    Not really, much like the rest of the news, it depends where you choose to get your opinions from. 😅

    Indeed.

    I expected we would win.

    So certainly not against the odds from where I sit.

    Essendon are pretenders, their gameplan will not hold up in finals. Unbelievable run so far, still beat no-one other than the Giants when they were in a massive form slump.

    That's as good as any win this year with No.22 doing his best to get the Peptides back from the death.

    22 should be sent to the country leagues and never heard or seen from again.

    And clearly they paid off the umpires

    Thoughts on the non selection of a ruck?

    That was bizarre umpiring in the last 5 minutes.

    For example the bombers throwing the ball all night and they pluck one out of nowhere against rivers.

     

    Plus the Kozzie 50 meters - his many more times did that happen but no penalty?

    Thanks to the AFL ring masters and their dodgy fixture that's set up to manufacture preferred outcomes and the finals pecking order.

    The umpires tried to snatch it in the end, but no dice!! 

    GREAT WIN! My takeaways:

    - I think we saw a rebirth for the team against the Lions. Great pressure for the whole game. Intense. Belief.

    - The kids are the future. Disco kicking big goals, McVee’s skills in the wet, Kozzie doing things only he can. Rivers continues to step up. Windsor had another cracker. Great vision and speed. Kolt, love his grit. 

    - WITHOUT Trac and Gawn. No axtual ruck. This is our character. 

    - The bombers are FRAUDS and CHEATS! I’m glad we helped to show them up and help them back down the ladder (although their soft draw will continue to help). 

    - How good was Langdon?

    - How missed was Melksham?? 

    Great night, always love beating these mugs. Only disappointment was not winning by 40+ but I can live that that. 

    HERE WE COME!!!! 🔥💙❤️

    I had a great feeling about this one coming in but didn't want to mozz it. Even without Gawn our pressure game has really lifted the last couple of weeks and playing the kids instead of NQR journeyman has given the team a real shot of energy/enthusiasm. Plus Essendon are flakey, they crumble under pressure.

    Dunno how we'll go for the rest of the year but if we keep getting games into the kids, keep giving midfield minutes to Riv and Koz and keep giving Roo more time up forward with Melksham and Fritsch I think we are in decent shape moving forward.

    Sweet win.

    Lost the clearances.

    Lost the tackle count.

    Kick count

    Hit outs 

    Marks

    Handball count

    Free kicks

    Inside 50 s too

    But a sweet sweet sweet win.

    Oliver and Anb really stood tall in the second half.

    Shout out to Disco as well.

    Kozzie nice 100.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      It's finally Game Day and the Demons, under new head coach Steven King, will run out onto the field with a new looking lineup and a brand new midfield when they take on the Kangaroos this afternoon at Casey.
