Fill the fridge up people. We will be drowning our sorrows after tonites game. Can't believe the selections.

I just wander why? Slept in? Or drinking too much ??

Too busy masticating over his weet bix for the team selections this evening.

That is the most utterly disgusting team we have picked all year. The ins include slow wet wags, I like the way they drop Lockhart and don't bring in someone to play on Butler. What is going to be. Tomlinson ?????? St Kilda would be wetting themselves looking at that side.

Yes I hope hawthorn win but both sides skills are well down.

So you are happy that we all go back into Stage 3 or 4 lockdown every time there are a series of breakouts and our health and hospital systems can't manage the workload and they are getting covid.  Hospital wards close and fewer and fewer non covid procedures are carried out.  Shops close, schools close, restaurants close, no concerts, football, cinemas etc etc. 

I truly hope that you and your family do not get this wretched virus, are not one of the frontline workers or someone who will lose their job or lose their business because of the lockdowns. 

One way or another everyone suffers from outbreaks.

Won't happen?  Look at New Zealand.  No cases for 3 months then within a week there are a hundred cases and Auckland goes into lockdown.  Not sure they yet know how this 'patient zero' caught it.

Lockdowns will continue until there is widespread vaccination.

It isn't about protecting you.   Its about protecting everyone around you that you might infect.

Well Sweden may have been right all along. It will take until April/May next year to find out. 

How do we know there will ever be a vaccine ? A continuous state of lockdowns !!!!! That will never work.

Lose this week and its...... Thats all folks.

This nth/filth match is beyond a joke. The worst football I have seen in ages.

Only 1 thing in our favour for next week. St Kildas inconsistancy.

overuse of handball around centre clearance work. Costly turnovers.

And this happens how often. In most games unless the opposition midfield is asleep. Biggest problem at the club.

Harmes is a tagger, Nothing more. The HBF is one of Goodys fascinating little tricks that does not work. I will leave it at that.

I have been watching a performance like today from the MFC for years. Typical. Beat up a few weak teams then play one roughly equal to us and we play like headless chooks. They are no better than us except in one area. Upstairs.

Toss a coin up for this one. Interesting to see us play a decent side.

Are they playing with a wet piece of soap ?

In a heartbeat at a Bennell rate.

I agree but only if we are playing. The premiers of QLD,WA and SA are all behaving like dictators. Only kim jong dan is worse.

Maybe it should be held in Port Morseby.

So in the last 3 games we have played the 2 worst in the comp and the filth who were badly depleted. Tmrw we play an inconsistent but a capable side so winning this will give us some better impotus for the rest of the season. Losing it will mean the previous 3 weeks were a dream.

On the side I can understand no changes but why is tomlinson still playing. Against a quicker running side like the dogs I would give Rivers a run.

I hope the suns win by a point.

Current. Max

Past. Flower and Grinter.

If he's playing it generally means we've hit an injury crisis.

With that being said the club is going to have to be careful with the Freo game in Cairns off a 4 day break, so perhaps he might get a gig in that game if multiple defenders like Hibberd, Lockhart and Rivers need a rest. 

Don't underestimate freo.

12 months later at the same ground didn't end so well.

The late S Clark had a set shot for goal after the siren with half the Essendon membership base on the ground to put him off. Alas he didn't make the distance and we lost by 6 points.

I remember that one as well. It was a decent torp by clark that landed in the goal square I think.

Also remember being 47 points up on them after I think Tony Sullivan kicked a goal for us in the first minute of the last quarter and losing by a few points. Those arsehles Kickett and Wanganeen ruined my day.

We did not have a good record out there but the game where Jacko was piffing tinnies back at the dons cheer squad was one I remember.I think it was 1982.

That was 1 day as an MFC supporter I will never forget. I went and stood in the Essendon members area with my boss who was a mad dons supporter. It was right where jimmy and I think Salmon had a stoush on the fenceline. When the siren went I snuck off pretty quickly as the druggos were mad as hell. Never said a word to the boss either as I might of got the sack at a footy ground on a saturday.

And people on here criticise his kicking!  Posters will dig up his mistakes this year but in the big picture he is a rock in his position and gives us good drive from d50.

Greatly underrated on this site.

Could not agree more. I have always regarded Salem as one of our best players. The criticism he gets here is somewhat mystefying and the same could be said about Brayshaw. All players have highs and lows in their careers.

Wouldn't be playing Tomlinson.
