Carlton forwards are a protected species. 

Because they play in front hope our forwards are watching.

 

Blues midfield and forwards are rather scary, and do seem to connect very nicely.

I seriously hope that our team is watching this tonight - preferably as a group with Goodwin commenting. (Or they could be out at France-Soir )

Also there midfield delivers it to them properly as opposed to ours at the moment who are just bombing the ball in


Bombers really are an average outfit ... defensively they are nowhere near AFL level

Their average score against is 97 points which means they have to score 14 or 15 goals just to break even.  The Blues could have finished them off in that 3rd quarter

It's no longer an attack based game so I'm not sure the Bombers coaching staff are up to speed

By contrast our average score against is 62 points, Freo is also sitting at 62 points with the Saints averaging 70 points against

apologies I had thought it would be censored. 

not bagging the mods either

Stringer doesn't look fit enough to play VFL.  a bloke of his talent, honestly he has elite talent, but some blokes just don't have the desire to be great.  Dogs did well getting rid of him

Grossly overrated, and presumably grossly overpaid.  Doesn't seem to have his heart in it.

Brilliant footballer, and if he ever gets fit or actually gives a @#$%, he could tear things apart. 

Carlton has fantastic disposal. Ours is nowhere near theirs. Their forwards lead and make space and the ball is put out in front of them. 

Essendrug lack grunt through the middle & defence is real shabby.

About the only player that occasionally shows something is Shiel but its more outside silk than grunt from him.

Their talls are an upgrade on ours, for sure, but the Bombers are giving them acres of room tonight.

Happy150th Birthday LOSERS !!!

🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳

Huge LOLZZZZZZ


To their credit the Bombers fought it out but the game was over at half time

They defended better across the ground but could only score 2 goals after half time ... they leak too many goals. 

Voss wasn't happy with the Blues at 3/4 time but they shut the game down quite well in the last

Our best beats Carlton by 5 or 6 goals from what I witnessed tonight

How they got any more than their 150th as a Friday night match is disturbing.

Talk about ho hum

Essendon are a rabble

Carlton are a good team

Can they be great? Not with their current defence, not a chance.

Take this with a grain of salt but i heard from a mate (who supposedly  knows someone close to the club lol) that on his first meeting with the group he allegedly told them...

"Anyone who doesn't put their head over the f'n ball won't be getting a game at this club".

Happy 150th birthday losers. Gee won't rutten be popular tomorrow night at the dinner. Misiti was on mmm football before the game and didn't sound to enthused about the current regime.

Essendon wanted to play Carlton on the big stage tonight for there 150th. Heppells pregame speech didn't really work.

Well the long weekend has started well with the bummers losing, lets hope we finish off the long weekend with a win.

Voss was quite animated at 3/4 time ... something you don't always see these days

I reckon all the coaches can go old school occasionally.  Meetings and game plans are ultra important but the players still need to be switched on and motivated

Mmmm . if we can reassemble our defence, our midfield and our team defensive efforts.  And of course connect with our forwards.

Will be interesting to see if umpires try to even up the free kick count. They have said they aren’t told free kick stats during the game. I don’t believe it. I will back Bombers to get more frees this half or otherwise it will be the topic of the week.

Easiest bet I could have won. Bombers 10 frees to Blues 5 frees in second half.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
