Hawks have been tanking for at least a month now.  I have gone right off Clarkson as next coach of the MFC.

Nah they are just crap, and long may it stay that way

Why should we get 3 chances??

Or especially skills

It's about skills

Skills look better when it is dry, can't be no skills one week then good skills the next week, play freeo and Sydney at the Gabba and we win both games.

Worsfold has put the cat among the pigeons on his way out:

“I understand that Essendon people think that Essendon should be better, but they’ve also got to understand that the competition challenges clubs now to work to the same rules – the draft and the salary cap. “No one team has any more right to be successful quicker than any other team, just because they’re a big-name club.”

Just love that!  Big slap down to those entitled cheats.

Thrashing them next week will be a delightful end to our year; not a substitute for finals but a good consolation prize.

This "little person" mindset just proves that Worsfold never was a true Essendon man

Their succession plan is going a treat so far! ?

have to think he is trying to make excuses for his performance though. 16 years without a finals win, any club would not be happy with that.

 16 years without a finals win, 

Thats hilarious.  Not even we went that long without a finals win when we finally broke the drought in 2018.

Essendon are an irrelevant club.

I try to add this in to every conversation I have. 
I googled it just now and wrote “how long since” and ‘since Essendon won a final’ automatically came up! ?

Hawthorn never cease to find a way to muck us up.

Even when they are not playing them.

It felt so good when the game was already decided to jump ship and support the dogs.

Anyone know what Mumford got for the clothes-line on clarry?

If the AFL is serious about concussion, he should get weeks for his supposed spoiling attempt where he just belted Gawn in the back of the head in I think the second quarter. Gawn was down for quite a while after it and Mumford was nowhere near the ball. 

It's ridiculous how commentators just laugh at these punches to the head in a marking attempt. 'Making him earn it' rubbish. It is the accumulation of all those smaller hits that really add up, not just the ones where players get knocked out.

o'meara as their next skipper?

I'd take an ageing Stratton over Chip or Frost anyday. No way it would have been Stratton's decision to retire

Wouldn't go O'meara, doesnt strike me as leadership material.  they don't have many candidates... maybe Mitchell? he should be back to his best next year

Agreed. he punch to Gawn should have been a fine.  blatently trying to get our best player out of the game

results should have been out yesterday so I assume he got nothing

The very week after we learned Danny Frawley had brain damage. Hilarious.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
