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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
