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

Featured Replies

Sorry forgot to put this in training thread, spoke to Kent, his heel was feeling fine, have to see how it is after training, then maybe a run with Casey if it is ok, same as what Misson said, he was limping on Sunday at Family Day so has made a quick recovery, did nearly whole sessiion

That's good news. Shame he isn't in the squad v Essendon but he still gets a chance to impress at Casey this week or next and I'm sure they get more flexibility at Casey with playing time than v Ess now it's down to 4 plus 2 subs on the bench.

And he will at least get to prove himself against a real team.

Let's remember that the Bombers are our bunnies even when they're at full strength.

2014 gained some ground by the 140-point loss in 2013 negates anything achieved in the 2011 and 2012 wins against the Bombers.

Just a couple of things... you have used the US spelling of criticise and usually the last item in a list should end with a full stop.

Yes OD... I'm home with a cold. Nice of you to notice ;)

Actually the "Administrators" should give a three month suspension to anybody using American (English US) spelling in Demonland posts. Punctuation should attract a seven day suspension.

actually, is the word actually actually necessary in this context, or actually redundant?

worst possible preparation for round 1.

why the [censored] should our club suffer for the mistakes of theirs?

what a disgrace they are.

who cares let Essendon worry bout it, 2 out of 3 aint bad

I am probably going to be taking our Japanese exchange student for his only taste of footy while he is here. Not a great drawcard, but beating Essendon will help!

They'll eat nearly anything i'm told.

If you go back far enough hardtack the 'ze' has germanic/latin origins. The English imported the 'ze' to America. If it wasn't for the Norman Conquest, the English would still be using 'ze' but instead the French introduced their 'se' and things got complicated. My rule is simple, 'ze' unless the word has French origins, such as surprise.

Go Deeze!

Whats going on with Fitzpatrick, out of favour?

Was he ever in favour??

Reasonable but limited skills are now seeing him out, Now that we have depth!

The surprise for me is how several who are less skilled still get named!

I think you know the two or three whom I talk about!

Actually, no... :)

Just as well, given the garbage that is usually on sale. It is also probably a good thing that he knows nothing about the game ...

Except vegemite.

It took me a long time to zee what you mean, but thank you for zetting me straight. There are few things to change in my houze, not to mention my horzes and cheezes. Does that mean that a French zebra is a sebra?

 

Not to be on the negative bandwagon, but this is such a frustrating game for our club. The risk/reward scenario is so heavily favoured in risk for me; playing against players that view it as a last opportunity to put themselves out there, the possibility of injury (although always there whether it be game or training), and of course the potential embarrassment of losing to a team half made up of top ups.

I'm glad we're approaching this like round one, I want us to come out of the blokes and be up by 5 goals at quarter time and unlike last week I want us to go on with it. I want the team to view this as a statement to the competition, we are a new Melbourne.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
