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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
