Not sure about everyone else but kicking a point isnโ€™t advantage?

They should never call advantage so close to goal. Just let the team take a set shot.

Kayo having a mare. Just work dammit!

Is it crashing for you as well? I thought it was my nbn down at Phillip Island.

It's been flawless here for me. Maybe try restarting whatever device it is you're watching on?

Done that 10 times already. 

 

Bummers will continue to run and gun. We need to get our hands on it a lot more.

Would be good if the midfield could play the whole 4 quarters without lapses in concentration.


I've never seen Clarrie start a game with 2 touches in the first.

Fine start for Essendon they should be really proud of that effort. Draper scorching us in the ruck and if Petty is really hurt then they could really exploit that weakness down back.

Great kick from Melksham to steal one back before QT but these guys need a rocket up their behind.

We need to keep backing our ball movement because once we break the centre line the Bombers are very susceptible. Get stuck in and win more contested footy to shield the backs and we can easily get back in this.

If you take the advantage it is, miss the goal stiff 

We didn't take advantage, the foul was called after Grundy had disposed of the ball. Hard for Kozzy to know if he should kick or not.

Him and Trac need to really lift. Not good enough.

Damn. Hope it improves for the rest of the game for you.

I'm 5 km from the Adelaide Oval and there's no wind at all, so I don't know where you are. It's not raining. In fact, perfect conditions for footy. BB will play. There won't be any changes for weather.

Might have changed your mind ..windy ..a bit of rain & no BB ๐Ÿค”

Shocking defence efforts but very efficient forward line entries -  almost the opposite of last season -  our backs need to get head in the contest and mids work harder defensively 


Mids need to get involved more just letting the bombers have to many unpressured entries fwd  

Letโ€™s hope the coaches have sorted some of that [censored] out.

Petty and Tomlinson stinking it up 

One of the results of playing Petty up forward for most of the year?

They are playing with a really high defense. Just have Rivers and Sparrow kick to space behind their last line of defence, get Kozzy, JVR and Milkshake work on ground.

 

1st 

fumbles very costly 

Bombers spare defensive across half back is very good (Scott 1 Goodwin 0)

Draper causing problems 

Oliver 2 touches ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคฎ

Parish 13 disposals ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”

Pickett nearly dangerous ๐Ÿคฉ

Fritsch ๐Ÿ’™โค๏ธ

Good news is that they canโ€™t play much better and we have much we can improve on. Not losing to those cheats in Adelaide.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. Itโ€™s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this yearโ€™s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • 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 sideโ€”the Tigersโ€”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 โ€œtheyโ€ 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.Itโ€™s no secret that the Demonsโ€™ 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 Bryanโ€™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.
