I swear there used to be a story every preseason that the package has got himself fit and is going to dominate this year… then he never did and he never did and they’ve finally stopped writing those articles. 

The only thing the “Package” 🤮 has done in pre season is eat McDonalds and apparently take up a new religion.

Judd McVee could possibly be the most underrated player in the comp.

Composure of the kid is unbelievable.

Not in the best five MFC players on the ground according to the AFL website. Personally, I thought he was BOG.

Ridiculously underrated, which is fine by me

Wakefield-Moniz may not have been among the standouts tonight, but for my money he has already shown enough to suggest he's a better prospect than either Woewodin or Laurie. Any thoughts?

Well this completes a perfect sport weekend so far.

Pies lose last night, Dogs win today and Dees tonight. 


I'd like the peanut who declared game over when we were 2 goals down in the first quarter to put his hand up. Also IRW who declared just wait until next week , I'm here where are you, of course you won't be because we won. Or should I call you Dr. Death.

Yep, keep those vultures from the West away from our star player. Ditto JVR.

Some other thoughts: Melksham has made such a difference that I'm starting to think his ACL might have cost us a flag.

2 goals, 3 goal assists (Kolt & Merrett had 2 each and no one else had more than 1), went at 83% disposal efficiency. No way we lose both those finals last year if he plays.

Definitely Laurie, I still have faith in Taj.

Melksham’s ACL and Maynard being a POS cost us a flag last year. Nobody will convince me otherwise. 

Great win Dees. Hard at it. Counted 5 or 6 Essendon players that didn’t really want the ball when the heat came. No wonder that haven’t won a final for 20 years. 
 

Go Dees!

 Petty was there also.

By there, do you mean present?

We were basically down a player with him on the ground. Didn't win a 1v1 all night.

 

Congrats to the on ball brigade and defenders who got us this win.

Form an orderly queue to make your apologies to Goody here please… 

Getting some vomit reacts on this, and I just want to say that’s ok - if you feel so ill about things you’ve said about Goody and his team selection this week that you can’t type a react is perfectly adequate ❤️

Whoah hold off, I’ve done one of those things and it wasn’t a new religion.

Why do Journalists in the press conference, on camera, think jeans a hoodie and a beanie is acceptable…?

It’s your job! Its not home based teams calls during COVID.. [censored]!!

For the love of God, please put Petty back next week!

Back to Casey? Yes please 🙏

Special praise for Van Rooyen for outstanding effort in  the ruck, which helped turn the tide after Petty's woeful first-quarter effort.

Add Petty's underwhelming performances as a forward and his trade value must have dropped by at least 50 per cent this season.

Maybe he  needs to return to the backs to move his game forward.

I called petty's ruck a joke selection. Turns out I was right.

I love goody but tonight a never say die team and magnificent youngsters got us over the line. Against what we all know are pretenders with no spine. That's a quote from a bombers fan sitting next to me. He's shattered again.

No way can we risk this structure against freos midfield on a dry track.

I have us 5th in two rounds from now.

because it really doesn't matter what they are wearing

 

Go you redlegs!

Goody coached the pants off Brad Scott, who is no slouch himself.

Smashed them in clearances - 12+. The ruck role is seriously the most overrated role in the game.

Anyway, beautiful around the ground stoppage set ups, massive props to McQualter too. We consistently set everyone up on the back of the contest knowing we could either hit the contest hard from there or stop their chaining out in the opposite direction. Such good coaching.

Windsor and McVee are going to be elite players. JT is a genius. Both are so clean at ground ball. And if you can do that in the driving rain, you can always do it. Serious talents. Kolt showed some really good signs. Kozzy so dangerous around stoppage and his forward pressure was sublime. Rivers' early disposal was pretty iffy, but he knows how to win the contest and knows where to go to win the ball. I think with more time in there, his disposal under heat will get better.

That's 5 guys 22 or under who are starting to majorly impact games every week. Add JVR to that conversation too, and Bowser and AMW are playing their roles too.

The decision to play Petty was vindicated and when Petty struggled in the centre bounces early, Disco hitting the scoreboard meant we could afford JVR in the ruck more.

I was more confident about tonight than next week, but we've put ourselves back in with a chance of not only playing finals, but ridiculously, top 4.

Let's see how we go.

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?
