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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
