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?

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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."

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form
