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.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    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.
