Good day for the club. 

Players who are being rotated still get a run against some AFL standard players and it looks like our guys got through unscathed. 

Great result. 

did druggies get any lti's?......just wishing

Mrs W and I are booked into the Miami Hotel in Nth Melb for that Friday. Easy walk down to Arden St and back. Although coming back we will have to stop in at the Three Crowns Hotel for a burger and a couple of beers.

 

5 Star Hotel with Limousine transport to the gate?

Style indeed

Relax mate. AFL side vs a VFL side. They should've won by more.

[Pulp Fritschon 739]

I hope the Bombers clean up after themselves when they leave today. Be careful anyone heading to Casey tomorrow. Maybe don't wear thongs just in case.

This is similar to one of my favorite sledges to annoying and vocal opposition fans at games where we are getting beaten: 

'Your team is rubbish - a half decent team would have beaten us by twice as much'

Fake News with no mention that it was basically our VFL side.

Thanks for that. I just rescued the season's ticket as it was starting to melt.

No doubt the comments will be coming, especially after Pert released our bold plan during the week.  The nuffs will be out in force.

"Honestly recon lav could be our version of degoey if he gets an absolute clean run at it.

Would love for this to be the year of parish mcgrath lang and lav"

The drug head supporters read a lot into this game. Just took the above quote from Bomberblitz. 

(This guy  also won the  spelling bee)

FMD!!!

The comments are there all taking the piss out of us.

I left 1/2 way through the last. What a mismatch.

I thought Jordan and Bedford were our best Dee players at least until 1/2 time. I don't even know what number Rivers is?

Hunt, Baker and Wagner going through the paces which is as kind as you can get. Hore was reasonable today as well. Bradke played a reasonable game as well.

Saw the same problems as last year. Poor kicking to position and too many handballs off target. It is a practice match so I won't be throwing my ham at the fridge. 

On a positive note Essendon supporters are as ugly as Richmond. 

The ganggangs were making plenty of noise in the last quarter.

Hardly a surprise when there were barely any MFC players in the game,and of the ones that were, at least half have no AFL experience. Save your ham for tomorrow if it happens then.

The article was clearly written by @poita.

Any Essendrug  Teeth ? left in the Turf

What was the point of that game if they turn up with 2 sides?

Yes it is a Hit out, but playing young fatigued players against a fresh side after Half Time is a risky card to play. 
 

i Hate Essendrug

Yeah he played okay. None of our players looked likely just yet for AFL.

Other than the players who have played a senior game, Bedford looked the closest from today, but still only 1-2 games this year. 

[Willmoy1947 4,089]

Any idea of how many players being used against Adelaide tomorrow?

[Deecisive 1,709]

[PaulRB 6,363]

Dons came away with one injury - Patrick Ambrose - Essendon cop another injury in win over Demons 'reserves'
