Essendon has a better chance of playing finals than Melbourne


Bring-Back-Powell

Recommended Posts

Was listening to the Run Home on SEN last night and Jon Ralph and the boys were talking about the possible make up of the final 8 this year.

Ralph mentioned 3 teams that simply will not play finals this year - Carlton, Brisbane, and Melbourne. He then went on to mention that while he gives the Dons a slight chance, he said they'll probably miss out in the end.

So basically he rates us lower than a side that will be missing 10 of their best 22 all season. 

Please prove him wrong, Dees!

Ah, old serious looking, squinty, cross-eyed Ralphy.  The same turnip who questioned Melbourne's decision to  trade a 20-something pick for Frost at the expense of drafting young talent without realising the trade also netted Alex Neal-Bullen and Oscar McDonald.

In the end we got 3 players for that 20-something pick.

Given the way we attract humiliation like a rotting carcass attracts blowflies it is not on beyond the realms of possiblity.  Though last season was a reasonable effort for the past decade we had more than our fair share of disgraceful performances.  I hope it is not the case this coming season but will not be surprised if we make Essendon look better than us given our track record.

Sad but true. If ever a team can [censored] up an apparent certainty - we can!

What I would like to know is why have the umpires been paid off so early this year that would give our worthy sycophants their fervour.

Just a touch on reality though there will be some interesting decisions this year in a few very uninteresting games

Without doubt Ralph has said one of the most bafonic things in recent memory. On top of losing 10 (??) of their best 22 they have also traded out Melksham/Carlisle/Ryder over the past two seasons. They are a team of kids and retirees.

Snatching defeat from the very jaws of victory : has been too often true. 

Hopefully that will be dispatched to the vaults of history, to keep the integrity of the game, and trust and honesty company.

Hahahahahahahahahah :P alot would have to go right for us to make the 8 i think, but to suggest we aren't in with less of a chance then Essendon reflects an unhealthy level of delusion.

Essendon will win the spoon.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
