It is Mushroom season, let us not forget!

But i do hope you are right....I got laughed at in the pub last friday night for admitting i was a demon. Since i was at school in the 70's not much has really changed.

Beating Hired's Turds would be enormous.....

Worry not. They're called 'shrooms.

Since early in the season I have been of the opinion that the Bummers will slow down towards the half way mark as being a young team and pushing so hard will inevitably take its toll.

Except this week they have had a week off to recoup......

If Trengove, Scully, and Gawn are named I'm confident we'll win... That's also assuming we don't lose someone mid-week like Sylvia, Moloney, Frawley.

Don't forget the man with the moustaka may be making a return this week also. That alone should be enough to get us all along to the game with confidence.

Good that we have a chance of getting some of our players back on the park this week. I don't see any reason why Scully won't be played, from all reports he had solid hit-out on Saturday. Trengove will come back in, and I got a feeling Dunn will too.

With those ins, I'd say we'll see Bate be dropped, and I was thinking that either one of Bennell or Jetta but does anyone else think we desperatley need some pace around ground?

Though I'm still out on just how good Essendon are, I can't really see us beating them this week. Our injuries still hurt our structure, even more so with Essendon having Hille and Ryder. Stef has done well and I've been impressed but Hille and Ryder are no chumps.

My gut's been telling me all week we're gonna win.

I don't see how Gawn being in the team would help our chances though. You expect him to get 30 hit-outs, 20 touches, 10 marks and 5 goals in his debut game? He'll be lucky to get 5 touches and not give away too many free kicks.

Hahahah. God I wish he would shave that thing off..

I'm wondering how far Jamar is off returning....Missed North, St.Kilda, Carlton games...wasn't it initially "3-5 weeks."

Much will depend on the availability of Watson and the Bombers midfield. They're a better performed team at Etihad, as we are at the G. That said, even with the return of Dunn, Trengove we're still severely depleted now with question marks on the fitness of some players.

With our lack of performance in the forward line and a refreshed Fletcher, it will be an uphill battle from go to wo.

Pushing hard is something the Dees can not be accused of, so if they decide to go out with the intention of giving it their all for 4 quarters, there is no reason they couldn't run over the Bummers for a much needed (in so many ways) win.

Whilst I hope like hell all you folks are correct, I fail to see what will make the players "go out with the intention of giving it their all for 4 quarters", when they have failed to do so on one single occasion this year. Doesn't exactly instill any confidence.

Playing the Filth will. Pity we'll lose anyway.

I am putting it on the line and saying that I am absolutely certain we will bash the Bombres this week. Hard earned will be splashed on my blind faith!

I have watched Essendon this year with some interest, given their somewhat meteoric rise under pretty boy Hird.

I think that they have the nucleus of a good spine, but they are hardly there yet. Their start of the year was all emotion, and they have great leg speed, so that when they get their tails up, they can be hard to stop. However, they are actually ordinary and I predict that they will miss the 8.

The way they play I reckon suits us, because they will let also us play our way.

Dees by 20!

Not a chance. They play to our biggest weakness. They get their goals from a fleet of small fast forwards. We have never been able to cope with that. Our backline is set up to deal with tall KPPs, not a mosquito fleet. They will move it quickly through the middle and run rings around our lumbering giants in the back 50. This is going to hurt folks.

I can't see Melbourne kicking a winning score.

And I back up the thoughts of Demon4Life, re Gawn. Wasn't he playing Casey seconds a few weeks back?

Good luck against Bellchambers, Hille and Ryder. But then again, he is probably a better back up to Martin than Newton.

Perhaps the criticism dished out by Mitch Robinson might fire Melbourne up. You do play the MCG well, and if Hurley and in particular Watson are still missing, Melbourne aren't without a chance.

But I would think Essendon would be pretty upset if they don't take the four points.

Well I hope you have applied for a job on the psychic hotline, cos you predicted the win (although your margin was a bit on the cheap side wasn't it?)

Har de har har har (as I said to my Essendon work colleague when he said they would smash us tonight).

Now - I would REALLY like to beat the Pies next week, because their fans really annoy me (as does Mick Malthouse). ;)

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    Last week Captain Max Gawn consolidated his lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Alex Neal-Bullen & Jake Lever make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Blues. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
