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

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
