... made our performance on Thursday look like Champagne football.

See, there's always a silver lining :lol:

There's no way the GC performances should be compared to ours .

We "should" be miles infront in terms of developement .

Only way that I'd compare to us is that the bummers managed a larger lead in 1 quarter than we managed in a whole game, but I must say it is really of no importance.

I'm embarrassed for us and no laughing at GC especially at the hands of the scum will help .

Sarcasm emoticon or not .

Shows up the disparency between Essendon and us nicely I'd have thought.

New game record looming and happy to lose it

What really shows how bad we were is that the inside fifties in that quarter was 25-9.... We only managed 22-3

very much my thinking. It took a whole game and many many goals in junk time to amount that lead for us.

Cant help but be impressed by the Bummers today

I don't think it matters when you score the goals, we still performed well against the Suns in my opinion. GC beat Essendon in the second quarter today 5.2 to 3.0 by the way. Still, 15 goals in the first quarter pretty much seals it.

edit: also impressed with Essendon. Just goes to show you that a change in coach and admin can do wonders for a list. Essendon will trounce the Dee's in a few weeks.

Actually , to me it does. GC in the first qtr have fresh legs and all the game before them.. They jumped us. They have been pummeled by Essendon. We got our big scores agaisnt GC when they were knackered ( youngens ) We were junk time kings...Essendon have shown their ability when it really matters.

A big difference to me..:)

In that context, I do understand your position. Both Melbourne and Essendon have smashed GC, but Essendon have done it more convincingly by kicking 15 in the first quarter and the final margin is likely to be 20 goals plus easily.

The really sad thing ( for us ) is that despite the obvious difference in the sides ,GC are still having a crack, still playing with what they have at their disposal, still putting bodies on the line...... unlike some other club I could mention :rolleyes::(

But the awesome thing for us is that the likes of Tom Scully must be watching this game and wondering just how much worse GWS are going to be next season, especially if they don't attract a big name like Ablett (and they probably won't).

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
