The one thing that all my Essendon mates say is “we have a young list, what do you expect - we’ve just got to put games into them”. It’s rubbish.

Shout out to @WheeloRatings, but Essendon are at the AFL mean (25.9 years) and only 0.2 years younger than us, which isn’t that impressive when you think we have Ben Brown (31), TMac (31) and Gawn (32) playing.

Absolutely time for the focus and commentary on their culture to be turned up.

    So where was the great Essendon edge. It was more like watching thomas the tank engine having tea and scones with emily.

    Precisely Dl4e.

    As Goody said. You can talk about culture. It's only actions that count. Our team has it in spades.

    20th anniversary of no bomber finals wins here we come.

    Bombers early draft picks don't appear to be developing. Cox is the reincarnation Cale Morton. Zach Reid is always injured, Durham and Hobbs are handy, haven't seen much of Tsatas (2022 pick 5). Perkins is the only one you could say will be a 200 gamer.

    The recruitment team should be copping a lot of heat down at the Hangar

    Brad Scott said the game was a good wake up call for his team.

    i’d be furious if my coach said that after a 70 pt smashing

    Did I just hear BT say this has been an inspiring start to the season by Ken Hinkley???

    Imagine anyone saying this about Goodwin?! Even though he has had a great start despite all the pressure and off field stuff. The only time he is mentioned in the media is unsubstantiated off field nonsense year after year

    Nothing like beating West Coast, Richmond and Essendon. And then, wait, what’s that? Losing to an actual contender at home.

    Hinkley sitting on the bench again, just looking like a turtle. He really doesn’t wreak inspiration or motivation. 

    I take your point @Ethan Tremblay. But what I also see is a guy who delegates well and trusts his lieutenants and players.

    The climax and best part of the night is watching Brad Scott in his presser. 
     

    looking fwd to the resting angry face…. 

    For me, Brad Scott and 'climax' is an oxymora, but I take your point @Demonsterative

    You don't need a tape measure Brian. It's about 1 and a half inches.

    I saw an interview with Goodwin before the season and he was asked again about our culture.
    He replied with a steely eye something like our culture is 2nd to none and when the season starts we plan to "Show 'em what this footy club is about."
    Was wondering at the time if it was abit of false bravado especially after having our pants pulled down by the swans in Rd1.
    But here he is.
    Got all the guns on the ground, sitting at 4-1 and looking like they're on a mission.

    Dwelling in the esoteric here but Robbo has always reminded me of the loud drunken slob journalist GURU BRAMIN  from the crazy 60’s comedy film THE LOVED ONE. The perfect real life channeling fiction portrayal.

    Our win v Port looks very good after tonight. We were lucky not to come up against JHF, he is a very important player for them.

    It was still a good game.
    And I'll tip it'll be a good game next time too.
    Just reckon their little mids got tired of running into our fleet of bulls all night.
    They really could've used HF at stoppages.
    BOG tonight I hear.
     

    Just as we could do with a fully fit Oliver

    So good to see Melbourne on top of the ladder even if it’s due to extra games played.

    On top of that Melbourne Storm are currently on top as well!

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
