I'm so happy Essendon won!! What a comeback they made. That's even the first time Essendon have beaten Adelaide since 2014! Well done Essendon and bomber fans!!! Go Essendon!!!!

Congrats to the Bombers a great win & a wonderful comeback.Credit where credit is due speaking as a Carlton fan,anything is possible no doubt if no real bad injuries especially a chance certainly to make the eight & who knows how things go maybe even higher all the very best.The Crows should bounce back they're still a class act:)
Only 50 seconds between Merrett tackling Douglas for holding the ball, and the little spat, and Douglas lining Merrett up for that hit. It was pure malice. No eyes on the footy and no attempt at it. I hope the tribunal flogs him.
Well I am a crows supporter and I will say: it wasn’t the umpires or haw bad Adelaide played. Essendon simply outplayed us and it’s nice to see them win against us. Go crows!
Although this was a positive victory I think us bomber fans are going to get a bit over the top thinking we can win it all after Richmond and western Bulldogs, we need to keep our heads in check. Nonetheless brilliant comeback against one of the best teams, the couple of extra weeks of rest really helped out
was a good comeback from Essendon and a great game to be honest, not sure about the umpiring though... was a few eyebrow rising decisions especially that "dangerous tackle" call. why is an umpire 50 meters away able to overrule an umpire 5 meters away with a perfect angle? that being said i see Essendon having a good year, i don't think they will make it to the big one but i see them improving this year. i think the teams really in contention this year is 1. Adelaide 2. Richmond 3. Geelong and 4. Port Adelaide, i think its out of those 4 teams this year (in order of my flag favorites) but who knows anything can happen. i think Adelaide will bounce back from this as well they still look to be a class team especially when you add Walker, Lynch and B.Crouch back in.
Hahaha Adelaid supporters using the "we had a wounded side, we needed Tex back " excuse, bruuuh, we had 4 good players out of our team, Baguely, Colyer, Fantasia, Merret after the 2nd Qtr was a big loss
Wow if the Adelaide Crows win to catch up in the Ladder in round two rematch the Adelaide Crows win in Last we met Richmond at the Grand final loosing at 48 points is dressed and walked way This year will beat Adelaide Crows vs Richmond in Last We met 2017 Go Crows 😊
It may only be Round 1, but mark my words; Essendon are a dark horse for this year's flag. The Crows will get redemption over the Tigers in next week's Grand Final Rematch.
It certainly is, but who are the leading Victorian contenders? Geelong? Richmond? Geelong still have their fair share of flaws, Richmond could have a premiership hangover, and recent history suggests that the interstate teams don't look capable of winning on Grand Final Day at the MCG against the best Victorian teams. That's why Essendon's window could be open right now. But I'm no more of an expert than anyone else either, that's just my theory.
MyLmfao2012 I agree he ran pass the ball to bump merret and smashed Merrett it’s a good bump but he was never going for the footy cause merret just caught Douglas holding the ball and Douglas wanted revenge 1 week Douglas should get
Hello Keejrjeh Yeah exactly what I thought. Only after reviewing this video did I realise the holding the ball earlier that quarter. Definitely went on for revenge and his eyes nor body were goin for the ball.
My God the AFL umpires are becoming the new A League referees, they just guess now. Thursday nights umpiring was laughable and tonights was just beyond a joke. The fact they interviewed them at half time and after the game shows how pathetic AFL umpiring has become. The umpires aren't why people watch footy get them off our screens NOW you spineless AFL.
I'm sure I could guess better than they do and I wouldn't walk around talking to the media live on TV stroking my own ego. Umps should be seen and not heard.
Essendon fans have always been over confident, relax abit you just beat a wounded crows side 1st game of the year. im a richmond fan and i only thought we had a real chance when we beat geelong in the final, every teams is going to be abit shaky first few games.
As a Richmond supporter I came here to read Adelaide supporter comments, but am Amused by the Essendon supporters comments about "premiership year" . I like you only started to think premiership possibilities after the Geelong win.....
scpjl76 Essendon was an injured side as well had five players out who would be in the best 22 for Essendon plus Zach merret was out bombers best player
You must play well for 4 quarters to win. The Crows didn't play well enough for the full 4 quarters. You will pay the ultimate price against the better teams if you don't play well for 4 quarters.
Another complete joke of a game with absolute horseshit umpiring. 5 goals Essendon scored from free kicks or dropped marks, which in the end was the deciding factor in the game. They were always at momentum killing points too. It is actually getting to the point now im starting to believe these games are rigged, AFL you had better do something about this biased victorian umpiring, i thought with a new year something might of changed but obviously not. So close to walking away from this sport and saving the thousands of dollars a year i spend on it cause it has become an absolute farce. No longer going to pay to watch Vic biased umps hand games over to the opposition.
Mate if you saw the Herald Sun front page it had all 10 of Melbourne's teams with the cup and the headline saying "It's Ours". No other sporting league in the world has this one sided competition towards an area of population. Imagine the NBA and LA with 10 basketball teams or MLB with NY with 10 baseball teams. Its never going to be a "FAIR" or "EVEN" competition until other states have more teams and a handful of Melbourne teams go bankrupt and fold. Thats hundred's of years away. I remember the Champions of Australia days when Melbourne footy teams would get a thumping away from home against SA, WA and TAS teams. Good times. All 10 Melbourne teams are the most flat track bullies in the entire country. They can't win many finals out of Melbourne and they can't play a Grand Final outside of Melbourne, they are scared they'll lose their advantage. Look at American football they play the final in a different state every year and it doesn't matter what the stadium capacity is 50, 60, 70, 80 thousand it doesn't matter. Its good for the economy and tourism in the USA. One day the Vics will realize its in the nations best interests to do it.
I'm so happy Essendon won!! What a comeback they made. That's even the first time Essendon have beaten Adelaide since 2014! Well done Essendon and bomber fans!!! Go Essendon!!!!
It was played at docklands Austmerican

Excellent game and that's coming from a Neutral. Exactly what Friday Night footy should be.

Thank you for all those goals that we didn't get to see from Essendon
Saad did exceptionally well on Eddie betts and the rest of the game.

Congrats to the Bombers a great win & a wonderful comeback.Credit where credit is due speaking as a Carlton fan,anything is possible no doubt if no real bad injuries especially a chance certainly to make the eight & who knows how things go maybe even higher all the very best.The Crows should bounce back they're still a class act:)
Daniher is a pure legend
I lost my voice soooo baddd!
Bombers pulled a Ripa at the end
Only 50 seconds between Merrett tackling Douglas for holding the ball, and the little spat, and Douglas lining Merrett up for that hit. It was pure malice. No eyes on the footy and no attempt at it. I hope the tribunal flogs him.
I lost my voice completely but worth it CARN THE DONS🔴⚫️🔴⚫️
Did anyone else hear stewy drop th3 f bomb when it was #RomingBrian 😂😂
Gutsy win by the lads tonight if this is a taste of things to come this season then I am so hyped C'MON BOMBERS!!! 🔴⚫️🔴⚫️🔴⚫️
I think roaming Brian should’ve been in this highlight reel 😂😂😂
He has his own highlight reel
Especially what Mark Harvery said to him about defending.
Listen to the roar! 7:16
Well I am a crows supporter and I will say: it wasn’t the umpires or haw bad Adelaide played. Essendon simply outplayed us and it’s nice to see them win against us. Go crows!
Well done Essendon, showed maturity that top 4 teams need to show.
Where’s Murphy’s goal?
Fantastic bombers, though I’m Saints’s fans. I’ve tip on you guys with faith and analysis. Bloody 👍🏻 well done, with the trouble you had.
Good on you don’s
Im a bombers fans and i think we will make top 4 this year
Although this was a positive victory I think us bomber fans are going to get a bit over the top thinking we can win it all after Richmond and western Bulldogs, we need to keep our heads in check. Nonetheless brilliant comeback against one of the best teams, the couple of extra weeks of rest really helped out
Sensible comment, but Bombers fans still have a lot to look forward to this season.
Most teams who win round 1 over exaggerate , lets just enjoy the comeback :)
Yeah I agree, just 1 win and both teams made so many mistakes tonight.
You have wrong mind set if you want Essendon to go good this year.
FootyCardinal they will do pretty good though should be top 8
Same
I’m a dogs supporter. Hard seeing Stringer in the red and black. He will get back to his 2015 form soon.
was a good comeback from Essendon and a great game to be honest, not sure about the umpiring though... was a few eyebrow rising decisions especially that "dangerous tackle" call. why is an umpire 50 meters away able to overrule an umpire 5 meters away with a perfect angle?

i think Adelaide will bounce back from this as well they still look to be a class team especially when you add Walker, Lynch and
B.Crouch back in.
Fourth quarter I was worried
I nearly threw the remote at the TV when we lost
Paper HD I nearly lost it when it was 3 quarter time ( I’m an essendon fan )
HAHA
That's pretty bad when you only score 2 points in 15+ minutes!!
ha ha ha crows. love it when they loose
LOL
Hahaha Adelaid supporters using the "we had a wounded side, we needed Tex back " excuse, bruuuh, we had 4 good players out of our team, Baguely, Colyer, Fantasia, Merret after the 2nd Qtr was a big loss
Two match losing streak from last season as of this post for the Crows.
The Dons are back. Red alert!
I tipped crows
sorry to hear
I am doing footy Tipping I tipped Richmond yay and I tipped Essendon to win yay
crows really need Brodie smith back in the side
Wow if the Adelaide Crows win to catch up in the Ladder in round two rematch the Adelaide Crows win in Last we met Richmond at the Grand final loosing at 48 points is dressed and walked way This year will beat Adelaide Crows vs Richmond in Last We met 2017 Go Crows 😊

The last time Essendon won against Adelaide was 2014
The Merchanator 2013
Bossietropes Unboxing and gameplays I don’t actually no the last time won
Bossietropes Unboxing and gameplays it was 2014
Azza McAzza 1 afl said it was 2013 and the commentary 2 why 4 weeks late to reply
Adelaide needed Taylor Walker
Henry Backbone hes not even good
maybe the powerstance too
Douglas deliberately bumped meritt
MyLmfao2012 I agree he ran pass the ball to bump merret and smashed Merrett it’s a good bump but he was never going for the footy cause merret just caught Douglas holding the ball and Douglas wanted revenge 1 week Douglas should get

GRIMLOCKCRUSH you go umpire then if you think its that easy
The afl actually admitted 2 of the 5 50m penaltys shouldnt of been paid against richmond. Still didnt help carlton much
I'm sure I could guess better than they do and I wouldn't walk around talking to the media live on TV stroking my own ego. Umps should be seen and not heard.
So Essendon is better then crows.im a bomber supporter
Essendon fans have always been over confident, relax abit you just beat a wounded crows side 1st game of the year.
im a richmond fan and i only thought we had a real chance when we beat geelong in the final, every teams is going to be abit shaky first few games.

scpjl76 Essendon was an injured side as well had five players out who would be in the best 22 for Essendon plus Zach merret was out bombers best player
So did we bud, Fantasia one of our best forwards out, bagley one of our best defenders, Merrett out for most the game one of our best and many more.
lol Adelaide
Go the bombers
Crows should have won
You must play well for 4 quarters to win. The Crows didn't play well enough for the full 4 quarters. You will pay the ultimate price against the better teams if you don't play well for 4 quarters.
its funny that, because Adelaide supporters were saying "they should have won" after their last game too
