is Essendon whinging. Take all his goals out and they still lose that game by 5 goals. Weightman's free kicks didn't stop them kicking 0 goals in the second half.

Absolutely nothing against Weightman. He's going to be a star if he's not already.

He's Charlie Spargo turned up to 11.

Umpires needed to just hold their nerve today and let the players slog it out. It was a tough elimination final in the wet. Just get out and stay out.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
