Essendon were pretty ordinary with there win over GWS and Hirdy and coaching staff were not happy about it. Hirdy was pretty [censored] off at the insipid effort some of his players brought to the game.

I hate to say it but we might be facing Essendon this week that will have has a rocket shoved fair up em.

If they play anywhere near their potential it could be another 20 goal flogging. Lets hope their injuries help us out.

This one is probably our best chances of pinching a win before the bye. Bombers are due for a loss and I'd like to think the players would have some confidence knowing we beat them the last two time we met. Coming off a game against GWS doesn't help them either and we will rightly be given no chance.

But haven't said that. Pretty much agree with your prediction.

Pain? I'm going to the game with 2 essendon "mates."

I use inverted commas because when they go to the footy they turn into arrogant w#nkers win, lose or draw. So I have 2 hours of listening to " oh how bad are melbourne, you'll fold in 3 years... remember 2000... when was you're last premiership again.... I can't wait to suck hirdy's di(k." And so on and so forth. If we are to win only one game this year, please let it be this game.

We'll get smashed. They have everything we don't have. Strong, hard-bodied, skillful mids, and 22 players who are ferocious and fight at every contest. And they run games out.

That doesn't mean we can't at least try our best and be competitive early, or even late, or just at some point. I hope.

Essendon supporters make me laugh. They're arrogant to hell but they can afford to be. Great club with plenty of success.

Probably another 5-10 goal loss. 70 points, maybe.

i had a read on bomberblitz.

Their changes for this week

ins: Percentage

Outs: Bruises

:(

I chuckled out loud. I hate the Bombers, but unfortunately, BomberBlitz has pretty much hit the nail on the head with this one (bar a miracle/debacle I dare not to hope for). I can't see them coming into this game complacent in any way after the weekend just gone. Grrrr, the arrongant bastards make me so angry!

Ther is no way in a million years we wil get closer than 75 points against Essendon and expect the same against Collingwood, we are the worst l have ever seen in 50 years of supporting them, an absolute rabble, will not win one game this year, even if we get to 12 points down we will still get mashed in the last quarter.

Easenscum can kick 10 in a quarter. We can't manage 10 in a game ( in fact it nearly takes us two games!)

We might drag them back to our level for a while, but to win, we have to kick a score. Unfortunately for all of their effort, the Dees have no idea how to do this at the moment.

I would love to beat them, but then I wake up.

Margin won't be as big as some are suggesting. I saw a few things starting to click against Carlton. Subtle things. Things that will give the players confidence.

Sooner or later, a light is going to go iff in the minds of our boys and they're going to have an "I'm gonna kill the bear" moment.

Could it be this week? There's something brewing at Demonland.

When I have time to watch games at the moment, which is rare, I ignore the score and focus on which players are developing. In essence I have my own scoreboard – not that it is any better reading than the actual scoreboard some weeks.

I've had my clerk's visor on, assiduously poring through mountains of records looking for an omen against this particular enemy.

Eureka! Round 7 1966 - a winless Melbourne shows a bit for the first time for 3 quarters against C'wood in round 6 at Vic Park before getting blown away in final quarter. Plays reigning premier Essendon next week and wipes the floor with them.

Follow the form! :wacko:

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
