Milkshake and Weid out, should not play ones again. May will miss with concussion. Petty may be doubtful, but he did play on after his injury (looked like an ankle). Dunstan is depth at best. Hopefully Langers and Harmes come in, TMac in but does he go back? If so, is it time for Van Rooyen if he hits the scoreboard at Casey tomorrow? Would like to see Hibbo in,but maybe another game at VFL, get him in for Collingwood to smack Ginnivan into the universe.

That’s not the point. Viney was suspended because of the action and how it looked. The AFL want to protect the integrity of the game. Franklin threw a punch. If they are consistent, he gets a week at least

He shouldn’t be. This is going to be really interesting with the MRO. He fair and square punched Cotchin in the jaw. So we will see what the MRO deems to be the issue, the action or the consequence. Did Viney hurt Collins? No, but he got 2 weeks.

Tomlinson in. One of Brayshaw or Hunt to the wing. Melksham or Bedford as sub

Hopeless? Really? Was it hopeless 7 days ago? A better choice of word may have been “unusual”

More to the point, 2 games and 20% ahead of third

Max is playing. Goodwin said so in his press conference. He also said they are not interested in resting players. What I take from that is that we have a group who do not want to miss games due to niggling type injuries. It has been instilled in him by the fitness staff. It is no wonder we are the best team in the competition.

That was due to Covid. Which is sort of my point - what are Essendon playing at here?

I cannot recall a team losing 5 players to illness, but stand to be corrected. What is going on here?

At the G…….in September……..NO-ONE

Maybe 17 clubs know they can’t match a certain team? Did they watch the GF last year and go OMG

In all probability, Smith would have a premiership medallion had he not been injured during the finals

Don’t know. Do you have intel into what players are paid and how that fits into the cap?

Watching the Momentum video on the club website, Gus is Melbourne through and through. He is going nowhere.

Spot on. Which is probably why we won 20.5 games last year, and a flag.

In a recent interview, Bontempelli said that we just went to another level during the latter part of the GF. It was the level that most of us knew this team was capable of. They will get enormous belief from that. So to answer the question of the post, no.

IMO, the most influential player ever to wear the red and blue

Oliver. The whole passage of play, Jackson’s follow up, the handball, Clarry just swallows it at full speed, then the kick which sails over the goal umpires head. And the reaction of the Bulldogs, as if to say “we can’t beat this mob”. It just highlighted how much better we are than any team going around. We finally went to that GEAR we all knew we had.

Agree with everyone’s sentiments here. It’s great to see a bloke who gives his all being rewarded accordingly. Well done Mitch and MFC

When I read that Macrae had won that medal

Cheeky little whack from the Trac, loved it

When I read this, I almost choked on my fifth beer for the day, spilling it down the front of the guernsey I haven’t taken off in 3 days

Nah, he is waiting till after the GF, and he is nominating us

I would have thought that if Cerra wanted to go to Carlton he would have nominated them by now. Or am I being too logical

Goody said in his press conference this morning that May would not be taking part in the match sim. He also said that with his rehab schedule planned for the week, he is certain to play in the GF
