Hawthorn has over 71,000 members, their fans have seen four premierships since 2008 and they can only get 28,000 people to the MCG on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Incredible.

No pets allowed at the G. 

Not sure where they got the other 8 thousand from.

They have, without a doubt, the biggest bunch of bandwagon supporters of any club. 

I reckon at least 30,000 of that 71,000 just signed up to enjoy the success.

This is the club that got 17000 to the mcg on a Sunday arvo in 2014.... as reigning premiers. 

but obviously its just the crap clubs that have no fans

ok.... coming down very slowly after yet another disappointing MFC result.

In line with the eternal optimism of an MFC supporter still believing in the mathematical chance of making the finals (wasn't late last year fun for a while) I am curious what is the best outcome for us from the Collingwood v Essendon game.

My head says Essendon to lose as I think Collingwood can be relied upon to achieve mediocrity and a near bottom four end of season position even with a win today.

Perhaps a draw so both teams can rue what might have been.

Cannot bring myself to hope for injuries no matter how tempting the thought might be.

So.... Essendon to "hit the wall".

No you can't Diamond, but we can sure as hell hope for reports. And perhaps a midweek drug bust, off site of course.

[Wrecker45 3,378]

I'm hoping for Daniher to kick straight. It sure as hell wont happen 2 weeks in a row.

[Return to Glory 8,453]

Thought I just saw Stephen Dank in the bomber change rooms handing out some uppers.

You're a much better man than me.

Just got your wish

[Return to Glory 8,453]

And it helps if Collingwood forget to field a backline

[dees189227 12,453]

A few injuries to some key bummers would be great. But that only happens to us.

[jane02 3,778]

And I thought the Tiger supporters were feral. These Essendon supporters are down right scary. So much aggression.

No need. Coached by a pharmacist and an ex WCE one at that. Will know all the tricks. 

[monoccular 17,642]

How lucky is Buckley to have such an influential godfather-- he would be long gone without. Still, let him stay.

"Vitamins", you mean. Also, they go off-site for the really good stuff.

[What 18,810]

Any injuries for Essendon yet or does that only happen to us?

None of any significance at this stage. 

[deelete my account 1,194]

Default mode is wanting Collingwood to lose and Buckley to be under pressure, but on the other hand it would be far better to have Essendon & Collingwood on 2/3 

[brendan 3,445]

Both sides look crap

Parish pushed aside like a school boy. Oliver > Parish&Francis

It is improper to hope for injuries to Essendrug players. On the other hand think of the deserving players who will get an opportunity to play to replace injured players.   Conscience cleared.

Let's wait until we beat them before we say how shite we think they are. Remember last year?
