Not very smart are they?

Loved booing their team off the ground. Hope Stringer felt at home being told off for being a [censored]. 

Did they boo there team off? Thought it was for the umps or us. 

 

In previous years we’ve allowed one loss to turn into a slump. We’ve found different ways of winning this year and that’s very important.

At this stage of the season I’ll take 4 points any which way. Thankfully we were surrounded by MFC supporters. Instead of sheep I’ll have to count boos to fall asleep.

Our best tonight are obvious but special mention to Gus and Hunt for working their absolute backside off defensively.

I haven’t been following the footy for long enough( because I immigrated not because I’m young) so haven’t got the deep hatred of certain teams of fans that normal dees supports have developed. But after tonight the Bombers can go and get stuffed( for want of a stronger word). The dirty cheating shower of cheats. Their fans were awful tonight. How about you cheering on your own team instead of booing the opposition for the whole game.

Was the booing really that loud? It's easy to turn the mics up 

It was ridiculous. I was at the ground and they booed far more than they cheered. 

Half time ground announcer: “Bomber fans cheer your team off”

[censored] Essendon fans: “no we must boo the umpires instead”. 
 

A pathetic bunch. 

Essendon supporters are the biggest whingers on the planet .

Feels so good to beat them.

And hate Collingwood too!

Long story, but just trust me..

Bombers fans on Twitter calling for an inquiry into umpiring.

Couldn’t agree more. Let’s begin with the round 10 Crows game shall we?

No WE as in the Melbourne fans, booed them off at the end of the game. 

 

It was always going to be a tough game - coming off the bye against a red-hot Bombers after a poor performance, but the boys got it done.

Agree with what most have said before: we need to work out our forward line: it's what's keeping us from putting the games away earlier.


It was a tough grinding win.Essendon we’re really good. But when are we are going  to play a side that’s having an off day I wonder?

When we play at our best we’re an absolute fuggin juggernaut. 
 

But, we’ve still got a consistency problem to deal with. 

Take the win. Important 4 points.  Messy last quarter. Could not win a clearance. Played well in the 3rd but missed a lot of chances 

Gus played well. Best I have seen him kick the ball for a long time. 

Think we need to bring BBB in and give him a good run at it

Jayden Hunt killed Tippa.

Leaders lifted in the third. 

Viney was quiet but should be better for the run.

Liked Jordon's defensive efforts.

 

 

Haven't checked the records but in my mind Jack has always been a bit slow out of the blocks post-injury. 

And it felt like the least influence that Clarry and Trac have had in a game this year in combination. 

I'm convinced that those boys are our best throuple heading into the pointy end though. Let it flow.

Will take the win, but we are a long way from the side that was 8-0.

Teams are starting to find ways to pick us apart and you just hope we can start managing more than a grinding win leading into September.

Lots of blokes a long way off their best and we keep winning so there is from to improve 

Not being smart but which teams are picking us apart? 

Leaving the crows and pies out of tbe discussion - because in both games our defensive run, all team defence and pressure were miles off - no other team has been able to put scoreboard pressure on us. Not picking us apart at all.

The bombers are one of the form sides atm and one of the most offensive, highest scoring teams in the AFL. And in perfect conditions could only manage 57 points. 

Our Achilles heel is way too many missed shots for goal. 

Agree on blokes being down though. Kozzie was poor tonight as was Fritter. I thought Jackson was average too.

I'll second that motion

Has been awful this year, across the board

Good tough win.

I think that's the reward for being on top - everyone will go harder at you. It's great experience for this team.

Ugly ugly win.

Decision making news to improve big time, like Hunt kicking directly to an Essendon player in the last minute in our forward line, no players being on the goal line etc.

We need to also keep pressure on under performers, so be interesting to see who steps up in the VFL tomorrow.


I’m happy for all the DL-ers who were at the match. ? It’s sooo cold tonight, losing to the drug cheats would have made it such a miserable trek home. ❤️?

Look I’ll never watch the highlight reel. But I’ll remember fondly crushing Essendon’s finals hope and staying top of the ladder. 

 

You what’s effing great? We kept them out of the 8 and we are 8-0 for the top 11 sides played.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
