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".

Edited by Demon Dynasty

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.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • PREGAME: Fremantle

    After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
