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"?

    Absolutely cracker of a contest at the moment. Crucial 1 on 1's everywhere.

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
