Get the feeling Rutten isn't going to last at bomberland.

Maybe the players are playing for Lord Jimmy, and not Ben, or the club.  They just hope he can bring an injection of enthusiasm (or at least an injection of something). 🙄

    The ladder is really interesting. It is completely clear that only two teams have any idea about defence – of course, we are one of them.

    so lovely to see Geelong on the slide.

    Rutten will start getting described as 'not Essendon enough' soon and that is the path to the door.

    And on that note...I wonder how Matthew Knights feels about the current situation...

    I know we would be a different side without Petracca or Oliver but is there a team more reliant on one player than Richmond is on Dusty?

    Dylan Sheil copping plenty on Bomber Blitz, what happened?

    Barely touched the ball.  Just seemed to strut around.

    Parker took the mickey out of him with a shoulder shrug jig after kicking a goal after Sheil fumbled the ball.  The jig suggesting Shiel is frightened to go in hard for the ball.

    Video of the sledge here:

    Quite funny!

    So much support there for sledging.  A fine example to juniors.

    shiel is signed on big, big money til the end of 2024 and doesn't look like an afl level player

    he can ONLY play in the midfield and his effort and impact is not even close to being good enough at the moment

    peptides in a world of pain...such a shame

    Too much to ask for a GC, GWS, Melbourne Trifecta?

    Apart from the Parker incident, there was also a point in the game where one of his team mates (I think it was Redman) was absolutely paying out on Shiel for not doing his share in defending.

    Shame I'm not doing tipping this year, it looks like I'm 6/6 so far.

    Very happy to see St Kilda beat Geelong yesterday. Looks like the slide is on!

    I agree with some others on here that it looks as though the 8 is set. I'm just hoping both Geelong and Richmond draw eachother in an Elimination Final so as to take care of one of themselves.

    And my early pick is St Kilda to take a top 4 spot along with us Fremantle and Brisbane. I thought they gave the best 4 quarter effort of any team against us last week.

    Hoping Suns can get the job done today, not much of a crowd by the looks of things.

    They’re in the game just so panicked kicking inside 50, many times now they’ve bombed off one step to no-one when they had far more time!

    The Suns having a dip. Unlike the Crows last night i think they can sustain this for 4 quarters

    Freo facing their first real threat in the Suns up there.

    The Melbourne boys were all pretty bullish on Gold Coast after playing them. I trust their football judgment, and Fremantle play a lot like Melbourne.

    Even though the Suns have had some bad losses this year I reckon the fact the Suns play honest football these days means other teams can cut them up but teams that play properly like Melbourne and Fremantle will struggle a little more to get over the top of them.

    Looks like Dew wants to keep his job. This opens up the eight for some more changes if they hang on

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
