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?

    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.

    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

    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

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
