It'll be Vs Geelong at Eithad the Queens Birthday long weekend.

We've got a VFL curtain raiser for that match too at Etihad.

Don't they realise it starts for them Monday 12th September?????

Stewart Crameri, Jason Winderlich, Courtenay Dempsey and Brent Prismall will be the only 4 players on our list who would be unavailable due to injury (not counting Mark Williams who retired). Really that's not too bad and I'd be shocked if we could get it any better in the years ahead. Of those 4 wo...

Next Sunday 2pm Teac Oval (Port Melbourne) Vs Northern Bullants (Carlton's alignment). Be nice to knock them out and Carlton in successive weeks. Yes Bendigo has been VERY ordinary the past few weeks but Northern Bullants haven't been much better having lost by 100pts to Casey Scorpions. Be interest...

They have to have played 7 VFL games only IF they have played AFL after 1st July.

Sammy was injured and hasn't played AFL since June therefore he only requires to have played 1 VFL game which he qualifies for today.

You only have to have played ONE game to qualify and he has done that today.

Why wouldnt he be picked for our VFL final next week?

Did Fletch play today? If not that is an awesome idea to ensure our best forward (Hurley) and best backman (Fletcher) have not played a game for 3 weeks going into an elimination final. While we are at it, maybe Knights was on to something and we should rest Hille, Ryder and Bellchambers for the fi...

We very likely will be IN the finals next Sunday before the ball has bounced at Etihad. Collingwood beat Fremantle in Perth Friday night. St Kilda beat North Melbourne at Etihad Saturday night. We're already 6pts ahead of them so if the above occurs we won't even have to beat Port to make it. IF thi...

Caro just said she was at the footy on Saturday night (Essendon Vs Sydney) and had all these bozos going up to her giving her the arrow.
=D>

none of the umpires tonight were involved with the cheating result that occurred in Round 2.

Maybe should never have got him BUT I'm sick to death of hearing on the footy shows tonight how it was a terrible trade on ESSENDON's behalf.

Ummmmmmmmmm the trade was done by Matthew Knights. Why doesn't this get mentioned? He was the coach at the time so the buck must stop with him.

would it be bigger than our upset win over the Cats?

Probably even more.

We don't get the same numbers rock up to away games and yes the result from Saturday night will have an effect on our support too.

You only need to look at our members turn up to the Geelong game after having been pumped by the Hawks the week before.

MCC predicts 80K for Sunday. They underestimated us by 10K Vs Carlton so lets see how close they get this week. (overestimated Dees Vs Hawks too. predicted 48K and they only got 29K) My prediction: 60K Pies fans (this is where their 3 game members get access), 20-25K of us (which is pretty poor real...

Sydney don't have it easy either. They have a bye this week followed by us, St Kilda, Geelong in Geelong, Richmond (who love to beat up on interstate sides at the G) and Brisbane at the SCG (only certain win for mine). Win all 3 our Etihad games and i'll predict we will make it. Be nice to finish 8t...

Would have been another 10K had the game been scheduled during the day.
