Essendon are having their all too familiar fade out halfway into a season. Can't say I'm too unhappy after copping it from their supporters for the start of the year.

I guess what it does show is that if your cattle is rubbish the coach setup really doesn't matter.

I know a few here were saying we needed a similar setup and a good game day coach. Hird has been totally out coached tonight and to me highlights the pitfalls of expecting a change of coach will automatically bring sustained success.

In the meantime suffer bombers and dees please turn up and bring your A game tomorrow!

Go dees!

"He's not the Messiah. He's just a very crappy coach."

I picked them for the spoon in our pre-season predictions thread. They won't quite slide that far but the bottom four definitely beckons for them.

Go read the wrist-slashing on Bomber Blitz. It's a guilty pleasure!

Nothing more satisfying then watching these smug pricks get flogged.

Well, apart from carlton getting flogged by more:)

I love us to [censored] the Tigers by more. :wub:

I don't think anyone really wanted to see the pretty boy succeed, but even more satisfying for me is seeing that hypocrite mercenary behind him suffering. Not a fan of his at all after the Ablett fiasco. Even better is that Geelong have actually gotten better this year too. Sucked in Bomber.

You'd think they were Melbourne supporters circa 2003

A competitive effort will do my soul wonders tomorrow.To be in the eight is not important to me this year.Exposing the new players and our future has been satisfying.Closing the yaps of the Jack Watts demolition team,has been one of my greatest pleasures.

My greatest pleasure has been watching a kid from South Australia Be MFC

Fair point.

Poor year = 8 wins or less

Good year = 9-11 wins

Great year = Finals

James "i can't stand seeing Essendon play like this under Matthew Knights" Hird will take the Bombers nowhere in the next 3-4 years and watch how quick Simon Goodwin and others jump ship.

Umm,Sean Wellman!!!

I think essenDONE spent too long over summer celebrating the miracle that did not happen.

Always believed their coaching panel WOULD play better footy then THE TEAM.

Collingwood on Grand Final day... MUCH more fun to watch them beaten by either a point, or by 100.

Have a look at their list.

What does it teach you?

Don't hold onto not quite rights hoping they come good.

A clean out is needed at that club.

So many wasteful players out there tonight. Spike McVeigh, Welsh, Ryder, Alwyn Davey, Prismall...and then the kids behind them pick up bad habits. Myers was one of their top draft picks IIRC. Useless til injured.

Even Gadget is finally starting to look past it.

I know how good is it. I bet Bomber Thompson isnt having as much fun. He would not be used to being involved in a team that has lost 5 in a row.

The thing is if it was any other coach they would be calling for his head. But most of the fans wont turn on Hirdy.

This is why Im glad now Garry Lyon wont coach us. He was my fave player and I dont think I could ever abuse him or want him to be sacked if we wernt travelling so well.

Thanks essendon for keeping 8th spot warm for us. But we will gladly take it off your hands. Come on melbourne please please win tomorrow.

The best thing essendon are playing geelong next week. 6 losses in a row coming up.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
