Dear Damo,

Your team is [censored]

Your support is [censored]

Your administration is [censored]

Your club is [censored]

Your only saviour is the AFL

Rohan is a bloke I know and he has confided that he giggles when he writes a piece on 'the dees'

The above is from somebody that I used to know.

Be assured I have replied in the strongest possible fashion.

Anyone else battling with the mongrels today?

 

Hopefully you will be able to return the favour if his team is stripped of all their premiership points and their captain is stripped of his Brownlow.

But is he wrong?
 

Growing up in the Essendon area all my life, going to primary school and secondary school, freinds of the family and a fair amount of freinds who barrack for the Bombers, i was expecting my Facebook and SMS to go ballistic...it was dead quiet.

For the first time i had respect for Essendon fans. It wasn't a win for them on Saturday night...it was a implosion of our club and they knew the difference.

I've had 3 Essendon fans coming up to me saying " I feel sorry for you today"..

Never ever thought i would hear that!

Still hate them though :)

Nupp just abject pity from friends and family. The wife was very understanding i relented and had a couple of soothing sherberts sat nightthus ending my no drink regime leading up to the trek.

Shes a Maggie. She humours me.

Others feel the pain. Strangely no one laughs. Its moved waypast that.

Lucky Theres so much more to life than footy. :)


What a sad excuse for a human being he is.

And if Connolly giggles, so what?

He might think we are crap, and he'd be right, but it's a childish response, and I'd be surprised if he said that.

He's written precious few articles on the dees in recent times anyway, and as a bombers supporter himself, I doubt he'd like us much at all.

Amen to that bb

Peptides.

 

It's tough to deal with but personally I would much rather cop it than receive pity from other fans.

Something about it just makes it feel more pathetic.

The filter I use for credible criticism is "are you a member of the club you barrack for"?

When the response is "what does that have to do with it", it makes me use swear words as i dont rate monkey gallery experts.


Peptides.

This one works really well.

Shuts 'em real quick.

Try it.

Those Essendon supporters that took sad joy in our poor performance on Saturday night did so with the knowledge that what's to come for them is far worse and far more frightening than just a poor team playing poorly. They run the risk of not being able to literally field a team. Thier players will run from their club and leave them far worse off than we are now.

They'll look back on Saturday night and remember how far they've fallen, and we'll offer them words of support and kindness, not because we won't want to rub it in, but because we are better quality people with more care for the game.

Lol... good one.

You people need to get better friends.

Not even my Essendon friends stuck the boot in this week. What's the point?

It's not like we are to blame and your friends should know you are hurting.


I've had a number of Essendon supporters come to my desk today at work to have a go about our club. They think they are so funny until I tell them to keep laughing when their players are all suspended for 2 year for drug use, they quickly stop smiling and go away

Ran into a Bomber mate earlier said that they've been there and they will again . New teams,lacking direction and confidence take time .

Just say "I'm Melbourne buddy ,proud of it,it's not your problem so mind your own drug business."

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
