Just don't serve them at Richmond or Collingwood games, should be right 😂

Nope got served a can yesterday and was beautiful sitting in the sum enjoying a can watching the Demons do their thing.

Hmm similar content but distinct lack of font size and colour changes. I'm not sure 🤔

Spargo was brilliant a few times today with repeat efforts and tackling to lock the ball in when outnumbered. I thought Sparrows pressure was enormous too especially early. Never dies wondering, Sparrow.

Returning to Perth for the first game since the GF should get the players in a good mood.

Club policy

Their injury list pre-round 1 had the writing on the wall. Even without covid they were in for a long season.

Actually I've under-rated him, would probably push out Jordon or take Brayshaws spot if he leaves. Didn't realise he was only 26 still a few good years left you'd think.

Not sure about 22 but would replace Baker on the list. Similar situation to Dunstan, securing depth.

Not worried about Clarry at all. Will sign on next year when he needs to.

I love this. English is ok but nowhere near the level of Gawn or Jackson. Staying at the Dogs is good for us.

Cheers I knew I'd heard the $60m figure somehwere but thought I must have mistaken it for revenue

I think they said on On The Couch Allen is the only WCE player under 23 to play 20 games let alone 50!

The timeslots have not been terrible. Ok the opening game on a Wednesday was a step too far but it was a one off and was a chance for supporters to see the flag unfurled. We've then had Friday night, Saturday night and Saturday twilight. Much better than 320 or 440 on a Sunday. Supporters need to get used to it because we will have similar slots going forward if we continue to be successful. Twilight games against North and Freo, night games against Swans and Lions, probably more night games later in the year against Dogs, Pies and Blues.

It can be especially problematic when the successful culture is spearheaded by a strong leader (Norm Smith, Tom Hafey, Kevin Sheedy) and then when that person finally leaves the bottom seems to drop out of the whole place. It is also problematic when club's have a born to rule mentality - Carlton are just coming to grips with it now and at Essendon, well we all know what happened there. The problem with "the bad times going on for long enough" is that sometimes they go for so long club's completely forget how they ever became successful in the first place (see Melbourne). It takes a massive effort and strong leaders to shift the culture and get things back on track but it's no easy task and many try and fail.

Mark Robinson is appointed the Chief Football Writer of the Herald Sun because NewsCorp sees him as an everyman, a man of the people. This is how NewsCorp views its audience, beer swilling, chain smoking, barely literate buffoons.

First thing Essendon needs to do is can Dodoro but it will probably be Rutten in the firing line

I think it was closer to $60m wasn't it Edit sorry you're right $20m https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-05-21/west-coast-eagles-and-fremantle-dockers-coronavirus-response/12271900

GWS last year as well. Hoping I don't attend another loss live for a few years, make the G a fortress please 🙏

And more to the point, former coach

They're probably still in iso

It's a professional sport, they're well paid, with that comes the public and media scrutiny. Essendon are underperforming. It's probably more the list manager than the coach at fault. Rutten can only do so much but the way they're playing also leaves a lot to be desired. Stringer keeps getting injured because he's lazy and doesn't work hard enough to get himself fit. In the offseason there was an article that said he'd never run more than 2km during preseason in his career I kid you not! I thought I'd misread but Robbo reiterated it on 360 tonight. Some guys like just being known as footy players they don't want to do what it takes to achieve success. Thank god we've weeded those guys out of the MFC for now.

As a fellow AFL member I agree the facilities are ****house and feel as though they've just been left to rot. I'm gonna try the bar on level 2 as that seems much better although not sure if it's restricted to dining packages? I went and sat up on level 2 on Saturday and the view, seats and facilities were a class above what's available downstairs. I may have to start moving across to the other side in GA as although we get seats right on the wing the atmosphere is horrible and when playing most other Vic teams it feels like you're sitting amongst the opposition members area.

It would be great to bring the Demon back - I like our current logo but my kids think its boring - they want something with a Demon on it. Would be great to have the monogram as the "official" logo but a Demon logo for other branding/merchandise
