It's a big day for the sport today with Essendon taking the field for the first time since the issue of the SHOW-CAUSE notices on top of last night's results which mean that the Bombers will be in the top eight at the end of the round if they win.

I imagine that there are many Bomber fans not happy with the course of the latest events re the ASADA investigation and it might be good policy for supporters to treat them with caution and respect.

After all, if we lose today, our players are likely to be served with SNOW-CAUSE notices and you know how we would react to that sort of a ribbing. :)

 

Bombers will come out firing, but can they keep their mind on the job for 4 quarters

Good advice, if we are winning may refrain from yelling

"your no good off the juice, you dirty cheats"

As tempting as it is, self safety must come first.

I think they will come out firing but be mentally weak. If we can get on top their wheels may fall off. Last years 145 point loss is still very painful to me so I am really hoping we smash them.
 

The Essendon supporters that I know can be downright scary at the best of times - as well as arrogant , delusional and smug.

I really hope we smash them today - I won't be there as I am in beautiful Daylesford.

Those going - be careful. I have been verbally and almost physically abused at Richmond station a few years ago by disgruntled, angry, possibly brain dead opposition supporters. I was standing on my own, minding my own business but my only sin(in their eyes) was my Melbourne scarf and the fact we had beaten them.

I have never caught the train since to the footy.

Go Dees

Gee that's sad Jane. I hate it when the actions of selfish [censored] cause people to change what they happily and lawfully are entitled to do.

Very winnable game, work has me in Melbourne for a couple of weeks so I'm able to attend the pies/bombers/North games.

My mate who is a pies supporter says that nearly every game is a blockbuster of sorts for his team because teams prime themselves for a big one when playing them. Clubs like us, the dogs, North and the saints do this because it's likely to the biggest crowd they will play in front off if we fail to make the finals. I like what Roos has done with changing the players mindset so that the players believe that every game is a winnable game. In years gone by interstate games were lost before boarding the plane, clubs celebrating someone's milestone or a club playing after a coaches sacking or the passing of a club great were a danger game (I know.....ten years of hell every game was a danger game). As we strive to become a dominant club we must accept that every club is a danger game but also a winnable one, not sit back at the start of the year and earmark certain games as winnable and the rest as automatic losses. Had we been playing like we are now from the start of the year we may well have another 2-3 wins. Yes the bombers will come out fighting but we shouldn't be viewing this any differently to any other game. Stick to our process, stick to our structures and do what we have trained to do. I think clubs that do this will be better served in the long run then clubs that come out full of hot air for the 1st qtr and a bit.

Yes it is sad because it's always been the easiest way for me to get to the footy. Nowdays I drive or catch a lift with someone else. It was on Queens Birthday - the last time we beat Collingwood. They were total morons and to be honest I am tall, fit and have practiced martial art and participated in numerous self defence courses. But who knows if they had a knife ... Complete cowards but it did frighten the hell out of me.

You just cannot predict what is going through opposition supporters heads. I don't trust any of them.
 

Smash them early Demons.

We simply must START the game on the front foot.

Dictate what the cheats can do...hopefully cough up the ball.

I've been to literally about 500 games and I don't recall ever seeing a woman get verbally/physically indimidated

Don't let that one bad experience taint your experience forever, odds are very much in your favour of it never happening again!


Well for the 1st time in ages actually since they trounced us last year im missing my first melbourne game at the G. But geez I hope we shut them out early because if they start well there fans will be loud and give them a lift.

I just hope we win. Dont care by how much but we have to be move up that ladder. It would be great to jump richmond and the dogs.

If we win by about 80 points we'll jump Carlton also and be 12th :D

Really excited for today's game. A big chance to jump up the ladder to 13th or a loss will see us drop down behind GWS to 16th, not huge in the context of things but a win like this just gets the club a bit of reward for effort to go to 13th on the ladder n jump up above the doggies & Richmond!!! C'mon dees

Wasn't Nathan Jones's father beaten up by the magpie thugs after a draw with us some years ago ?

Daniel Cross on Dyson Heppell

Jordie McKenzie on Stanton

Jack Grimes on Brendan Goddard

Then they can worry about trying to stop Jonesy, Tyson, Viney ,Vince, Watts etc etc

According to SEN Fletcher is out today

He is still waiting for his infraction notice via telegram. He has had this portable phone thingy beeping off its head the last couple of days but he can't figure it out.

Jack Grimes on Brendan Goddard

Goddard has him well covered in athleticism and class IMO


Vince to Goddard I reckon

After a QB game, yes. Don't remember which one. Nathan's younger brother was with his father at the time too.

There was quite a bit on Dland at the time it went to court. If you search a bit you'll their pics. I reckon the two dimwits shared an (small) IQ.

It wasn't QB. It was April 2009, and right in front of us!

  • 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.
