Lets beat the Bombers!

Recommended Posts

I'm sick of the Bombers, let's finish their season! We can win this week, we need 4 quarters of good footy, like the 1st quarter against the Fockers....

Wona, Green should return.

C'mon PJ, serve it up to Hille for he's the benchmark this season!

FIRE UP!

"We need 4 quarters of good footy". - The real answer to our current form.

We have shown in some quarters we are equal to the best in the comp. But we must put 4 of them together to get us a win against the bombers. Essendon's relentless pressure on the ball carrier over the last 4 weeks has been a big key to their success. We may need to take a leaf out of their book.

Would like to see Wona and Green back in, and maybe Petterd in aswell.

I think we all want to see Petterd in at some stage before the season is out, just to remind ourselves how he is at AFL level. So would DB.

Certainly, the Bombers stuck it up the filth last week, the boys will have to be on their game if their to beat 'em.

When those players take the field this week, when the siren goes for the bounce, draft picks are the furthest thing from their mind. Can't stand those at Windy Hill - Finish their season I say!

Our season is already "finished". We can't make the finals [2 games and 20% out of the 8 with 5 games to go].

With your last 3 games against WCE, Port Adelaide and Richmond, a win on Saturday could do you more harm than good.

May the best team win.

I'm with ya HT. My brother is a bombers fan so if we only win one game for the rest of the year, I hope it is this one.

Although it may just be wishful thinking given eveything :mellow: !!!

This will be a close game, and we are a real chance to win.

The Bombers have been up for a number of weeks now, and have been the underdog in every game they have won. I am predicting a little bit of aura of inflated self worth from the Bombers team now they are playing against the "wooden spoon favourites" and are expected to clean us up.

Do i want us to win this game? Ask me retrospectively in about 5 weeks when i see how many wins we finish with.

The Saints Gave us the "Spoon" last week GOD BLESS THOSE HOPELESS SOULS. We can afford to win this week. Even the West Coke Eagles next week. Very Much doubt we shall win the last two rounds.

The man from Windy Hill is on the money here. I was not one of the fans who was jacked off because we beat the Lions a few weeks back. I loved it and felt it was one of the best wins we have had in 10 years. If we win this one however, we are in dangerous territory. West Coast in 2 weeks are every chance of tanking the game, suddenly we are 4 wins. AAMI stadium has been a hellhole for Melbourne forever and earlier in the year you`d have pencilled in another standard 70 point loss. Port are a basket case with more senior players in cotton wool than any team in the comp. We are a serious chance of beating them and suddenly we have 5 wins .... De Ja Vu

no way we'll win 3 out of 5

In what way are we a good chance to beat Port?

When flying we were still being smashed, average losing margin of over 60 points there over the last 6 years. I highly doubt we'll bet them, and the Tigers could be playing for a finals spot (mind you that would probably make us favourites)

Both teams will be going for the win i believe

Well... Port have won 2 of their last 10 games .One against Adelaide who they always grow a few feet against and one against Essendon when they were looking like spoon favourites!. They are a very ordinary team. We`re a chance!

We've won 2 games out of our past 17, one of those was against Fremantle when they were looking crap ordinary, playing them at a venue we didn't win at in 3 successive finals years.

It's a bit rich to start talking up our chances in matches such as these. At 2-15, except against WCE, we'll rightfully be underdogs for the rest of the season

Can anyone tell me where our Goals are going to come from ?

The forward line is the biggest problem, We need goals from a variety of forwards. Sylvia, Austin, Bate all need kick 2 or 3 goals to start with.

Losing Miller hasn't helped as he has been our main target.

My perfect end to the season

Beat Essendon by 2 goals

Lose to Geelong by 8 goals (lets be realistic)

Beat West Coke by 5 goals

Lose to Port by 11 pts

Lose to Richmond by 7pts

We have 1st pick in the ND and PSD (assuming West Coast win at least 4)

We get the Priority Pick

Get a couple of wins

Improve our effort at AAMI

Give Richmond one almighty scare as they fight for a finals spot.

I give us a sniff V Essendon this week.

Port are terrible right now.

This week you can add Salopek and Tredrea to their cotton wool brigade.

They have only won 2 of 10 games at AAMI stadium this year, which included losses to sides like Richmond and Carlton who traditionally don't travel well, and a Pavlich-less Freo last week.

Melbournes form has been decent in the last month. Beat Brisbane, competitive against the Bulldogs, 3 good quarters against North Melb and 35 mins of brilliant football against the Dockers.

Not saying you will win, but much stranger things have happened.

The way the draft picks are awarded is sucking so much out of the game! Here we are, getting ready to play one of our most hated rivals (MOST hated to me!), and we're saying it might be better if we lost. We're also discussing the wooden spoon like it's something to aim for, when in years gone by we'd all be screaming our lungs out, trying to lift our team off the bottom. I can only imagine, but thirty or forty years ago, games like Melb Vs WC would be highly anticipated because both teams wouldn't want the dishonour of finishing bottom. It would almost be like a relegation battle in soccer. It's just wrong!

For mine, I don't give a fark. I'd love to beat the scum!!!

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
