The best part of the last few weeks has been the emergence of some of our youngsters. 

Oh and by the way Essendrug are a pack of front running soft buddies who couldn't run through wet lettuce.

I watched tonight, just to enjoy watching young players developing.

The win was a bonus, and we get to see the future!

 

Good kicking is good football. Liked (most of) the set shots.

Post some more please. We could do with less mindless negativity on here.

Some of the best posters here are the ones who never post..


People if you wat a good laugh then go over to bomberblitz and read the review vs dees. They aare 100% worse than us after a loss.

Which were mainly off the back off JVR workhorse performance and our mids working around him.

Petty was absolutely horrendous tonight. Even Goody acknowledged that by throwing JVR into the ruck into the second quarter that turned the game for us. Our own senior coach is pretty much admitting that Petty was crud in the ruck.

But of course you think his performance was justified because why wouldn't you..

In the centre square, he was ordinary as a ruck, particularly in the first half... as I acknowledged in my first post. 

I'm watching the replay now and his follow up work around the ground is fine.

So we beat Essendon… meh.

🥱

OK I'm in london & just saw the scores. Oh my god I'm so happy.

How did we win this?

How did we go in the ruck?

Maybe we need to trust goody and his plans.

Go dees. What a weekend,  pies lose and so do the bummers

Carlton lost as well 😍

Plenty of nuffies around.  This is your post after last year's finals loss to Carlton.

 ...If McDonald ever pulls on a dees jumper again I'll eat my fist...

How's that typing with one hand working out for you?

 

Touche

Credit where credit is due, he's reinvented himself.

Ironically it's McDonald keeping Petty out of d50.

I was all for the Petty ruck situation but he completely lost me after the first quarter. 

Even Goody said that initially the plan wasn't to have JVR rucking as much as he did tonight but unfortunately once he matched Draper in the ruck contests that took away his/our forward strength up forward.

Thanks god for Turner, Melksham and Fritsch.

His name was Rob. I heard him too. King of the nuffies. Not many supporter groups would call up and whinge about a player after a great win. Probably one of those MCC supporters that yells kick it every seconds. No feel for the game at all.

That's not to say I'm not excited about Jefferson and I think he'll play this year.

"Man up!"

"Just kick the bloody thing!"

Demon Spirit is back in the last month. 
The kids have brought energy and it’s been infectious. 

We were loud in the stands tonight I thought.

By the way, Ben McKay is a bloody good defender for them!

He just kept clunking them and I think that's where the JVR match up would have kept him at bay had he had the luxury to play majority of his time up forward.

Good recruit for them.

Jade Gresham on the other hand.... 🥴

Essendon Football Club masquerading as an escaped circus elephant cling vicariously to fifth position on the ladder. Brad Scott although obviously disappointed will be seeking AFL guidance on future umpire selections.

Well, we're happy that your kid's going to get fed. At least for a week.

Langdon was huge tonight. A cool 30 touches and 17.4km under the belt

100% TOG. The man is superhuman. 
 

By the way, Petty returning from a horrible foot injury with 0 pre season and hamstring awareness a week ago, and is expected to ruck against a really good solid ruckman. 
The pile on is insane. 
 

Roo was always going to do better given he trained to do backup rucking all pre season under Gawn while Petty was riding a scooter with a foot in a moonboot. 


SNewport34. I hope your happy I don’t have a voice

There's a new energy within the club. Melbourne needed some renewal but I really didn't think our new lads could play at this level. Wrong. I do worry about a long season for young players. But, to be fair to Goody, he's held Disco, Koltyn and AMW back and it may work to our advantage now.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
