I have also been to all of them. I have lost my mum to BC since the last Field of Women. I will be there on Sunday in her memory. I can only reiterate what an amazing feeling it is to be in the middle of the MCG in a sea of pink.

I think he looks more comfortable out there and seems to get more involved each week.

I agree - it certainly felt like there were more at the game. I have always disliked the 3.20pm games but I am slowly coming around. I guess we will just have to get used to the timeslot as it is obviously here to stay.

I was sitting in the Members and he got a huge ovation from the crowd when he came on. I thought he looked a bit slow as well but I guess he was just finding his feet after a long time out of the game. Has not lost any endeavour but agree that his disposal needs working on.

Good luck to Bernie Vince for his 100th game today. ❤️?

Can’t wait for this afternoon. I will be there - Go Dees ❤️?

This whole story is just so sad. What a brave, beautiful man and his wonderful, supportive family. I have worked in Palliative Care and he will be so well cared for with dignity and respect. My heart goes out to the whole family.

I tried to talk my niece in naming her unborn child Bernie. She is a Dees supporter and I remember we sat down and went through the list. She picked out a few names like Jake, Oliver, Jesse and Jordan but unfortunately she had a girl. She is pregnant again so I am sure we will go through the same process again with the footy record.

One of my favourites. Has been great for our club and I wish him the best for a fantastic game on Sunday.

Wow 27 - 13 frees.

The Essendon crowd are absolutely feral.

Great tribute. Glad his little bloke knows the words to the best team song in the AFL. ❤️?

First time I have smiled all week. Great news.

I am still feeling terribly upset after Saturday's loss which is unusual for me as I am usually OK the next day. At work yesterday a male colleague confided that he went outside and had a bit of a sob after the game. A Carlton supporter colleague told me he felt more upset about Melbourne's loss than Carlton's loss. Even my husband is being nice and telling me we will still make finals. I don't think I can watch the game on Saturday night so I have booked tickets to the movies and will check the scores when I get home. I did not feel the pain so much when we lost to Collingwood at the end of last season as I was sitting in ICU supporting a family member for four days who nearly died from the flu so those few days were a bit of a blur. I hope I can break this feeling of doom and gloom.....

As a child and young teen I went to nearly every Dees game with my dad but he point blankly refused to take me to a game at Geelong. As an adult, I did trek out to Geelong once and once only. I understood my dads reasons after that.

Tattooed would be even better.

I woke up this morning hoping I had just had a bad dream last night and we had won. I am interstate at a conference and the hotel TV was only showing the Brisbane game so I relied on a few apps and Demonland to keep up to date. I just feel so sad and quite teary this morning. I haven’t obviously watched the replay and not sure if I want to when I get home later. Usually I get sulky but I am just plain sad ? I am ready to murder my husband as he keeps reminding me the Pies are in the top four. I really hope the Tigers smash them next week. The conference was a waste of time, the hotel was terrible, I haven’t slept properly for two nights courtesy of a lumpy bed and noise from the nightclub next door. And now I am trying to come to terms that we won’t make finals again this year. All in all a weekend from hell. i need to go home and hug my dog but just got a text to say my flight has been delayed ????

You are very polite. I would have asked them to leave.?

Nice goal Jessie. C’mon Dees

Been in lots of corporate boxes over the years due to work. To be honest I much prefer to sit out in the members but it’s a great view and sometimes the food is better than your average pie and chip. You do need to show a level of restraint though especially if your boss is present.

I really do not know of another club who has so many players with foot/toe injuries as we have had in recent times.
