Well I must say it will be a shame if Essendon are decimated by the loss of a number of players they would probably wish to keep. First Saad, now Daniher. Who next ?

Let the dominoes fall and the evil empire struggle to compete for a decade. 

Couldnt happen to a better bunch of bastrrrrrds !!!

    I know one Bomber member (I know, I'm ashamed to admit it) who is disgusted enough that she has emailed to cancel her membership today. She also told me that Merrett wants out, although I don't know how reliable her source is. Maybe it's just media speculation.

    Other:

    • Connor McKenna broke his contract and went back to Ireland. 
    • Fantasia has had medicals with SA teams and will likely be traded.
    • Hurley and Hooker are upset that Bellchambers didn't get a farewell game.
    • Merrett is upset he was dumped from the leadership group after being VC.

    Add Daniher and Saad departures and it is clear they are falling apart.

    It is even better than watching them squirm their way thru the drug saga.

    Well Rutten will be the one in front of the mud cake next year.

    So much for the old committee players rallying around the flag. That's worked out well.

    Saad has been saying he was thinking of leaving all year and Daniher was almost always certain to go.

    I wouldn't call it imploding but it's fair to say they are a 10-14 team with a downward arrow. Much the same as Hawthorn.

    Of course one has to remember they weren't too far off beating us a few weeks ago.

    The only thing better than watching them bottom out would be to watch them hover just on the edge of the bottom four and constantly trying to reload based on Hubris alone, only to burn draft picks and salary cap space for no greater benefit than to keep hovering on the edge of the bottom four.

    We need to be in for Merrett.

    Merrett definitely wants out but they have told him they won’t trade him

    I have no love for Essendon but I wouldn't say they are imploding, Jon Ralph reporting they will get pick 7 for Daniher (free agency), and they could potentially squeeze what is currently pick 7 out of Carlton for Saad. They will lose Fantasia as well and go to the draft with at worst 3 first round picks. Essendon were stuck in mediocrity for years and will go through a mini rebuild now to fix their problems, we could be stuck in the same situation in a year or 2 if we don't make drastic improvement as Gawn and May keep getting older.

    I think you are channeling a little too much Ghandi, turn up the volume, and you capture it perfectly. Waves of pleasure at how they are going. I actually want Joe to stay though, clog up a spot and burn their cash

    7 for Danniher is ridiculous

    Not across it fully but I don't think many of their draft choices have gone on. Parrish seems to go in and out of average form. How about the others?

    Pick 7 in this years draft is around pick 12 if not later in a "clean draft" and they have the problem of no 2020 exposed form for draftees.

    A mini rebuild could be tough if they don't nail their draft choices.

    PS I had forgotten McGrath.

    Carlton

    Carlton to acquire Williams, Saad, Merrett, Oliver & Lachie Hunter by the sounds of things. Decent off season.

    Wonder if they're going to make a late play for Viney offering 6 years instead of 5.

    My new favourite thread. I will visit often. 

    bombers are a rabble - their arrogance has been shown up. Simply expecting to return to the top coz they are a ‘big’ club. Saad going to their arch rivals is hilarious! 

    They’ve lost their HB line and run. Also Their main forward. Their talls are old and their midfield average. And their captain is one injury away from retirement. 

    no longer a destination club  they’ll go to the draft and be bottom 4 for quite some time 

    20 years without winning a final? Coming up! Hahaha

    Fantasia is probably next cab. It's going to be fun watching Dodoro carry on like a pork chop demanding the Taj Mahal or Charlie Cameron and a bevy of picks. Hate dealing with the Bombres.

    If you think pick 7 is ridiculous, there were rumours last year that Sydney offered pick 5 in last year's draft and their first round 2020 pick, which has turned out to be pick 3 this year.

    They won't get pick 7 this year if Brisbane's contract is middling, which it might be salary-wise given the injury risk.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
