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.

    • 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.
