Everyone complaining about Kayo. Pay a bit extra a month for Foxtel. Better value and a better overall football experience.

Anyway, Essendon got 4 goals either directly from free kicks or from free kicks up the ground. Most probably there but debateable given they weren't called both ways.

They are targeting our backline because of no Lever, pretty obvious.

Their strings of possesion were very concerning. Especially given they aren't a very fast team.

Draper tearing us up is giving me an aneurysm. If Stringer gets involved next, I'll vomit.

    We have a few worries but are only a only eight points down. The resting ruckman for Essendon is causing problems isolating Tomlinson.

    When van Roo rucks we're getting thrashed in the middle.

    Petty's form and now injury is a big concern.

    TMac looks off.

    McVee probably needs to use the first option.

    Brayshaw doing very well.

    Clarry only two possessions at quarter time. Unprecedented!

     

    We look lazy and entitled at times.

    They are getting a lot of momentum from free kicks (most of them are deserved but hard to maintain that over 4 quarters)

    Our stars and match winners need to lift.

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

    Exactly, they can't keep scoring from centre clearance surely

    It’s a lot more money. Money we can’t afford. I can barley justify $30 for Kayo.

    Melksham kicking a bag against the Bombers would make a win that bit more special.

    Wasn't sure about Melksham but boy was I wrong.

    I had Kayo for a month and then got rid of it. Pathetic service

    Oliver having a mare. What is happening?

    Petty stinking it up too. Not good enough. 

    Grundy not on the line, he really runs his own race

    Setterfield did a number on him at Carlton last year too I think. 

    Can't rely on the back 6 today, need to win the midfield battle

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
