AMW awesome first qtr

Fabulous first half?

Nibbla's role on a rampagaing Merrett 💪🏼

What a diff a Milkshake makes!

And that Disco inferno!  Burn baby burn


My hat goes off to Nibbler.

Merritt could have been so damaging, but was kept reasonably quiet, particularly in the 2nd and 3rd quarters

Nibbler's fitness and ability to put on pressure was immense

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. Jolt, 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!!!! 🔥💙❤️

Essendon are a danger to lose against the Crows next week.

I think the rain forcing centre square throwups must or should have been a great advantage to Draper.  The bad bounces are so random it takes away some of his natural advantages.

Indeed.

I expected we would win.

So certainly not against the odds from where I sit.

I tipped us so that counts as having faith 

How [censored] good was that. Without our two greatest players, 8 point game, our kids dominated. We are suddenly looking ominous.


Great win, loved the effort, who cares about the last 5 mins. I am concerned about sparrow, bowser and Salem very ordinary and liabilities

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.

 

The umpiring is an absolute joke, they did what they could to get the Bombers back in it - I don't think they favour teams, they just get caught up with the crowd/momentum and err on the side of the team making the comeback.

Bunch of pea hearts the Peptides,

front running 💩

Credit to McKay.

They would have been list without him.

A thought experiment.

Imagine taking draper and Merrett out of the bombers team tonight (the equivalent of gawn and tracc).

 

I do not understand how that wasn’t a 50 to Lever at the end of the game, and I was going ballistic, and a security guard came over and told me to calm down, and everyone around us told him to [censored] off.

And people say Melbourne supporters are soft. We look after our own.

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.

100%.
Love watching the young fellas go about their business.
Got abit of excitement about 'em.
And they can all kick .... Amazing.
 

Huge win! Last 5-10 minutes aside we were easily the better team tonight. To do that without our two best players was massive.

My personal standouts were Rivers and Langdon. Rivers looks set to be a gun midfielder. There barely seems to be a weakness in his game. Langdon easily had his best game in two years. He seemed to be on the decline early in the year but he's gradually returning to his old self.

Onwards and upwards! We're 10-7 and 6th, anything can happen from here.

Same here.

My right foot was playing up something shocking all day.

Judd mcvee is a 200 gamer right? Right?? 
 

He is an absolute star and seeing that [censored] stringer getting absolutely towelled up was just so amazing to see.

Heart and soul.

His critical defensive effort inside the bombers' 50 late in the first that started a scoring chain, ending with koz's goal was so important.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
