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

    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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
