[censored] this.

So should we. Jesus Christ.

They shouldn't be coming out any more angry than us.

They absolutely annihilated us two years ago by almost 150 points.

We should be licking our lips at the chance of giving it back to them whilst they're down and out.

We owe them.

Totally agree. Let's see it as an opportunity to feast on a drug addled carcass.

    hope Hird doesn't get sacked this week

    Why should they even consider sacking him?

    Are you a media propagandist?

    He is doing a fantastic job.

    It has come up numerous times but do we seriously think letting Howe dish up such poor performances week in week out really assists his trade value more than dropping him? Are other clubs really that stupid?

    Richmond almost traded pick 12 for an injured Trengove, and were only lucky that he failed a medical at the very last minute.

    So my answer is yes, yes they are.

    Now my mum said you don't hate anything in the world but sorry mum i hate this club and the majority (not all) of their smug sh*t don't stink supporters who think that it's their supreme right to be cocky and arrogant to other clubs supporters yet are genuinely shocked when people hate their club.

    I hate Essendon....hate them. HATE THEM!!!!

    Growing up in the area in the 80's 90's 2000's sucked with this black and red machine winning premierships along the way.

    God i hate this team so over the past few years when we have beaten them it's the game i want to win every year.

    Smash them, crush them next week!!! Destroy them!!!!!

    I'm holding my breath as I type this, but.... Fitzpatrick? I don't know how you fit him in to the side as another tall, but he could handle Daniher in terms of height, size and speed.

    Fork Fitzy, not required and not good enough!! back our mids to starve supply and tell Dunny or Garland its down to them!

    You think clubs will trade higher for him if he plays in our side and dishes up rubbish like that than if we put him to Casey?

    Well, the reigning premiers took Frawley.

    The problem with GWS is their picks are tied up with live Academy selections. They'll need to trade out players for more first rounders and trade us that.

    That said, if GWS can afford $700k in their salary cap for Howe, that's mindbogglingly poor list management. Although this is the club paying Scully $1M a year, so it fits with that logic.

    If we can towel up Essendon next week, I get the feeling that that will be the result that sees Herd out of the building. God I hope we do it!

    I actually think we will destroy the druggies. They have lost hope and are mentally shot, they are going through the motions now. If we come out hard and with the right team I'm tipping a good 60+ thumping

  • Quote

    umm yes, and Danaiher is 201cms

    So if you are looking for a match up, there you go.

    Dunn played on and destroyed Hawkins who is 197cm and 101kgs two weeks ago.

    Don't think Danher's size would worry him....

    mate, wrong poster. I'm not the one saying it will. I am just informing him that we do have someone of equal height who can play on him.

    St. Kilda beat them by 110 points yet you are only predicting 60+.

    Where is your ambition man?

    Out- M Jones, Bail

    Expecting a light week on the track so the boys can freshen up, Matt Jones may stay in because we are playing the Bombers who can be exposed for run but IMO should be dropped, Spencer will be dropped due to match ups

    Jetta Dunn Garland

    Lumumba TMAC Cross

    Stretch Viney Vince

    Watts Dawes Brayshaw

    Garlett Hogan JKH

    Gawn, N.Jones, Tyson

    I/C:Toumpas, ANB, Grimes & Howe

    Emergencies: Newton, Michie & Fitzpatrick

    Out:Spencer, Bail & M Jones

    Ins:Lumumba, JKH & Grimes

    I am putting Brayshaw in as I am hoping he is okay and not really sure where Grimes is at with his hand, JKH needs to come in to give Garlett a hand at ground level

    We need to drop both Bail & M Jones because when the heat is on they can't cut it. Both dropped easy chest marks because they were bracing themselves for contact. Compare them to Brayshaw yes they both can run, but both are poor kicks. I'm over players that can run but are crap footballers. We have 2 many NQR'S in our squad. We have to delist them ASAP and go for kids who can kick and are smart footballers.

    Beggars belief doesn't it out with 2 NQR's & in with 2 more. I agree with u we have 2 stop playing guys like M Jones, Bail because they can run & Mckenzie & Terlich because they try hard.

    I think you'll find that BPP made that post with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek.

    It's a given, Bail & M. Jones & Spencer Brayshaw ( still getting neck spasms he said he must toughen up.)

    Fresh Legs JKH, Newton, lumumba & michie.

    Howe is safe he should have fresh legs, he didn't use them on Sat.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
