Hahahaha!! I can see it mate. But i kid you not more fights and almost fights happened at windy hill. In 1990 when we won out there i feared for my life leaving. Still sang the song though!!

both vi park and windy hill could be fearsome

My mate injured his leg and refused to go on crutches to WH as he insisted the "fans" would kick his crutches out

We went every week to every match plus some

The next best thing after a Demons win is an Essendon loss and this mob have capitulated in fine style after being touted as a flag fancy earlier in the season. Anyone who has mates who bang on and o

Glad to know we started it - one of the few positives for the year.

Yep. Such a shame the local grounds have gone. Etihad just does not interest me.

But waking up years ago thinking "sh!t today i am going to drive to WH or VP or Moorabin!!

Fearsome days...

Being bought up at the MCG and VFL Park any game that I went to where I had to stand I felt as though I was slumming it.

Vic Park provided the eye real openers for a kid tho'.

They were truely feral.

Windy Hill was certainly the most dangerous ground I went to in the old days.

Even at the old Western Oval I parked a relatively new car in the back streets and it was still there after the game!

But for me, Hawthorn suppporters are the worst wherever they are - their arrogance defies belief - and worse still, they appear to have more Range Rovers than Melbourne supporters could ever afford, and yet we are usually credited with that ownership statistic (and going to the snow in winter)!

Agree. I recall as a kid feeling sick of intimidation just by how many bomber supporters were behaving badly (drunken gutter language) around me on the outer at Windy Hill. I think that is image and feeling that has stayed with me; how my hatred of the Bombers remains.

Bulldogs supporters to me are royalty compared to Bomber and Hawk supporters.

Totally agree on the Range Rover comparison.

Exactly. The Collingwood "rivalry" has reduced in relevance to the point where I reckon it's almost embarrassing. A one way rivalry isn't a rivalry.

Went to Waverley with my brother on law (Essendon supporter) and my son many years ago to see them play Carlton; well there was a group of Scum supporters behind me who were just talking and having a beer, that is until the game started. Wow! The language after that was unbelievable I didn't think you could swear 5 times in a sentence containing 6 words before.

Went to VP with my other brother in law (Collingwood supporter) and sat in the members with him; well the first score of the game was a goal to us I jumped up and cheered, then I realised I was the only one cheering so I sat down pretty quickly. We won that day, the Rocca brothers were both on the pine at one stage and A Jaco kicked a swag which upset the locals no end and I couldn't say a word.

Read any Bomberblitz thread and you'll get a '[censored] this' or a '[censored] that' in every post.

The capitulation Essendon are experiencing really does hurt their smug arrogant supporters.

Baby Bombers pffft.

I would agree too that Windy Hill was the worst ground to visit and could be frightening. The Bombers supporters on the outer thought they were Ron Andrews clones and behaved like him. Saw a lot of fights and unprovoked violence by their supporters.

Well bombers fans are certainly getting sterilised now, playing home games at Docklands.

Like going to the dentist's.

frpm BummerBlitz............sound familiar?

We need to cut 10-12 players and go backwards for a few years. we are now seeing the result of poor recruiting and development for 7 years. Our midfield is the worst in the league. I don't care who ran the recruiting , Dodoro, Keane Sheedy whoever it was they need to go. You cant defend this mediocrity. Our development was just as poor. If you are 22/23 or older on our list you won't play in our next premiership. Long long long way off it

Wow, that was just putrid by the Bombers. Half their side looks overweight to me.

Definitely Moorabin for me. I still hate St Kilda.

    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
