There's a buzz at work that Max is not playing - anyone heard anything? Trying to get to source, but an Essendon-connected colleague is sure about it - possibly covid related

Max just posted an insta story of himself at a cafe about 20 minutes ago.

I think you've fallen victim for an April fools joke..!

    Gulp! How do we know it's not Max posting the April Fools Day joke pretending to be at a cafe 20 minutes ago...?

    I wanna see Bomber supporters going into nuclear meltdown mode at the ground and listen to them sook on SEN driving home after going 0-3 tonight and how they "shouldn't have got rid of Sheedy and that's the reason why we are in this mess."

    The only match of the year where I go into feral mode and want to inflict pain and misery onto a club...and sit back with a smile in my face while it all happens.

    Only concern for mine is being on the receiving end of umpiring like last night. HQ won't want one of their favourites being 0-3. 

    Crush them boys.

    I'd think the last thing the AFL want is another lopsided free kick count which will be counter intuitive to their broader push to respect the umpires. They'd be hoping for the commentary to be around the quality of the football rather than the umpiring and that last night's game is forgotten by Sunday.

    I cannot write down the hatred and Loathing i feel to Essendrug. 
    They should still be doing a 10 year Ban from the Competition in my opinion 

    Smash them Demons. Hurt them, just don’t get reported

    I'm surprised by the hate strongly negative attitude towards Essendon in this thread. There may be all sorts of reasons for it, but I wonder whether it all boils down to latent hostility following on from the result of the 2000 GF?

    As I've said before, I don't dislike any team but subscribe to the view that I support Melbourne and any team playing Collingwood. I've always believed that other teams are our friends in battle with the true enemy (for want of another word) being the other winter codes.

    Did you ever go to Windy Hill in the 70’s or 80’s??

    hatred goes a long way further back than 2000, I assure you

    I hate Essendon above all other teams because of their arrogance, their brutality in the 2000 GF, going to Windy Hill, their arrogance and their absolute refusal to accept responsibility or come clean about what they gave the players when they drug cheated. I also find them particularly arrogant. 
    Back in 2012-15 I used to make a deal with a god that I don’t believe in, that I could live with just one win for the year as long as that was against the Bombers

    Never went to Windy Hill. Clearly it was a place that has scarred people for life.

    Just to be clear, I'm not critical of others and their choice of teams they hate. I just don't have the same feelings.

    60s and Cross Keys and St Bernard's.

    If you never stepped inside Windy Hill, then you have no understanding of what it was like, and i am not having a go at you. Just telling the truth

    Yep, the terror and cant of Windy Hill is a historical fact. Getting out of the ground at the end of the match, and getting home safely with children and wives - risky business.

    KOzzies bound to have a huge game goalwise sooner or later and if not him then Fritta.

    Hopefully both,

    Im so glad May and Bowie are not injured.

    Bowey is playing inspired footy and hopefully Rivers will be closer to his old self.

    Apparently Ben Brown is out with COVID. Weideman to come in. If correct, great opportunity for Weid!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
