jacko up to 4 disposals now with a metres gained of -23

Freo unimpressive, both sides super scrappy with lots of skill errors 

I think it’s safe to say that none of the teams who played today will go on to win trophies this year… unless we consider a wooden spoon a trophy.

sometimes a unicorn is just a horse with a cone stuck to its forehead

Guess that why I haven’t noticed him.   Though it on in the background while more interesting are being done 

Dorks have no choice but to have a big cleanout and play the kids 😀

Bombers will win the day but I back Mitchell to fare better than Scott in the long run.  First year taking over a big club... don't overachieve.  Rutten snuck into finals and then they expected top 4 and he was sacked. Logic doesn't come into it

Mitchell will play kids, tinker with game plans and has already traded a lot of senior players (tank). will pick up high draft picks.  when Hawks win 8-10 games next year it will be seen a success for him

Meanwhile Scott will be under pressure

Playing too many kids is fraught with danger.  Especially so these days

Need to surround kids with experienced talent. That's the tried and true method (and template)

Even the much vaunted '93 baby bombers had quite a number of experienced players in the team

So did the Hawks bring in players like Vince & Cross as we did?  Later on we brought in players with 3-5 years experience like Melksham & Hibberd, Lever etc 

In fact, our recruitment of experienced talent goes a little unnoticed as compared to the gun young talent we recruited from the various draft's

7012 at GWS v Crows R1 blockbuster.

Another great AFL corporate success story. 

Dont believe they have thousands of payed up members.

Bombers on top, take a photo Essendon fans 


Bombers fans should enjoy what might be the high point of their season.

They've got Suns, Saints & GWS all in Melbourne coming up.

They'll be top for a while yet sadly.

So Essenscum are on top of the ladder. Vomit.

Perhaps that's good. Builds up false expectations in their fan base before they meet the Melbourne buzzsaw.

Hard to find a better snapshot of knuckleheads and halfwits.

Have they still got the same banners?

"Inject me Dank"

"THE WEAPON"

"I'm anti-vax but pro-unapproved peptides"

That's them. You're all over it Dub!

Hawthorn are likely bottom 2. Glad Essendon can have fun beating them. 

Fremantle meanwhile struggling to deal with an injury-riddled bottom 6 St Kilda. Not a great start to their supposed “Flagmantle” season. 

 

I'm in transit so can only take a quick glance at stats.

Q1 is Jackson playing for or ruck because he has no stats for either position.

Q2 is Fyfe okay?

I'm loving that the bombers are going to the their hopes up with a few early wins

 

meanwhile Freo...  must be Ross's tactics.  Check out the Saints fwd line or lack there of

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
