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.

    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.

    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.

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

    None of any significance at this stage.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
