    Today should be a regulation take the 4 points and move on game. We are contenders, Essendon are pretenders.

    If the weather turns out to be as ****ty as some are suggesting then that may prove something of an equaliser.

    Would be a highlight to see someone run over the "choirboy" Parish. Stringer can turn it on, but against us, he'll find it a difficult proposition surrounded by quality defenders.

    I actually don't mind Draper. Good ruckman and useful up forward so will make Grundy work.

    Tip. Kozzie to kick four in another 50 point win.

    PS. My sources inform that @WalkingCivilWar is currently in a horseless carriage and on route to Adelaide. Imagine being in the same vehicle for that journey! Poor bastards!

    I think it’s time to start a Deathriding thread for Essendon.

    I know we don’t have their draft pick but I hate them so much!

    Or some good old fashioned jumper waving after the win.

    Ugh. Working in a secure environment until about 6.30. Not even phones.

    Boooooo.

    Add an extra yell for me, all right?

    I'll probably watch the game on replay anyway, so if it is a proper thriller please name the match thread 'Spoiler Alert'.

    How many Essendon players would get into our team? Stringer perhaps, if he did a 6-week intensive strength and conditioning program. Merritt maybe. I like Ridley and Draper but we have superior players in their positions.

    We are a much better team and should be aiming for a regulation 5-6 goal win.

    If it's wet, we win by 15 if its dry we win by 35.

    I’ll have you know that I have the very important job of keeping the others awake. And I’m nailing it! Maybe nailing it a little too much, one of them just asked me if I’d like a pillow for when I doze off. 🤭 Not happenin’ anytime soon though coz…

    Rookie error, girls. Don’t let me loose in the servo. 😁

    Dees win today, AND Pies get the job done tomorrow (which they will as another pretender a la Blues goes down), Monday morning the MFC is top of the ladder.  Then come and get us.

    Sunny but windy this side of the Maribyrnong this morning. 30km bike ride already done and bacon & egg roll and 2nd coffee already demolished. Let's shake off the setback of our 2023 draft placings momentarily and focus on the red & blue buzz saw that will be adding Essendon to the wood chip pile this afternoon.

    We just have to thrash them. I don't want a close game, I don't want to see stringer kicking goals. Lets make there supporters afternoon miserable. Oh and Brad Scotts to.

    If the forecast for rain in Adelaide looks like being accurate, BBB should be replaced 

    Very sceptical about BBB playing if there's steady rain

    Would love a ten goal flogging of the Bombers, of course always happy to just win and take the four points.

    Agree with many posters, if it pours JJ in for BBB seems to make sense!

    Kossie for 5.2 this week!

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
