Did the Essendon runners have water bottles or IV drips?

We win!

Cheers to all

Thanks to organisers

Clearly with a settled coaching set up and without recourse to any....supplemental ingredients other than guts and determination we prevailed

Good question, have we ever been beaten Rollo ?

Never in doubt and well done to all concerned.

Cheers, gsmith... :wub:

! think we have now won 13 out of 14...

We lost to sainsational about 6 years ago when we turned up with 11 players...

that's when we decided to get organised...

bomberblitz have copied our methods, so I expect their first win against us can't be far away...

Ugly, congested game on a small oval with no goal posts.

Credit to ucanchoose for dealing with each problem as it arose in his first game as organiser.

I am so happy he stepped up because it was way past time for me to pass the baton.

Credit to dinosaur rover for his inclusive coaching style, which had our blokes playing as a team by the last quarter.

The move of Leeroy and his mate to full forward in the last quarter was a match-winning move

IMO.

Credit to dazzledavey36 for his best on ground performance. It was a close call because we had so many other guys who could have won it.

Credit to our mid-field who gradually wore the talented bomberblitz guys down.

Steve the ruckman and the other guys pumped the ball into our forward line so many times in the last quarter, it would have been impossible to lose.

Credit to Wise, who played another great captain's game and is now our most-capped player (along with the Stynes Factor).

Credit to bomberblitz, who keep coming back at us, and have moved in a few short years from easybeats to respected opponents.

Happy to hear other people's views on the game.

Well done dees on another win

Pretty glad it was a competitive game this time

Steve the ruckman was best on for you guys imo although the dazzle was very good too.... when Leeroy absolutely smashed me in the middle wasn't exactly pleasant lol

Can't wait for the next one!

Very competitive game, and I still think the move to a smaller ground was deliberate as it threw us out a bit and fell straight I to their hands.

I think every player had a good highlight (or lowlight in bennys instance with 9 shots at goal for 12 points). Always good to see varying levels of footy experience "gel" so well.

Can't wait o next time.

Moving the ground came straight from the Olympic park curators mate..... Threatened us with paying for any damage caused to the turf

Great game and well done to everyone playing. Well done to the Bomber boys who continue to want to have a match every year. Keeps it alive and well.

Its starting to become a fiece rivalry now between the two teams.

Its gonna take me another two months to rehab this knee again. My left one is absolutely shot now.....

Now I know why the old fells complain and whinge lol

If anyone can Remember (or have them written) all the scores and opposition we have played (and locations) wouldn't mind seeing the evolution of the team and Compitition, plus I can't for life of me remember which I have been involved with over the 7-8 years. (2 vic park, 2 Olympic? 2 goschs and todays 5c piece)

A overview would be really great after this has begun to thrive.

That ground really was by far the smallest I have ever played on. Talk about stoppages and congestion wowee!

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
