Essendon are having their all too familiar fade out halfway into a season. Can't say I'm too unhappy after copping it from their supporters for the start of the year.

I guess what it does show is that if your cattle is rubbish the coach setup really doesn't matter.

I know a few here were saying we needed a similar setup and a good game day coach. Hird has been totally out coached tonight and to me highlights the pitfalls of expecting a change of coach will automatically bring sustained success.

In the meantime suffer bombers and dees please turn up and bring your A game tomorrow!

Go dees!

"He's not the Messiah. He's just a very crappy coach."

I picked them for the spoon in our pre-season predictions thread. They won't quite slide that far but the bottom four definitely beckons for them.

Go read the wrist-slashing on Bomber Blitz. It's a guilty pleasure!

Nothing more satisfying then watching these smug pricks get flogged.

Well, apart from carlton getting flogged by more:)

I love us to [censored] the Tigers by more. :wub:

I don't think anyone really wanted to see the pretty boy succeed, but even more satisfying for me is seeing that hypocrite mercenary behind him suffering. Not a fan of his at all after the Ablett fiasco. Even better is that Geelong have actually gotten better this year too. Sucked in Bomber.

You'd think they were Melbourne supporters circa 2003

A competitive effort will do my soul wonders tomorrow.To be in the eight is not important to me this year.Exposing the new players and our future has been satisfying.Closing the yaps of the Jack Watts demolition team,has been one of my greatest pleasures.

My greatest pleasure has been watching a kid from South Australia Be MFC

Fair point.

Poor year = 8 wins or less

Good year = 9-11 wins

Great year = Finals

James "i can't stand seeing Essendon play like this under Matthew Knights" Hird will take the Bombers nowhere in the next 3-4 years and watch how quick Simon Goodwin and others jump ship.

Umm,Sean Wellman!!!

I think essenDONE spent too long over summer celebrating the miracle that did not happen.

Always believed their coaching panel WOULD play better footy then THE TEAM.

Collingwood on Grand Final day... MUCH more fun to watch them beaten by either a point, or by 100.

Have a look at their list.

What does it teach you?

Don't hold onto not quite rights hoping they come good.

A clean out is needed at that club.

So many wasteful players out there tonight. Spike McVeigh, Welsh, Ryder, Alwyn Davey, Prismall...and then the kids behind them pick up bad habits. Myers was one of their top draft picks IIRC. Useless til injured.

Even Gadget is finally starting to look past it.

I know how good is it. I bet Bomber Thompson isnt having as much fun. He would not be used to being involved in a team that has lost 5 in a row.

The thing is if it was any other coach they would be calling for his head. But most of the fans wont turn on Hirdy.

This is why Im glad now Garry Lyon wont coach us. He was my fave player and I dont think I could ever abuse him or want him to be sacked if we wernt travelling so well.

Thanks essendon for keeping 8th spot warm for us. But we will gladly take it off your hands. Come on melbourne please please win tomorrow.

The best thing essendon are playing geelong next week. 6 losses in a row coming up.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
