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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
