Kind of hoping for an Essendon win against the Odds to add another layer to shambles that club is.

And be nice send off for Rutten who seems an entirely decent bloke...

Deserves a good send off. Stick it up those cowboys 

I reckon Rutten is cut from the Goodwin cloth but Essendon is about 35 years behind Melbourne in its realization of where they are, what the competition is these days, and what they need to do to be successful again. It took Melbourne a very long time to understand it doesn't just "happen", and Essendon are in the same boat now (and have been for the last 20 years).

Long may it continue - happy to see them stuck in the Essendon equivalent of Melbourne circa the mid-80s forever.

If you're looking for a way to get hammered tonight, have a drink every time a Channel 7 camera cuts to a shot of Ben Rutten in the coaches box.

I never need a reason to get hammered D'stone ........ nonetheless you make an excellent point.


Decided to watch the showdown as these games are always entertaining, particularly when you live in Adelaide and dont give a dame with either team.

Dees v Freo and Cats v Swans would be my preferred QF scenario. 

Would rather the inverse because that way, this will be the most likely Preliminary Final scenario - a more desired outcome

Jeelong just make me sick 

Particularly when Hudson, Dwayne or Whately are calling. It is just pure projectile vomit. 

kelli underwood too

she can give the full history of the reg hickey stand

I've never been more uninspired by a minor premier as I am of Geelong. I can't wait to beat them.

Showdown is a ripper so far


Who is the F wit on 5aa commentating 

I have never heard such bias towards the PAP

it’s worse than 3GL!!!

It irritates me to see players that have clearly practised or been taught how to milk frees

Prime example. Being tackled from behind while standing and just falling forwards on purpose to draw an in the back

I’ve never seen a worse number 2 than Brisbane

Jeez, those Tigger's jumpers look like something you'd hand out to an under 12's or Auskick team.

Yes. They are just awful (but they did win a 🏆 in them as I recall).

Exactly.  Gifted scheduling, shonky home ground, totally entitled, DH of a coach….. but no strong match training going into finals May (hopefully) see them out in straight sets

I reckon Broad ran off Hurley to leave him free to mark and goal.  Footy has a heart.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
