Well thanks a lot Essendon. Given Geelong a percentage of 191% 🤬

    I'm enjoying the last 3 minutes.

    Geelong should have won by a lot more. 38 scoring shots to 17.

    What a miserable day for the bombers. I think it's the worst loss under rutten

    I hate Geelong. Essendon were pathetic which I suppose is a good thing. Luckily I had a siesta during the 2nd and 3rd quarters.

     

    -50 in contested is very bad

    Perfect result. Inflate the cats egos and the medias thoughts on their chances and just absolutely destroy the hype around Essendon. Spectacular work.

    This exactly. Let all the hype be on Geelong. We have been forgotten in the Bevo/Morris controversy. Fine with me.

    What's with these 50m penalties? Geelong player marks ball, Essendon player runs up towards the mark, looks at umpire and obviously gets the impression he went a yard too far so backs off and is pinged for not standing.  Not even clear if the umpire said stand.   Not sure it should be a penalty, let alone 50m.

    I thought they'd stopped playing games at that stadium? Something about the poor surface causing injuries I think.

    Is the stand rule still a thing? I saw at least 4 times where Doggies players moved all over the place standing the mark without being pinged 50!

    We seemed to do it every time!

    Doggies are intentionally standing back from the mark so they can move around as a tactic this year apparently.

    Who cares about percentage? We have to stop having a mindset of worrying about other teams. We need to win and keep winning and percentage will take care of itself.

    Well Sydney worry me. They are scary. 

    Already this game is 1000 times better than the Geelong Essendon game. Both these sides are better than Geelong.

    Great game Swans v Giants. Feels like a final and it's round 1. Brutal tackling, uncompromising, top shelf skills. If I cold steal 2 players it would be Heeney and Tom Green. Love watching them play.

    I just saw someone put on twitter obviously a cats fan is bringing up the drugs saga & an Essendon supporter wrote get over it. Sorry you will always hear about it.

    I'm flicking between the world cup & the footy

    I would have kicked them out of the AFL. Still laugh at their motto for that year. " What ever it takes" One of my nephews gave up following them.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
