Always enjoyable belting west coast. Thoroughly dislikeable mob.

    That score review guy needs to be fired. Looked like a goal to me, at worst it was worth a closer look. I'll be bringing this up in August if percentage becomes a factor! Plainly unprofessional.

    Good solid scrappy win. A 10 goal margin was probably about par. Grundy is a freak of nature.

    Well it wasn't pretty but we got the Easter eggs.

    Vineys back and so is Fritta.

    Grundy still going gangsters.

    Tmac has returned and Kozzie out for 2 weeks could have kicked six.

    McVee and Hiibberd great in our baxkline.

    Using our wings again to create opportunities. 

    Any win against eagle supporters is a goid one.

    Petty back behind the ball, BBB up forward

    For all the whining about the umpires (not entirely unjustified), we won the free kick count 22 to 16.

    Completely justified in fact. No advantage that I could see to either team, there was just simply no consistency. I use the cliché reluctantly, but the adjudicating out there was a raffle. For evidence, just look at the centre bounce ‘call backs’ alone. It’s an embarrassment to the game.

    Good to see tmac find some form and jvr snag a couple. Fritsch oozing pure class as usual. Nice percentage boost and no injuries.

    bring on the bombers

    Grundy slowly hitting vintage AA form. Imagine Pies fans watching that.

    They carp on about the fact that if they kept Grundy, they couldn't have brought in 4 players during the trade period, being McStay, Hill, Mitchell and God knows who else.

    It's quality, not quantity filth fans.

    Salem should take Bowey’s spot IMO. 

    Salem should earn his way back through the VFL at this point. 2021 was a long time ago now, and he hasn't played too well in over a year (not his fault - but true all the same).

    McVee won’t be back at Casey anytime soon. Love his balance and composure. JJ looked very good when he came on. Chandler is now a fixture. JVR is a beast. A lot to like.

    Petty was probably our one negative from the day. Never looked settled in the forward line, lost some easy one-on-ones and was moved back to defence.

    Think BBB might have to bide his time at Casey until the opportunity presents itself

    Memo to AFL

    If you're going to do goal line reviews get a camera and a replay that inserts the goal line

    that shot on the final score was atrocious

    Maybe we worry about Salem when he’s ready to return …

    That 50m penalty against Hunter was one of the worst I have seen.

    Was Hibberd injured? AFL app says so but I didn’t hear the commentators mention anything during the 4th quarter?

    No. Subbed out in the last for JJ. Not injured. Just managed.

    Love Chandler's efforts, works hard in the forward 50 but runs back just as hard in defence. 

    He doesn't want to give up that spot any time soon by the looks.

    Very true, spent Easter with some Filth fans (the things you do for family peace...).  They were adamant that it was a good call to get rid of Grundy and that they'd be fine even with Cox out.  Said it's better to have players all on the same pay packet rather than someone on more like Grundy.

    Essentially what Collingwood saved getting rid of Grundy only paid for McStay.

    Great professional win.

    McVee, Grundy, Fritta, TMac, Viney, Hunter, Rivers, Sparrow all good.

    Must keep JVR in. 
    Might be a game changer for Trac’s confidence in front of goals.

    Didn't really notice but no doubt Clarrie had plenty.

    • 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.

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
