Agree.

Will McCreery and Crisp be looked at for dangerous tackles, I think not.

It’d be great if Crisp was rubbed out. He’s closing in on Jimma’s 244 record.

The AFL should quietly step in to ensure the Stynes legend isn’t diminished!

    not much defending going on in this game

    Yep, and it looks like it could be the Crows Kryptonite...

    EFC have looked 2nd rate yet still manage to kick 100 points.

    It's no coincidence that the flags dried up not long after the Salary Cap was introduced and they were no longer able to buy success.

    May their misery and misfortune endure for at least another thirty years.

    My bluebagger brother was bragging about all their flags until I pointed out that they bought them all; akin to boasting about getting lucky in a brothel.

    If the scum are do bad. How come they have kicked 100 points. Did Adelaide just relax

    Six or seven strong interstate teams this year. Going to be a battle for the 8 and once again the possibility of few finals in Melbourne.

    Don't think I could barrack for Hawthorn

    Now is the time, he was certainly wasted last week 

    We struggle to score and have done since Rd 10 2022, people like to throw up all different stats to support their case or shoot down someone else’s. Stats can bugger off, we can’t score naturally with the exception of Kosi. Everything feels so programmed. I watched the Dogs last night move the footy, bugger me they were good. For all of Salem’s 30 odd touches last week he is the least damaging player. Some of the hawks / dogs kicks from their back 50 to a man in space which led to a goal or scoring opportunity. It’s frustrating, then I’ll cop from someone what if we won? I’d still feel the same about certain players and the way we play because I feel we could be so much better with some tweaking of the game plan. Or is it simply our game plan is what it is because our some of our players are limited. But then I think I don’t even know a third of the dogs / hawks but they’re well drilled.

    We have a great chance of scoring well tomorrow. If we don’t the pressure will begin

    Loved seeing an open free flowing game of footy at the MCG on a sunny Saturday afternoon, but annoyed Essendon were involved. The Crows looked very good through the middle, defense and up forward. But to concede 100 points shows glaring holes in the midfield defensive running. Other top teams will tear that to pieces so it is "watch-this-space" for me about the Crows.

    I know it's MFCSS but those are the games I always dread, where we should win big but don't, or worse still, lose them!

    Well it will be goodbye to the Coach very soon if that happens 

    Good teams win regularly

    A lot of Salem’s possies come from the 20 metre to the Back Pocket kick outs, which then put us in a difficult 2nd kick possession. It stops run from the D50 as players further up the ground get manned up.

    As much as i'd like to see them come back from the bleaches again and beat these pretenders, It's gonna be a long & painful year for the Toiges me thinks

    Those young kids would have spent a lot of energy winning last week, and good luck to them. But the long grind will begin today

    Blitz is always a good read...

    Just as well we postponed the Gold Coast game or we would be 3 zip.

    Stop trying to win you are not good enough

    This is pure Essington baby. Gonna be one hell of a year.

    I wonder if the guy that delivered the horse manure at Richmond years ago is still around? We should recruit him!

    There’s always a silver lining. At least we don’t have to worry about the post bye collapse, we are already there.

    Jack watts was a better number 1 pick.

    • 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?
