If we play like this for the rest of the season, even if we can make finals, I will have a very happy face.

    Very reminiscent of our second quarter against Brisbane two weeks ago. Let's just hope we maintain it this time.

    Rivers is literally the complete package as a midfielder. Tough, quick, dynamic and a powerful kick. Love him.

    Look we knew it would be an uphill battle in the ruck, but credit to Goodwin for cobbling something together with Petty, Turner and Roo. I feel Roo has kind of had to be called in because Petty's pretty hopeless unfortunately.

    Great work to break even and even win the contests in the 2nd quarter. Hoping the weather stays poor because Essendon's running handball game has cut us to pieces when they've been able to implement it.

    Anyone claiming that Max's ruck work isn't very good need look no further than how ineffective Petty is as a ruck.

    Getting a bath by Draper

    Might help him to have clean hands?

    yes, hearing it is the same finger... being strapped and boarded i think

    • Thanks 1

    Whatever happens (and I know a loss is the end of the world for some), we have found a few players who can carry us forward. I.e. I would never have picked Trent to be so impactful in the middle. I'm sure some may have. I wasn't one.

    Looked like he had it kicked early in the 1st qtr.
    No free for In Danger of course.

    Much better quarter. Stopped Ess run on the outside, lots of pressure on the man causing the fumble.

    JVR much better in the ruck that quarter. Not getting pushed off the ruck contest

    JVR is jumping into Draper and being more physical than Petty

    My PCA won’t administer anymore painkillers for an hour. Hope it’s not a stressful second half.

    The mousetrap is working.

    so far... so good.

    Petty very lift up as a Full Forward, he could be the match winner.

    Essendon got a few run and carries through the middle, but our defensive stifled almost all of them. Great effort all over the park. Viney and Clarry working so so hard. Windsor and Langdon playing well, and have clamped down on Duursma. Rivers and McVee - brilliant. 

    And a BIG tick to JVR who negated the curtain maker.

    It ain't pretty but we are doing well.

    Rivers is a revelation in the middle.

    good first half, especially when the rain came (Nice to see).

    We seem to be playing to the conditions and getting it forward and apply pressure.

    The most important question is, can we now sustain this for the second half.

     

    lets go boys...

    They never call kick in danger anymore, stupid AFL like chaos football and let players kick anytime anywhere.

    We need to start turning the sprinklers on before the game and during quarter breaks at home games.

    McVee is absurd in the wet.

    Rivers... what an absolute gun.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
