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!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
