Jordons best game?

Good to see.

One player who has the skill to deliver a lot of upside. Needs to hit the scoreboard more often

    put the cue in the rack in the last, as we did against the suns, I get it, but gee, the fan in me would have loved to smash both teams, especially away from home. 

    see y'all at the G next week

    We keep our smashings to finals mate. 
    April is a boys game.

    Apart from letting port kick junk time goals I was pretty happy with that.
    Last year we weren't pretty and won the flag.
    We're better this year but still plenty of room for improvement.
    We take the 4pts and move on to next week.
    The seasons a marathon .... Not a sprint.

    Thought Bowey was ordinary tonight.  Might be time to give him a rest.

    Only gets a rest when Salem comes back.

    [censored] you Melbourne. That was a trash display of footy.

    Had the opportunity to really put the foot down but instead we tried to be too cute with our ball use going forward. 3 weeks in a row now that we've just played sloppy and let opposition back into the game.

    Are McDonald and Weideman actually for real?? 2nd week in a row where they've had opportunity to cement their spot while Brown is out and both failed miserably.

    Both could barely give a contest or bring the ball to ground. Sooner these two are phased out for good the better.

    Petracca is a star and all but [censored] hell he's sloppy and selfish at times. 

    Thank God for Steven May.

     

    A lot won't like it but you're spot on, could've won that game by 15 goals, missed opportunity to get a huge percentage boost. Overuse of the ball, fumbling when in the clear due to going with one hand. You can toss a coin who goes out between TMac and Weid, one rarely gets near it and the other has resumed his meh self. Get BBB back in asap. Kozzie a bit less chasing and a bit more getting the ball yourself.

    Think that's a better win than the consensus is giving credit for.

    We were in complete control the whole match. We even did the unthinkable and let langdon finish on the bench, that's how much control we were in.

    Percentage won't matter when we're 22 and 0

    Great example of us managing our fitness this week.

    Usually Langdon, May and Tomlinson play 100% (Lever too when he's fully fit).

    Tonight we gave all of them rests - May 97%, Tomlinson 96%, Langdon 95%, Lever 89%.

    Mega Frustrated- gift kills where we could have won by 20 goals are so rare  this was a big missed opportunity.

    Still very happy for the win, and I loved tehe deefence.

    Not so sure. Forward line needs work and bbb back asap.  Others are just going.

    Premiership standard defence safely in place.

    That was gross.

    Hinkley is done.

    A multi-year finals team playing like a rebuilding side to try and mitigate the damage.

    Absolutely awful.

    Dominated most of the night.

    Defensively great.

    Max was BIT, back in town.

    No votes for Trac or Clarry but others stood up.

    Everyone played their role, did their bit.

    Take the win and look for avenge to last year's defeat by GWS in 10 days.

    Far out. The bar has gone through the roof with some of you people. It was a good, strangling win. Not great, not particularly exciting - the Jordon touch on the line was the only time my heart rate got above resting, but we got the job done. 

    I'm just waiting for someone to say we're the worst 4-0 side of all time or something.

    Surely the club is calling Clarko after that display!

    I would prefer mcdonald going back to find some form, he does not chase and has not provided a lot of drive this year, hope he can recapture his form. Dropping him may give him the drive to try a bit harder, chase a little more. Weids needs a chance to show what he can do, this was obviously not the game for forwards, with our poor inside 50's.

    Yep even though Tom was marginally better I think Weid needs to be given proper time in there. Whatever was going on with the style of game if very rarely open to the point of talk forwards having an impact. I’m not giving them excuses but almost every contest were massive packs and the only one on one I think Weid got he was clearly being held. 

    Sam should be given a body of games to prove his Essendon performance wasn’t a fluke. 

    I think those who are frustrated by the win tonight need to remind themselves we’re we’re winning in similar ways this time last season. The game tonight was never out of our control and coming off short breaks plus the interstate travel the fitness staff are likely managing the players a bit. 

    GWS next week will be a much sterner challenge I’d say. 

    As for Port, they looked lifeless tonight. Tried to strangle us with no way to attack, baffling tactics. We look at our most vulnerable when teams keep the ball in motion to shift our zone. 

    I think Hinkley could be in some trouble.

    Wow. Port supporters easily pleased clapping their players going down the race🤣

    I thought an undermanned Port gave good effort all game right until the end, didn't totally drop their bundle skills wise either, continued to take risks and took on the game to an exent. 

    They were just out classed by a much better team.  I'd be ok with that as a Port supporter as far as the players they put on the park.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
