So the Bombers are with out their key fwd, yet through quick ball movement and low direct kicking to a leading fwd they can find targets that aren’t deep in the pocket?

    Essendon have a ruck dominance similar to what we had last night. Doesn't look to be helping them either at centre bounces.

    Noticed Gawn thumped it forward a couple of times and also took the ball out of the ruck.

    We need to work out how to make use of such dominance as does Essendon

    That's been a Melbourne problem for as long as I can remember.

    Yep exactly.

    Bloody hard for the likes of BBB and JVR if the ball movement is slow and bombed in

    This game is being played at a frantic pace.

    They'll be out on their feet by the last. 

    Will be interesting to see who is fitter.

    An actual sell-out or a gather round "sell-out"?

    Wow , we almost got to half time before they showed Peter Daicos on screen and talked about how amazing it is he gets to watch BOTH sons play for the pies.

    WE GET IT.

    Every Pies game is a Daicos wankfest. Media frothing for him to win the Brownlow. Umps probably on board too.

    Ripper contest. 

    Our beautiful game shines through when those yellow clowns get out of the way and stop blowing the whistle so much.

    The last quarter and a half they've hardly got involved and it's awesome to watch even though I really dislike both teams.

    Is this the best Anzac Eve - Anzac Day combo since its inception in 2015?

    Great game of footy. 

    If it continues at this pace, everyone will tire, and it becomes a big man's game. At this point Essendon's rucks might make the difference, like Gawn and Grundy did last night in the last quarter. 

    If the Pies win, my tipping is 9/9. I loathe Essendon. I hope the Pies win, but I feel impure typing it.

    Carlton - St Kilda was a tough pick, I chose the losing side.

    Then I went too bold and picked North to upset GC.

    The running game by both teams (Pies more so) is something to admire.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
