Probably a good idea that the site was upgrading whilst the Bombers got their first win of the season.

hahahahaha

I still had to watch it. 😭

 

Watched the first 3 quarters. Very low quality affair. I don’t think port will challenge this season

That seriously looked like a late season game where both teams were cooked.

those two saturday night games should be crackers

Is footy still played on Saturday night? I must check my local guide.

If I didn't see the game does that mean it didn't exist & the bummers didn't win?

Sounds like I didn't miss much & I'm guessing ken will be talked about again.

Ah yes. Forgot about that one. Still could have put it in a stand alone spot.

Would love CH7 to poach David King. 

At one stage Kingy called the game a shoot out...I think at the time scores were 4 goals to 2.

A shoot out without any shots fired.

Then there was the call berating Wines for his poor handball turnover...I didn't know Wines was a redhead (it was Logan Evans).

Another big call was that JHF needed help in the middle...he needed help alright, help to get out of 2nd gear. Both him & Rozee just coasted, they needed a rocket.

Port look insipid without Butters.

What a terrible game of footy it was.

Hope so. There’s a couple Essendon supporters at my work and this week I got reminded that at the core of all Essendon supporters footy soul, there is mostly a dark endless void, but if you squint real hard into it, deep deep down, there’s a little tiny flickering light way off into the distance, which is actually a dense, raging nucleus made of pure unadulterated arrogance.

Hate em. Will never feel sympathy for them.

Go Port.

It's so cool that after being two of the 3 superpowers from the late 70s to the early noughties it's so satisfying to see Carlton will probably go past a 30-year flag drought and Essendon's probably going to wait 22 plus years just to win any final. You would have been committed if you insisted either would happen back round 2001. 😊

 

Where to know for Port, they have the succession plan in place, is there any point in letting Hinkley see the year out. Hard to see them making finals, with regards to player retention are they better off making the move now.

Any parallel’s for our club?

Imagine being a port fan. Such great players and never even made a GF

Most inconsistent team ever

Those multiple prelim thrashings must haunt them 

So many teams would infuriate their fans. This decade I'd rather be a Dees fan.


25k there last night?

Essendon supporters are pathetic

Marvel sucks

Essendon sucks. Even after last night they look mediocre. Oh, and the game finished at 10pm on a work night. I can understand why many didn't bother.

Their supporters are pathetic, they drop off as soon as their team struggles

Zero excuses

How about Geelong?

40,000 capacity at CatPark but only 25k for the Freo game

Pathetic

I'm calling this round 'redemption round'

The teams have have been kicked will right their ships

Bombers, then the Blues, followed by the Demons

I listened to Maxy talk about this very thing (maybe triple MMM footy or something) and he said in Roos last year coaching us, Goody was effectively in charge and coaching the team and Roos was mostly just taking the heat from the media if things went wrong.

He went on to say that the Carr/Hinkley set up is very likely the same deal. Carr is effectively coach whilst Hinkley advises him and takes the media spotlight for this year.

On the train to Marvel Stadium ...

"This is the third time; I hope good luck lies in odd numbers. Away, go. They say there is divinity in odd numbers, either in nativity, chance, or death."

Not sure why I am going, but I am 😁

Carn the Blues.

Let’s hope you get absolutely THRASHED

Before things start off tonight…

What was going on with the surface at Marvel last night?

Seems like nobody could pick up the ball cleanly for the first half. A bit too sweaty combined with a greasy surface?

It was diabolical.

How long is Curnow contracted for,?

And back to dark mode can we also have a black and white mode that is blank during pies games.

Will be fun to see who is left by round 19 against the giants. But, hey, you never know, the Bombers have been on the cusp of a big upswing for about 13 years...

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
