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!

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
