Far better game swans and giants but there is something about the commentators doing the swans games. We had McInerny for ages but now it seems it is Russell ( I think) that keeps on having strange orgasms over their players. I find it quite odd and unnecessary.

 

Dwayne Is the worst commentator in the AFL - not that the others are any good, but he insists on adding Americanisms to our game, and all it does it takeaway what is special about the AFL. I actually forgot how much I dislike when he calls.


Some guy tried to tell me the other day that Rutten and a couple of other AFL coaches, privately do not rate Goodwin as a coach. Well I am sorry but after today if I was Rutten I would shut up and concentrate on keeping his own job!

If Rutten's men keep performing like that, I hope he coaches Essendon for ever.

If this is fact, and I'm not sure it would be, I have a next door neighbour who suggested that if his Goldfish sits at the bottom of the bowl then he never bets on his team. But if the Goldfish floats, then.... he gets another Goldfish!!

Anyone who now Doesn't rate Goody needs to take a look at our Stellar 2021 and acknowledge what a fantastic job this man did!


Green, Taranto, Kelly, Congilio, Whitefield, Hoppper, Greene, Ward.

This team should be pushing hard for a flag this season. 

This is a cracking game. Both teams are super sharp. Ball use exceptional

My way too early call - both teams make top 4

I don't know for certain but rumour was GWS was happy to take Jackson if we put a bid on Green.  Probably would have been better for their list management too.

I remember someone mentioning that here back around that draft I think, could have even been yourself. Taylor absolutely loved Green, I'm a fan of him now too, but he ended up leaning the right way hey!


Just watched Ben Ruttens presser. 
 

I kid you not him and Gill McLaughlin could be twins!

well - not really

even if we'd nominated him there was no way gw$ wouldn't match the bid

and if they hadn't we wouldn't have dogga and i'll definitely take dogga over the mini-clayton that is tom green

Edited by whatwhat say what

They seem upset on Bomberblitz

Just at the start

 

Fine, I’ll start.

6 months to prepare for this game. 6 months.

6 months to develop a semblance of a structure that may actually be competitive. To work out how to deliver the ball to our forwards. To work out how to not let it waltz from one end of the ground to another. To learn how to make use of kick ins. To freaking mark the ball. Hit a 1m target with a handball.

6 months to even look like you wanted to be out there. ■■■■ me. They looked like they had been dragged out against their will.

The signs were there in the St Kilda game, but it’s ok, we were just changing things up, just toying with them.

Complete and utter failure by our coaching panel. Truck may be good at creating content for the website but there is absolutely nothing to suggest he can develop and coach a football team.

Get ■■■■■■ with your scripted videos. Get ■■■■■■ you soulless, vacuous void of a football club. Scotty from marketing has more substance. You are nothing.

 

i dont think it an overreaction to fold the club

 

Sat in the sun for the game.
Beer cues crazy long
Geelong fans acting like arrogant flogs
We were appalling
…and yet I’m still kinda glad footy is back

 

 

Essendon Football Club

Where talent comes to die.

 

happy to be at the footy on a sunny day after two years of not being able to do that much. essendon still puts the “fun” in “lack of fundamental ball skills”

When’s cricket season start

As entertaining as this game is, I don't think the coaches will be happy with the scores they're conceding.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • 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.
