I'm sailing on the river of dreams, somewhere between Nirvana & Ecstacy, anticipating a great Dees victory!

 

Well I did all my literal sailing weeks ago, and I'm too uncreative to come up with figurative sailing metaphors, so I'm on solid ground and very excited for this game. I can't remember the last time we were so overwhelmingly stronger than the opposition, this is a great opportunity to really add confidence and really get some momentum going. Can't wait!


I'm sailing the Yarra River,shall disembark at Fed Square for a chuckle at the Essendon wankfest then I shall proceed to the G to watch the Dees broadside the cheats.

I'm in San Francisco and will be heading to bed happy tonight after we smash Essundone.  No chance we lose this. 

I'm pacing around the "G" waiting for the gates to open in two hours.

 

Just as Sailing Demon arrives back on terra firma. Melbourne shortest priced odds for the round. Bizzaro world.

i'm sailing the sea of terror of losing.

 

7.13.55 to 10.3.63 with daniher booting 5 straight, including 3 from outside 50. i can just see it happening and it scares the bejesus out of me.


I hope we get the first goal in the game. Forget about winning two in a row, when was the last time we did that?

Agree,

he is such a spider that bloke,but hopefully they have learnt from last year and can interrupt his run.

Tell me you aren't serious.

You that bloke over there with 7 0r 8  smokes in your mouth?

I would like to see Tom Mc (legally) push Daniher around a bit in the first 10 minutes. 

Firstly, for having the temerity to kick so well in the last game and secondly to show him who is boss for the next 10 years!

And a little help from Tom's friends to accidently bump into him a few times early on, won't go astray! 

That is what the Hawks do - take no prisoners.

Edit:   Hope it rains on their silly 'parade'.

Just give them a belting, Dees.  No mucking around.  No allowing them the first clearance and a frustrating first goal to a nobody like Orazio Fantasia.  

Just get in there, push them around and belt the living suitcase out of them so we can go 2-0 and go in with confidence against those soft Shinboners in Round 3.

Dees by 55.

Really excited for today! should be another positive day for the club

I'm staying in the country area today, going to clean the house and fix a fence to occupy my mind until the bounce. Nervous.

Well, you know they're going to try the same thing with Hogan. But probably not "legally".

And Watts. And Brayshaw, Oliver, Harmes.

The leopard doesn't change its spots. Worsfold was a thug of old and it's their only chance of getting over us.

Give 'em a taste of their own medicine. (And then bury them.)

Big day for our footy club - as much as Essendon will make this all about them and their past / future we need to take the next big step in our own rebuild and win 2 games in a row AND win well against a depleted opposition with all of our players contributing evenly with a stack of goals and highlights so I can watch the replay 4 times in the next week like I did with the Rd 1 win. Go Dees.

I wasn't nervous about this game until I read this thread.

Just start the game already!

 

I will feel more nervous come game time. In the past melbourne havent been able to cope being the favourites. Today we are. I feared last year Daniher would finally kick straight and he did. But I feel this year we are a different team and obviously we are with the new players. 

It would just be a massive disaster if we drop todays game after our good win last week. Plus could you just imagine the hysteria amongst the essenscum fans. They would be feeling confident today that they have a chance. 

If the right melbourne shows up we should be sitting pretty at 3/4 time and enjoy the last quarter. We need to thrash them today.

If we gift them the win by 8 points, I blame you.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
