Dempsey played on



Recommended Posts

I don't know why, but I don't hate the Bombers any more.

I loathed them a decade ago, but now my hatred is directed squarely at Carlton - Mitch Robinson in particular, a lethal combination of ignorance and arrogance rolled into an ugly human phenotype.

I thought the Bombers deserved to win last night. That said, I'm thoroughly ambivalent about the result though.

I also wasn't absolutely convinced that Dempsey shouldn't have been able to have a set shot following the siren.

Very, disappointing; maintain the rage, don 't you remember the 2000 Grand Final and the Essendon 'enforcers' garrotting Brad Green and The Snake? Personally, I hope Essendon are at the beginning of the mid-season fade out and prove yet again that they have gotten ahead of themselves. PS I don't like Carlton either.

not too sure if the second adjective before the last noun is accurate. maybe if you added the prefix sub- it would be a better fit

I stand corrected - you're right.

Having read some articles this morning, it seems there's absolutely no controversy about the Dempsey decision, so I stand corrected there too.

After the 2000 Grand Final, I hated Essendon so much I was considering undertaking terrorist attacks on all things red and black. I don't think Hird even acknowledged the Dees in his post match acceptance speech - all he said was how great the Dons were.

Having said that, the rage has definitely diminished. Perhaps it is only a sickening loss away from coming back.

2005 EF not sickening enough? My family taught me to hate Collingwood but that's subsided over the years, I've learned to hate Essadon (sic) all on my own.

But finished with 3, or is it 5 premiership medals?

Brereton was an infinitely better player than Hurley, I was just raising the issue based on the style of play they share albeit Brereton did it better and could actually kick.

RB, go read Bomberblitz when they're up and about and see the dismissive disdain they have sides like Melbourne, along with the arrogant sense of entitlement. Not a small number of them actually think we don't deserve to be in the competition.

Maintain the hate!

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
