Melbourne v Essendon @ Etihad Stadium - 20th March, 2015

[S.R.J 418]

That viney kick summed it all up im not even going to try defend us with the pre season defence

well where to now melbourne?

Relocate to Tasmania, Get a crap load of top draft picks, Get given 20 Mill a Season by the AFL. Bring on the Premiership Years.

[Toorak 108]

Apart from Our appalling decision making and numerous fumbles. I think they played OK.

[censored] you melbourne not renewing my membership what a joke of a club

[whatwhat say what 22,682]

it was pretty atrocious.

but it was also only a nab challenge game.

no injuries was the most important thing.

i tipped us to come 18th, and to lose tonight, so quite frankly i'm not remotely surprised.

[Deemachine 58]

Well, at least this saves me a 6 hour round trip to Melbourne on Easter Saturday.

[ding 5,126]

Perfect thing for us. A huge wake up call before the season has begun. Roos will go bananas and it will give the team a huge reality check.

Yeah thats rubbish. Struggling to beat a Bulldogs reserves side last week was the wake up. This is the days first coffee.

[Deez 298]

fark. makes me so angry. I wonder if we will ever get out of this rutt

[ding 5,126]

Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

So I choose drink.

You are another who owes me an apology Nash.

[DemonOX 8,781]

Do u hear that sound ?

Try really hard.

There it is "flush" there goes our season again and my membership money.

doubt it...no one tipped us to lose tonight...

[Dommygun12 79]

how is it even remotely possible to continue to be this bad for so long has any other team had a rutt as big as this?

[Kiss of Death 747]

My heart says 3rd NAB game, play dees against bombers, and bring in the questionable frees in the last quarter to give the druggies a win and sell some newspapers... But my head says different. Well, time for the long wait for a train, it's always 15 minutes minimum when we play at Etihad.

Today it's 13 minutes... ITS A WIN

Mate as crap as we are. We need to shed the losers mentality. You should be [censored] that we lost. We should go into most games hoping to get the win.

You are another who owes me an apology Nash.

What for? The first half wasn't that bad.

[whatwhat say what 22,682]

i did.

i told numerous people at work - including an essendon board member - that they would win tonight.

that's how much faith i have in the demons' ability to perform below expectations.

[jackaub 1,402]

Why not just wait for round one to see how we go??

[SaberFang 7,151]

You really do just have to wonder if there is some kind of intangible brokenness to this team that cannot be repaired.

[praha 11,232]

Essendon is no Melbourne. VFL side or not, they'll turn up. Different club down there at Melbourne Airport.

If fortunes were reverse Melbourne would be guaranteed to lose by 150. Essendon, I'm not so sure. They're too proud.

I expect a close one tbh.

i was phoned on Monday re re-signing: could not do it at the time. Couldn't watch or listen today but certainly not in any hurry now. Edited March 20, 2015 by monoccular

Dum dumdee dum

[Whispering_Jack 29,769]

Cringeworthy, that's all.

[dees189227 12,369]

thankgod I didnt bother going. cricket more interesting. Cannot believe we lost. The etihad curse has struck again and the worst thing is we go into r1 wihtout our key man in dawes. So Hogan will have to play. How come no one could catch Dalgleish when he was allowed to run the length of the field for that goal.

[DemonOX 8,781]

Perfect thing for us. A huge wake up call before the season has begun. Roos will go bananas and it will give the team a huge reality check.

From where we r coming from Wise we shouldn't need a "reality" check.

I just want the players to stop talking and start DOING ffs. I have had a gutful of bloody talk.

GC will cane us big time.

Well go and don't let the door hit you on the way out, you and others like you are not true supporters!!

[ding 5,126]

Yeah sure Nash, no worries. We were much better in the first.

Some cant see the forest for the trees.
