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!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
