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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
