If we go in with the same mind set we had against the Pies then the bombers will win this one.

The bombers have their tails up and we suffered a loss to a poor team in our last game.

I hope to god the rest has rejuvenated the Dees. 

It was a very poor win off memory.

The Dons were horribly out of form and we had finals on the line. We cruised to a 34 point lead in the 3rd quarter only to somehow find ourselves only 7 points down in the last quarter, in shortened quarters.

We were not behind at any stage after just into the second quarter. It was never in doubt. Frustrating that they made their comeback though

Hunt kicked 4 goals...

I trust Melbourne enough these days that we won't play two horrible games in a row. Should win this convincingly.

Have they really got their tails up though? Took until the last minute to break Hawthorn yesterday, allowed the Tigers to kick 7 in the last 10 mins against them the week before, bye the week before that. I except us to hit them with the reality bus.

If ever there was a club I'd like Melbourne to make a statement against.. 

How good would our first 10+ win of the year be?

Bombers on media street this week glowing and basking in it, i hope the boys are taking notice and deliver one almighty reality check.

This. Have hated them since the 2000 granny. I've been rapt with the consistent 4 goal wins but I'd love the boys to get some real bloodlust up against this mob.

I hated them with an unholy passion before the 2000 grannie and thought it was impossible to hate them any more than that at the time. But yeah, I somehow managed to beat my PB. The scary thing is my hate of them is seemingly still growing. Where will it end? How much hate can one little person manufacture? Somebody slap me!
