Look, I know this literally isn’t the right forum for me to say this but watching this I get why our defence first plan isn’t loved by the media.

It is the least fun game plan to watch, which produces the most consistent results in finals

    Bombers win this and we'll have a comfortable buffer in 4th place ... we can lose a game and stay 4th

    But if we beat the Lions and then the Crows, the teams below us could fall further behind

    In my view (even though it's always one game at a time), if we win our next 2 we'll get the double chance

    Our destiny is in our own hands so if we keep winning, it won't matter what the teams below us do

    This Essendon Crows game looks like what Basketball would be if every score had a ball up. I wish we scored more but I’d hate to see us play like this, there’s no discipline or contest. There’s a middle ground that produces much better football.

    Adelaide are so incredibly overrated. One win away from the Adelaide Oval all year, and that was Hawthorn by 3 points. 

    This is pathetic from them.

    I rewatched our 2018 finals performances vs Geelong and Hawthorn and I think if you throw May, Lever, Petty into that side you've got the Dees' 2023 premiership team and gameplan. Very attacking and high scoring with solid defence and contested ball winners - only one genuine ruckman required.

    EDIT: Having said that, the premiers for that year blew us off the park in the prelim so maybe the gameplan doesn't stack up!

    Merrett, Parish and McGrath 60 possies between then to half time.

    The difference in the Bombers and Saints is the coaching. They are essentially the same sides as last year.

    I agree with another poster, that if we can win our next two, we likely keep the double chance.

    I hope the Giants loss doesn’t come back to haunt us. Besides our woeful kicking for goal, 3 things stuffed that game for us, Fritta’s injury, that pathetic 50 and goal to Toby, against an innocent Harmes and Hunter’s stupid, jumping off the ground, head high tackle, in the Giants’ goal square.

    Bombers win helps our cause.

    Yeah but I'd still rather still see Essendon out of the 8. 

    I thought Adelaide were better than this

    Jake Stringer plays like that full forward in junior footy who went through puberty when he was 9 and just wants to run through everyone and snap at goals from anywhere.

    Bombers will jump from 9th to 5th, FFS. And the one time I wanted the Crows to do something.

    End of next round they most likely we be 9th again.

    Go Blues

    Is there anything worse than having a hundred plus thousand Bomber supporters eyeing off our fourth position.

    We'd better win next week for my sanity

    In stark contrast to the usual bottom of the barrel commentary there’s the perfect commentary team right now, Freo vs Blues. Papalia, Dal Santo, Pav and Will Schofield. 👏

    Papalia is the best in the game. Actually tells me what’s happening and not what he had for lunch in 1975 when he also kicked 3 goals.

    So good to have someone who just calls the game.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
