    16 goals 7 

    that's how you win games of footy

    Yep Hawthorn aim to score at the apex of the 50 metre arc. The most direct route to goal

    I hope eternal that one day the MFC will do the same

    Richo is no Rhodes scholar.

    He reckons every team should play in OR. 

    What would the next round be called?

    Absolutely, wasn't arguing otherwise.

    You still have to get inside 50 but.

    Which is basically what hoyne said in the segment being discussed

    I reckon the percentage of games won in the 2-3 last seasons by teams having fewer inside 50s than their opponent would be vanishingly small (and yes I know the lions won the flag with 2 less inside 50s).

    And I'd add that one thing that hasn't changed is pressure is critical and the team thay applies most pressure is more likely to win (though pies in 2023 were an outlier in this regard).

    Horethorn have just beaten Essendrugs with fewer inside 50s. It would be interesting to get the trend over the last 2-3 season - agreed.

    Uh what a shame. Essendon lose. 

    My god McGrath had a mare tonight.  Sometimes it's hard to believe he went #1

    my cousin is convinced it's the curse of the bringhton grammar school #1

    watts and mcgrath are both super ordinary selections in hindsight

    At first glance the only three words I read in that tweet were "Langford officially out" and I [censored] myself.

    It’s funny how the censorship, while being very good and necessary, makes it impossible to tell whether you [censored] yourself, or you [censored] yourself.

    Both of which have very different meanings both literally and figuratively. 
    I’m guessing that you were worried about our team for Sunday?

    Meanwhile - on the Essendrugs thread over at Big Footy . . .Well, at least we made Carlton supporters feel a bit better tonight.

    Yep. Exception and rule and all that.

    By the by the bombers defence is pathetic - both in terms of system and personelle.

    Bombers had plenty taking short steps, Hawks also have many routes to goal. The other thing that was scary is Essendon tried hard early, and Hawks consistently trusted players to do the job without crowding the ball.
     

    No offense to QD but Inside 50 is the most ridiculous stat btw, uncontested marks inside 50, that says something about offensive power or lack of defense.

    Thought there was not much difference in effect of having already played, and a first up team.

    Essendon, scramble and long down the line kicks, versus a precise disposal and swarming game, with the good use of space by Hawks.

    Well we've had 7 teams play in these 4 H&A matches. Every team that won their pre-season game has lost and every one that lost theirs is atop the ladder unbeaten.

    If we go by the following new format, every team will have played each twice by Round 16, thus solving the fixture inequalities :laugh: 🤪

    Sorry folks, but I do not think Hawthorn will make the eight.

    The question is whether Essendon is that bad? Possibly yes and have not improved their team.

     Now I hate them almost as much as Collingwood.

    Both supporter bases are interchangeable nuffies.
    Collingwood are special tho'.

    Went to Victoria Park once.
    Walking up to the gate I had a retarded bloke in a black'n white wheelchair tell us to "Fork off Melbourne." while flipping the weirdest bird I'd ever seen.
    For a kid raised at the MCG I was flabbergasted.
    Then had to watch 'em overrun a 27pt 3/4 time lead.
    I thought the Zulus we're comin'.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
