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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
