Except that it is only Essendon's second game in Melbourne for the year, they will be out in numbers given the circumstances. There will be way more than 36k there.

Wasn't there some rule that you're not allowed stripes on away strips ... unless you are Collingwood? Or Geelong? Personally I would like to see some variation on the 140th hoops as an away strip. Introduce more variation from year to year. Something like this: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hWSDrUuAPX8...

Get there early to be safe

Temporary fix

I think I will print some off myself, saying "James Hird is rhyming slang"

Bombers fans have donated about $6000 to print off thousands of signs supporting their embattled coach James Hird for this Saturday's match against St Kilda.

It's going to be ugly

happily we'll win next week imo.

One story that I'm surprised hasn't been recounted in all this is the following: I went to the A-League grand final at the dome (forget which year but it was when Victory beat Adelaide 6-0). The game was going along as normal and then it started raining., at this point it became obvious that the roo...

Ironic considering the John Platten connection

The man is an idiot. If I'd been in charge I would have delisted him for bringing the club into disrepute you know when.

I don't understand why they stopped selling the long sleeves guernseys. I would buy one if they sold them. If anyone wants one, I just found some (2012) long sleeve jumpers available on eBay for $55, all sizes available too. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/St-Kilda-Saints-2012-Long-Sleeve-Guernsey-Sizes...

Sure Armo looked around confused but I think he only did that cause he knew he was guilty and wanted to alleviate the blame

Is that Borat?

I don't care what they wear at training either, but the thing is, they are trying to sell the training jumper to us. Seriously, they would be lucky to sell about three of those monstrosities. The mark-up on merchandise is huge, and a decent design would bring revenue to the club. The fact that they ...

I've looked for the quote and couldn't find it. I'd like to know exactly what he did say, because if he did say that I'll cancel my membership tomorrow. Loyalty is one thing but I am not putting in good money for a loser mentality. Yes, fate conspired to rob us four times. But if you look at the way...

I like the SImpsons too

KOCH is a German surname, and it is pronounced "c**k" not "COSH".

Hear it for yourself:

I guess the theory is they can sell more of an alternative strip by wearing it in more games, NAB cup being a good chance to parade it. I believe that's why you get (e.g.) the bulldogs playing in red against the hawks in white. Madness, but the reason is commercial. Personally I think it's good to s...

As much as the old farts won't like it, the old school rock pleases only one demographic and has to go. I still think it has to be something contemporary - as well as having some link to SKFC:

Bring it

They would most likely strip the winner of the Premiership. It is not reawarded, there is simply no winner for that year, as happened to Melbourne Storm.

I still do not really understand why Essendon was not stripped of 1993.

And now please welcome onto Etihad Stadium, the ESSENDON team!
