Get the feeling Rutten isn't going to last at bomberland.

Maybe the players are playing for Lord Jimmy, and not Ben, or the club. ย They just hope he can bring an injection of enthusiasm (or at least an injection of something). ๐Ÿ™„

The ladder is really interesting. It is completely clear that only two teams have any idea about defence โ€“ of course, we are one of them.

so lovely to see Geelong on the slide.

 

Rutten will start getting described as 'not Essendon enough' soon and that is the path to the door.ย

And on that note...I wonder how Matthew Knights feels about the current situation...

I know we would be a different side without Petracca or Oliver but is there a team more reliant on one player than Richmond is on Dusty?

Dylan Sheil copping plenty on Bomber Blitz, what happened?

Has anyone ever seen that bloke smile?

Barely touched the ball.ย  Just seemed to strut around.

Parker took the mickey out of him with a shoulder shrug jig after kicking a goal after Sheil fumbled the ball.ย  The jig suggesting Shiel is frightened to go in hard for the ball.

Quite funny!

So much support there for sledging.ย  A fine example to juniors.

Cant agree Sue sorry but a bloke who is on megabucks is deemed to be not going hard enough cops it, I reckon thats fair enough

shiel is signed on big, big money til the end of 2024 and doesn't look like an afl level player

he can ONLY play in the midfield and his effort and impact is not even close to being good enough at the moment

peptides in a world of pain...such a shame

No.


Too much to ask for a GC, GWS, Melbourne Trifecta?

Such a shame.. NOT

Apart from the Parker incident, there was also a point in the game where one of his team mates (I think it was Redman) was absolutely paying out on Shiel for not doing his share in defending.

Shame I'm not doing tipping this year, it looks like I'm 6/6 so far.

Very happy to see St Kilda beat Geelong yesterday. Looks like the slide is on!

I agree with some others on here that it looks as though the 8 is set. I'm just hoping both Geelong and Richmond draw eachother in an Elimination Final so as to take care of one of themselves.

And my early pick is St Kilda to take a top 4 spot along with us Fremantle and Brisbane. I thought they gave the best 4 quarter effort of any team against us last week.

Hoping Suns can get the job done today, not much of a crowd by the looks of things.

Theyโ€™re in the game just so panicked kicking inside 50, many times now theyโ€™ve bombed off one step to no-one when they had far more time!

The Suns having a dip. Unlike the Crows last night i think they can sustain this for 4 quarters

ย 

Freo facing their first real threat in the Suns up there.

The Melbourne boys were all pretty bullish on Gold Coast after playing them. I trust their football judgment, and Fremantle play a lot like Melbourne.

Even though the Suns have had some bad losses this year I reckon the fact the Suns play honest football these days means other teams can cut them up but teams that play properly like Melbourne and Fremantle will struggle a little more to get over the top of them.

Looks like Dew wants to keep his job. This opens up the eight for some more changes if they hang on

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullartonโ€™s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Caseyโ€™s three matches and, with Melbourneโ€™s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next weekโ€™s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forwardโ€™s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasnโ€™t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the teamโ€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneโ€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.ย There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight.ย Since that game, the Demonsโ€™ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where theyโ€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the โ€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayโ€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
