Featured Replies

Posted

Supremely confident today. We play this game on our terms, they can chase us. We are are far superior side and it will show.

 

Oliver BOG, Dee's by 10 goals.

 

Not feeling too good about this one especially after we fell asleep for half an hour last week, just like Round 1.

I wont tip us until I have reason to, and so far there is none.

North by 17, sadly.

God I hope we win this one, need to keep building momentum early in the season, confidence etc and fk off this losing streak. 

North are taking me along to the Dees Chairman’s function so hoping for a cracking day with a easy Dees win.

Who’d you tip last night, out of interest? 

As always I’ll head in hoping for the best expecting the worst (usual).

I just want to face the long commute home after beating North for once. 

C’mon Dees!

There’s an old Jewish saying I think applies here: ‘things are never as good as you hoped...nor as bad as you feared’.

I'm with you. Baring a huge brain fart it should be a good win.

Perhaps 'barring' ?

 

Just off to sleep with the alarm set so I can watch it. 

Dees by 6 goals

Perhaps just once on this forum some [censored] won't get the giggles over a typo. Perhaps.


Trac BOG.

Mathew Nicholls to remain as popular as ever with the Melbourne faithful.

Just win Dees!

First game of the season for me after being away for the first round.  So excited and really hope we smash this mob.

 

Slightly conflicted.

Daughter has a 'rock climbing' party to attend at 3:30. Right next to the rock climbing centre is a brewery with a great tap room and also a great outdoor area for kids. Wife suggests she takes daughter to party and I can spend some 'quality' time with the boy at the brewery. I'd need to record the game and enforce a complete media blackout until home...and that would also mean talking to the boy, who I love dearly, but conversations at the moment are solely about cars (Mustangs and Bugattis) and beyblades (whatever the [censored] those are).

Or, stay at home and swear at the TV in real time.

Yeah, nah. Under Neeld they were worse than I feared so that [censored] that saying up big time ?


We won’t win if any of the following occur:

1) Brown kicks at least 4

2) We concede a 3 + goal start at qtr time

3) Jacobs holds Oliver to under 20 touches

4) If both Cunnington and Higgins are in the best 5 on the ground.

I’m tipping us to win though. Not many sides win when their $3 or over to win.

Just get the wife to take your daughter to her party, and you can spend "quality time" with your son watching the game live on TV together.

You know it makes sense.

Im spending time with my daughter at the MCG (quality of said time TBA, will let you know at 5pm.) 

They put beer on tap because of what Dees supporters have had to endure.  Where I sit I cannot ‘creatively vent’ my thoughts (perhaps it is regarded as antisocial behaviour, but Ben brown really is a [censored]).  So I will either be up cheering spilling my beer over the old [censored] in the flat hat, or murmuring dark curses into my beer as I sulk.

please, Dees.  That poor bastard in the flat cap needs a beer shower.

Which Demonland regular will be the first one to melt down and make a fool of themselves if North kick a couple of goals early in the game, or hang around for a half? 


Regulation win required.... 36 points

Interesting to see how Goodwin coaches....... all the other teams can beat North so no excuse for a loss

No doubt Mr white will time his verbal diarrhea to perfection

I'm drinking a huge mug of coffee...will switch it to scotch if we drop this one.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
