Happy it's a melbourne game! \o/

Couldn't careless who we play...does it matter? No.

What really matters.

1.We don't get any injuries

2.All Players have a crack and build on confidence

would have liked the friday night match...so i could pickup the saturday morning paper and have a good read about my demons!

    Surely it'll be St Kilda.

    You would think so, but in reality hard to call. Essendon have to do the two teams/play all the kids split games thing, but St Kilda will be resting quite a few senior players it seems.

    Essendon very confident .... already.

    Thursday? Probably not that strange as it wasn't that far back that these games were played on Monday nights.

    Thursday night is one thing, but why on earth is it a 7.10pm start and not 7.40pm, like Friday night?

    That's really pushing it for the majority of supporters who work. Makes no sense!

    I think the idea is so that people can get up for work the next day in a better fashion- pathetic, really.

    Crappy ground, but another chance of exposure to a ground we traditionally struggle playing on. We all know that we can kill it at the G, but i love that we're playing pre season games at grounds we usually drop games on. Can only be a good thing for the younger players.

    Yes i agree, let's play the next month on Grounds we don't like...learning to win. Round 1 against the Swannettes, 50,000+ at the MCG.

    Very good point Mallee. Is it being Televised on F.T.A?? surely not. That is a major drag 2 weeks in a row.... :huh:

    It makes sense to me.

    I just can't wait to see the Dees live in action in a semi-important game. I really hope we (dees fans) come to Etihad in full force. It pains me when i cast my mind back to '08 when we played the Dogs and the Saints at the same venue- and it was like we were an interstate team!

    Certainly won't be Brisbane, Bombers just thumped them by 10 goals. St Kilda v Brisbane about to start. Essendon went in with a pretty strong squad, I would guess over 90%. Brisbane went in with a much younger and inexperienced squad.

    will hold opinions till Ess v Sainters.. Bummers had no competition to speak of and still got sloppy. Bit more purposeful than last year... no more dangerous though

  • Quote

    Bring on the bombers, rip 'em to shreds Melbourne.

    Saints and Bombers Draw we will play Essendon next Thursday

    Bummer ... for me, would have been much more interesting/useful to play a more mature team like St Kilda. Essendon - hard to get worked up about, whatever the outcome.

    watch the board go into meltdown if we lose though.

    Sweet. Thursday and Sunday twilight were the only times I could go. And we should beat the Bombers too.

    Looking good.

    We should be able to handle the bombers, but a lot depends on who we play on the night. We have also struggled against fast attacking teams in the past, so that should be a good test for us.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
