Soft! Over 400km for me to the G and back. I don't miss a match! (on the TV)  I still pay my membership donation every year.

Soft, indeed! I drive from Adelaide (from the southern coast 40 kms southwest of the city) to Melbourne for many games during the season, a round-trip of about 22 hours, at least, with the handbrake providing particular instructions on the route, the speed, the distances to go, the meal breaks, the traffic flow and the price of fuel - every five minutes for the entire journey. . How's that for being an avid Dees fan?

    Definite signs of insanity. Must be a long trip home some weeks!

    Sounds like a disappointing effort from Hunt.

    Must say I have never seen him play well at VFL level. Always thought it was the lack of pace in the game gave him no room.

    He's  quick. That's about it.

    It's either half back or bust for me.

    I don't rate him Dazzle, poor disposal, poor decision maker and whilst he has speed he makes decisions the same way., without considering all options 

    IMO he's depth

    Yep, agree with what you just said. He's lost his mojo and needs to get it back asap.

    Last time we played a VFL side against the Bombers was round 2 in 2013 and we got spanked by 148 points. 

    We’re improving.

    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 

    (First time i have written that n 2020)

    It's a good question. The conclusion I have come to is that Burgess or Goodwin wanted every uninjured player on the list to have some real match play this weekend so they are all doing same type and level of work.

    Thanks (not) for that reminder Steve. I was there that day and had finally ( through alcohol therapy) repressed the memory.

    I presume the squad for this game will be released tonight?

    Isn’t it the Collingwood  team that gets day release to allow them to play?

    Wasn’t that the year that the Bummers were on “the good stuff” from Dank?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
