So we have the Druggies and Norf.

Typical of the Demons luck, the bloke with the face that not even a mother could love has proved last week to be a fluke. At Shitihad stadium he has already had two shots, missed a set shot and the a snap from one meter out hit the post.

But 5 straight against us! Ah well, at least he'll always be the ugliest person in the room

    These commentators are making me much happier about our performance last week. Apparently Essendon's performance was superb against us. Given how close it was, we must have been just a little short of superb.

    There's certainly a few adjectives I could use to describe our performance last week, and superb doesn't fit into the equation. :(

    North aren't even trying tonight and look clear winners. Aghhhhhhh!

    Bombers 0.5.5 and missing everything this week.

    Predictable.

    And they are missing them in perfect conditions as well which makes it even more annoying!

    Yep, that Daniher pulled off that display last week in the conditions we endured.. well, it's the kind of thing that only ever happens to us.

    Wonder if the players have something on their mind? Perhaps the new evidence brief supplied by WADA to the AFL last night?

    Typical, Daniher misses this week. Couldn't miss last week could he.

    Im flicking between the cricket and the storm game. Hope the bummers get flogged.

    Daniher back to his inaccurate best. We have to be the most unlucky club in the AFL.

    No

    You make your own luck.

    We kicked badly anything reasonable and what Daniher did would not matter.

    Heed Gil's words of wisdom in his press conference today. "We need Essendon back being strong and winning games."

    Says it all, really.

    Yep and fits in with the numerous similar things he has said over the last year.

    He is a disaster of the highest order.

    I'm sure Robbo's furiously scouring Jimmy's copy of the brief to find the slightest contradiction.

    Nah he is not that clever. They are others that do that for the chief.

    I'm sure Jimmy sent Robbo a completely objective, unbiased summary of WADA's charges.

    "It's all made up! They're out to get me! It's propaganda! Gil is being a meanie!"

    Daniher now officially on the protected species list at Umpire HQ.

    Disgusting, pathetic, soft, [censored] [censored] free kick. All of one pinky finger on his back and he gets a free kick right in front of goal.

    Meanwhile, forwards run at the ball and get held, pushed, shoved and bent over right in front of goal and the umpires do nothing. They are murdering this game, not the coaches.

    I wish the MFC teams of the last eight years had <once> got stuck in at a half time brawl. We are still soft.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
