Matters little what standard the comp is, you have to beat Essendon however.

Go Dees.

    Did the Essendon runners have water bottles or IV drips?

    Not enough of either in the end

    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

    We win by 12 and I kick 1.6, and 2 out on the full. I pretty much single handedly got us over the line.... ;)

    Thanks to the guys for organising again!

    Came home like the proverbial freight train! Nice work lads. Do we ever lose these games?

    Good question, have we ever been beaten Rollo ?

    Well done to both teams and organisers. Even better we won.

    It was played in honor of one R.Flower, and we win by 2 (gls). No2 lives on.

    Can I suggest if the forum footy continues, its named the "Tulip Cup."

    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.

    Thanks for the day boys, hopefully we have a proper ground next year, impossible to find space as a forward in such a tiny pitch!

    Carn the dees!

  • Quote

    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!

  • Quote

    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

    Jesus would you buy a used car from that lot?

    Well done boys.

    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!

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • 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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
