Only in Demonland do I trust . . . and only then with a negroni in one hand and a plastic device of one sort or another in the other.

    Whenever I come across an Essendon fan I always excuse them. It just seems like the compassionate thing to do.

    because they are an excuse of a team

    The club went with the narrative eventually, as it was a legit excuse, but we

    a - didn't want to use it as an excuse in the beginning and

    b - aren't the Bombers, who after the drugs scandal get plenty of love from the media to make up for it.

    I just see them as a team we should dispatch of easily and move on from in 2020.

    Just disappointed we don't meet them twice. Would really like to scar them, (hope I'm not getting too far ahead of ourselves).

    Spare me the violins. The season hasn't even started and the campaign is underway to portray the bombers as underdogs. I suppose we will also get the James Hird deserves another chance at coaching narrative at some stage during the year as well. 

    So sick of hearing the same thing about this team, how we should all feel sympathy for them. Please.

    My hatred of this arrogant club and their supporters cannot be understated.

    When we lost to the Peptides, an Essendon mate of mine was raving about how Essendon had won the draft because Parish was clearly a better pick than Oliver. So, at least we got one back.

    But us losing to the Peptides was rolled gold Demonesque.

    Is that why so many sports journalists are barely literate?

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
