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.

    They gave us a run for our money without Horn-Francis.

    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

    The worst is when he says something like:

    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!

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
