GAMEDAY - ROUND 2

Featured Replies

As disgusting and horrible as last week was, if we can somehow win tonight then i will forget round 1 completely and i bet the MFC does too and marches forward.

Lets face it, last week was only one match. Yes we have been crap for a long time Yes it was atrocious, degrading, embarassing. Almost soul destroying.

But the bottom line is that we can beat the Bomnbers and if we do it will be happy days again.

GO DEMONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

. . . I'll run naked down my street.

. . . I'll run naked down my street.

Can you name the Street so we can have a media contingent there? (just in case)

'Chook runs naked down the High Street - blames his Demons'

If we win tonight I'll be happy but pi55ed at the same time. I'm sick of us having our backs against the wall and the media on us all week to stand up. Can't we just put in week in week out?

NO you'll wake up in a sweat

Essendon by 43 points

The first 5 minutes will tell us a story, 'cfh'. As it often does. If we come out of the blocks, we've got a chance of making a game of it. Even if all that happened, the last quarter could also tell a tale. Fresh legs could win out if the extra weeks rest is a factor.

We've got an obligation to start well with a fierce attack on the ball. After last Sunday, anything less than that will be unacceptable. I'm reasonably confident we'll have a go early. We can't not turn up again.

The same street? That could be a bit weird.

Win or lose, I'll be getting drunk.

I'm going to be at a 50th, taping it to watch it at home. If we win I'll be stoked, but I just want desperate desire to chase and tackle and get the bloody ball.

But I want it every week, and I'll be happy once we achieve that, everything else is covering the cracks.

Time to shut up and act.

I'm sure the boys will have a crack but it seems to take a smashing and then a week of criticism for them to show a heartbeat. I just wish they could rock up to the ground, clock on and mean business every week. I think we will start strong and break even in the first quarter with a more skilled team and then fade away to lose by 5 goals.


watch for 10 minutes of hard at it, contested football and then a fade away into mediocrity..........this is the Melbourne i have seen soo many times.

a) will not happen

b) if it does they will turn back to terrds next week as they always do

demon16 has it pegged - token, thinly veiled facade of a 1st qtr, then back to normal

Davey is the sub


7-1 at the line.

Worth a fifty.

See you at the Flower Drum for Supper.

This one's safe.

Relax, we've got this.....

Relax, we've got this.....

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..

Quick someone knock on wood with crossed fingers while throwing salt over their shoulder and neutering a black cat...

If you have fifty on the Dees you will be washing the dishes at the Flower Drum.

On the train heading to the G to sit with Bomber mate of 40 years .

We go every year (since 1975). There have been a few occasions of joy not many .

Darren Bennett made my afternoon once, so did G Lyon, in 1991 i remember a young Ox shooting for a late goal at Windy Hill that would have pinched it for us and I have enjoyed the last 3 times!

But I had butterflies last Saturday and tonight I feel nothing. Just looking fwd to seeing my mate.

Dees just go out there and have a red hot go but do it for 4 qtrs!!!


Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..

Quick someone neuter a black cat...

I didn't know that was a thing.

Us five in the car in swan st, can't believe I'm rolling up for another serve! Go Dees!

Clearly a sucker for punishment I am. So many better things to do tonight, yet here we are, heading to the footy.

This better be a vast improvement. I don't expect a win but FFS, some competitive spirit would be lovely.

 

I didn't know that was a thing.

Not leaving anything to chance

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
