Gee, Peter Wright knows now to kick a football. Bombers well back in this contest after a shaky start.

    Lots more opposition coaches now coaching from interchange bench copying Goodwin and Fagan who were the only ones doing it last season. Today both Rutten and Longmuir coaching from the bench as was Beveridge the other day. Must be a trend to think it might be advantageous since Melbourne and Brisbane are top of the ladder.

    Help if the swans could kick properly

    Don’t know, a Swans loss could be handy to us.

    Essendon has become very reactive.

    Essendon are showing why execution in play and finishing when you get your opportunities are so important.

    The Swans have played all over them, but have sprayed their shots six ways from Sunday. 

    If Essendon had connected a few more kicks moving through the corridor, they’d be one or three goals up.

    I'm barracking for Essendon, I have a hot shower with lots of soap after. Chance of only one game between 1st and 7th if results go the wrong way this weekend.

    It would be embarrassing if Essendon beat Sydney and we couldn't

    No it wouldn't. Swans have beaten themselves today because of inaccurate kicking

    genuinely torn between the scum keeping the Swans further from us on the ladder, or for them to kick a goal at the death robbing the Bomber fans of acwin

    Folks. We all hate Essendon. That goes without saying

    But we're not going to cut off our nose to spite our face. Better for us if the Swans lose.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
