Watts has four touches??? Seriously, what the hell.

no jamar ? did I miss something. Im not happy with this I know its the care factor cup but a winning culture breeds success and unlike previous years we have said we want to win yet with close to full strength we put in this tripe performance.

This is what concerns me. I know it is only pre-season, but we have a near full strength side while Essendon have a lot of key players out. We also had a 2 week break compared to a 6 day turn around. Not a great sign in my eyes.

Myers is going to be under investigation to the rape performed on Jack Watts tonight.

Bombers lining up for goal after Warnock has a massive brain fade. This could seal it for the bombers.

Ryder has scored

Bombers by 21.

Not happy hearing Moloney constantly bombing away inside 50. Warnock too, getting caught, skill errors, etc.

Good signs from Maric.

Watts injured.. or just missing?

Game over man, game over!!!

Tough to listen to. But we just plain didn't want it. The Etihad curse continues...

Plenty to like. More games into the kids. Trengove, Grimes, Sylvia, Jamar... some from the old, some from the new.

Bombers wanted it more, and had it all worked out more too. Sucks for us, but not the end of the world.

Davey the only injury worry?

Don't think Watts is injured.

Pretty poor considering the article about making a splash in the paper.

Bail loses his feat and Winderlich kicks a goal to seal it for the bombers

Time to hibernate until Round 1. Got a lot of work to do and for those that said top 4 four us, not gonna happen. Got our work cut out to mark top 8 in my opinion,

Davey is back on.

What's with the constant switching into the middle of defensive 50 to a contest and the hanballing to players 1 meter away under pressure?

The umpiring is disgraceful, Melbourne are playing horrible.

Good news re: Davey. As for Melbourne players handballing to players under pressure, that is a bad habit we've been guilty of for years!

Jurrah pulls down an awesome mark. Passes to Watts. Watts misses a supergoal

Silly free kicks coming in now. Davey again FFS.

Gee it didn't take long for the old MFCSS to kick in.

Many thanks to Utah for some excellent updates

Over umpired. We'er too slow

Gee it didn't take long for the old MFCSS to kick in.

I am new to this site, so that comment makes little sense. And even before tonight I though we were way of top 4 and not a certainty for finals. We are a young (and exciting) side, but we still have a lot of work to do as a team, especially in terms of development of young players. I am very much looking forward to season, and I only said hibernate as I have no interest in the NAB cup when Melbourne is out.

Demons getting frustrated. Bombers from point blank. 30pt lead to Bombers

Ok...weare not as good as the Media writes. Still much work to be done.

Still February though, but i expect a Hard week on the track because Essendon are not that good (or was M Knights a Garbage Coach?)

39 points to the bombers.

All over

39 point win to the bombers.

AFL website is saying the free kicks are something like 50-14 bombers favour.... that's wrong.. i hope?

Then again, the last 20 minutes i've been listening we've lost the plot

Just to enlighten you then.. MFCSS = MFC Supporter Syndrome. This is the belief that a loss equates to the footy equivalent of the end of the world. It most commonly manifests itself in the pre-season or early rounds.

The response was to your initial post which didn't illuminate on your belief as to how you already thought we would perform... I for one, believe we are still a good chance to make the finals at the time of the year it matters.
