Well, it’s definitely #AFL season.
I’m not going to get too negative yet. Lots of season left and a very young team. Hate losing to Hawthorn like that though. #GoDons

Essendon basically disappeared in the back half of the 2nd Quarter. I don’t believe that’s who we are; need the younger players to get pissed off. #GoDons

Jack Ginnivan has really decided to double-down on the hateability factor. #GoDons

@donthestat.bsky.social Jono sending your Dad all the best for a speedy recovery…. Humey I’m going to visualise your idea of the game being won by Zach kicking a goal at the end & acknowledging the sash. Worthwhile listen as per usual.

The historic rivalry between the Bombers & Hawks reaches boiling point on Friday night following Hawthorn’s brazen off-season pursuit of Zac Merrett Essendon (15th in 2025, 6W, 17L) are desperate for a fresh start after a 2025 campaign defined by midfield inconsistency Hawthorn (8th, 0W, 1L) was competitive for three terms against GWS in Opening Round but were bridge-gapped by GWS's early efficiency, eventually falling by 27 points Merrett remains the heartbeat of the side, coming off a 2025 season where he was premier possession winner despite his team's defensive fragility Jack Gunston was decent in the season opener, scoring four goals out of seven score involvements Hawks have dominated this matchup recently, winning 4 out of the last 5 head-to-head matches including a 26 point victory in Round 1, 2025 Hawthorn’s Tom Barrass & Josh Battle bolster their aerial strength, leaving an injury-hit Essendon vulnerable at the source on the expansive MCG wings

Wouldn’t be a a Bombers pre-season without some injuries. But a lot better than past years. Is that cautious optimism I’m feeling? #GoDons
