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

  • 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 sideโ€”the Tigersโ€”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?ย I mean by โ€œtheyโ€ 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.Itโ€™s no secret that the Demonsโ€™ 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.ย 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 Bryanโ€™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 winningย 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.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
