Five of Essendon’s remaining six matches are prime-time, Thursday and Friday nights. Even with the stoopid floating fixture the AFL has screwed up hugely.

They were no hope when the fixture was set for the 2nd half. Should have prioritised other teams. Funny how the Pies were not selected.

    Looking forward to one of my non-MFC favourites Hayden Young being back out on the field on Sunday. Hope he rips the Pies a new one. Freo a big chance unless the umps get spooked by the Pies nuffs into umpiring one way.

    School holidays (kids don’t have to get up for school tomorrow), weather isn’t an issue coz Marvel, and that’s all they can manage? Pathetic.

    Absolutely pathetic!

    We get 35K in the cold against North a bottom team

    and they just crack 20K against a contender?

    yet we will still cop it in the media for poor crowds. Even though the bombers have heaps more supporters and fans

    Can't wait to watch the bombers v Dogs and then Cats on friday night footy

    Are they trying to make as many bombers fans cry as possible?

    If so, I am on board

    Lions V Dogs should be a cracker. Naughton in form with Darcy is very hard to stop

    Dogs defence, as usual poor.

    Let's hope for a close game

    Lions by 4 points

    Crowd: 20,347 at Marvel Stadium

    It isn't as if their supporter numbers suddenly disappeared. They just don't care about regular games any more. It is a small step to them just not bothering at all.

    There's a lovely old expression which gets applied to many things, but especially the collapse of systems and states, like the Roman Empire, the Stock Market or personal bankruptcy.

    "It occurred very slowly and then all at once"

    Their balance sheet looks strong but their main assets are basically pokies clubs, and of course owning their own training base.

    Essendon has been in the 'very slowly' phase for a long time, but could very suddenly become a minor club where the only recent history of interest is also of pure shame.

    i would love cadman

    i would settle for ricardi

    2022 is proving an ordinary draft - the first four will be stars though.

    With all due respect, I dont think the AFL could have envisaged their injury list. They have 26 fit players on their list at the moment

    This is one of probably two dozen reasons they've had to bring Swann and Thing-a-me-Bob in to City Hall. Current regime NFI about footy matters.

    Me mate is mad Norf, but like us 'Landers, detests Essendscum, Filth, Horeforn, Pork Barell Park, Carltank, etc, etc, etc. He recons staying home and watching the footy on Essendscum and Carltank nights is brilliant.

    Risky tip Ghosty. But like your bravery. And I know you'll also like this . . .

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
