Just want to bank the 4 pts today and no injuries. Then onto Geelong.

Both missed sitters against Brisbane, Oliver streaming into an open goal in the 3rd and Tracca a simple set shot on 3/4 time. If they fixed that they would be the best 1-2 combo in recent history.

I'm pretty much at that point now. I'll watch on the couch and first crack but usually on delay so I can skip the rubbish. 360 occasionally but skip most parts that aren't about us (or about Essendon imploding). So much better when you're not consuming the rubbish commentary that goes along with the game m.

Agree but how do they get draft capital without giving up players?

Grundy's contract was always rubbish from the moment it was signed (in January with a season still to run from memory) - midfielders are different to ruckman and he was overvalued off one good season. Clarry is a multiple B&F, champion midfielder with one flag already under his belt and leading the AFLCA award and warm favourite for the Brownlow and he's only 24. You wrap these guys up the minute you have the chance.

Tim Kelly nominated West Coast even though Freo had a better draft hand. If players nominate club's these days it is extremely rare they don't get there (unless you're trying to leave Essendon).

My son's Auskick had quite a few Melbourne jumpers this year and we are in Essendon heartland so generally lots of Essendon and Footscray with a couple of Kangaroos, Pies, Tiger, Blues etc chucked in.

Surely has to be investigated by the "integrity" unit - won't matter though, can bet there will be nothing to see here....

There were only 20 games in the H&A in 1993 as well 😲

Recruit of the year and it isn't close

Spargis tackling is outstanding, often two or three attempts in a single play - and players rarely get a disposal off once he sinks his claws in.

You too huh? 🤣

The only other that compares off the top of my head was his game vs West Coast when TMac kicked the winner in the dying seconds.

It looked like we were running downhill tonight. Interesting to see what happens over the next few weeks.

Fantastic crowd for a Thursday night

That is a fantastic crowd for a Thursday night game.

What, you thought I was joking?

Contested possession R8-14 +8.2 (#1) - tonight +38 Post clearance contested possession R8-14 +6 (#1) - tonight +26 Forward half intercepts R8-14 +26.3 - tonight +38 Points from forward half intercepts R8-14 21.2pts tonight 61pts This was a demolition make no mistake. Really should've been a 15 goal plus win but we let them off the hook with some pretty easy misses. Just ground it away and got our contest and pressure (especially forward half pressure) game back. CARNA [censored] DEMONS!!!!

Only quarter that comes ose is the 3rd vs GWS otherwise that was easily our best quarter for the season. Keep it up Demons, don't let up, put your foot on their throat

Has been fantastic around the contest. Our pressure that quarter! Where has it been. Keep it up boys 2 quarters more of that thanks. GIVE EM HELL DEMONS!!!

Cliff notes?

I don't get the outrage

I picked Freo but only because I don't consider the Saints a realistic option. I'd love to see the Saints win - yeah their long suffering supporters deserve to see some success but really it's just so Carlton have the longest premiership drought.
