Lucifer - sadly I think your prediction is spot on. They won’t let GW$ play without a ruckman …… now if it was someone in different color, say red and blue, or red, white and black, maybe blue and white vertical stripes then it would be “we must stamp this out and the head is sacrosanct this week - 4 to 6 weeks.”

Nah … not even NATO could turn a blind eye to that one . Has to get weeks.

 

HUDDO (referring to a last-second goal by the bombers): "That was just what the Essendon doctor ordered." 

That phrase means something different to most of us than it seems to mean to Huddo.

It caused a chuckle at ours. 

 

It’s surprisingly entertaining watching two teams constantly mess up things our players can do in their sleep these days. 


Can I dare to dream that the Bummers could lose to the Crows at home?

Go the crows.

 

Essendon ruckman looks a bit like one of the Droogs in Clockwork Orange

That last kick inside 50, they had three to kick to and choose the bomber player.

Abit like watching the women yesterday.

Well Well Well Well

Starting to think St Kilda are a chance to feature in prelim final week.

Both clubs had a brief taste in 2018 and 2020 and then had down years.

Why not them?

A goal fest at Marvel in the first half.

Love it @Lucifers Hero

Not a pot at you at all...and isn't there a massive shift in the supporters understanding and THUS the language used by us, because we now have a lens of what 'works' to win football matches consistently. It's also not just our - defense (back 6) running parallel to the strength of our 'defence' is still the system - which I still count as a a Goodwin version of gengenpressing.

Gold Coast well on top here. excellent around the ball but wayward in front of goal

They have a couple of good ruckmen and a decent midfield. King and Membery are good forwards backed up by the smaller likes of Greisham. I think that are definite finalists.

Come on Gold Coast

Yes I only just realised I don’t watch non-Melbourne games to see who wins, but rather to barrack for a side to lose. Huge shame that the Bombers got up, the Hawthorn match is looking promising and hopefully the wheels can fall off the Carlton bandwagon. I’m not a nice person.

  • 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.
