Some of the comments with this are putrid. I'm not from Melbourne; is this really typical of their supporters? Seriously?

Bit of a dumb question, heading to my first game at Marvel. Is there a Bombers store there at all? Want to grab the kids a new gurney at the game!

But if a dumb question, heading to my first game at Marvel. Is there a Bombers store there at all? Want to grab the kids a new gurney at the game!

think there’s a general AFL store there, but outside there should be a place to buy stuff.

don’t quote me on it, i dont really pay attention to the stores, just the location of the shitters & the bars

It's a full moon every night in the social media comments section. I avoid at all costs.

Low-key nervous as all **** for tomorrows game…anyone else?

 

[supportyourteam]

Yes slipped to 4th before the game even starts

I thought they'd stopped selling these since we beat GWS.

It's a pity we didn't take advantage of the opportunity for Caddy, Davey, Bryan, Lual, Roberts et al to play a VFL standard game in front of 45k Essendon supporters, and a few hundred Norf supporters.

It would have been a great opportunity to give Goldy, Stringer, Langer, Merret and McKay a rest.

 

[Keystone agony]

Hobbs or Shiel sub. Ill go with Shiel

Hind and Heppell needed for the wings

 

[scythe]

My first for the year. My brother's American in-laws are visiting and he had the idea to take them to a game, so looks like I'll be playing Mr. Footy Encyclopaedia. Should be a good excuse to keep my temper in check.

 

[Mootsy]

who won I didn’t even check the scores, lol.

day early

day early

ziggity dang!

 

[Jobe Watson]

If we want to be taken seriously, we should be winning by at least 100 points combined over the next 2 weeks. North and Richmond are VFL-grade at the moment.

No excuses to not win well tomorrow. Need to continue our edging streak.

day early

This was me too this morning. Almost opened the game day thread and everything before I realised.

Today’s the day we get to find out just how much bath water has been consumed this week.
If the boys really have turned a corner this should be a demolition with record breaking pressure not some asleep at the wheel party time bullshit… which kinda makes me relieved Draper is out

We will smash them.

Time to try a few different things - start 2MP in the ruck so he can get his hands on the ball early, Merrett and Gresham to the wings, Perkins & Hobbs lots of minutes on ball for their development. Heppell can be SUB to manage his workload.

Team;-

Kelly McKay Redman
Martin Lav McGrath
Merrett Caldwell Gresham
Shiel Stringer Guelfi
Jones Langford ADavey

2MP Durham Parish

Bench: Perkins Hobbs Hind Goldy
SUB: Heppell

Comon Dons we need the %...!!

 

[Call Me Cake]

Shiel is in as a late change to replace Cox for illness.

If Shiel is in, who's sub?

Shiel

Guys it’s not the test you think it all is.

North are so ****ing bad.

They could hardly jog in the last quarter up in Darwin. They would have had the hardest recovery week in AFL on top of being completely shit. And their captain is out.

Next week agains tigers might be a test.

This will be boring even to us.

Probably Hobbs or Davey, could be Shiel too

Richmond will cop it in the media this week and it’ll be a tough game at Dreamtime
