Like many others, I hate the Bombers with an intensity that is disturbing. There must be a stronger word than hate. 

Send then to Manus Island and throw away the key.

Luvd it!

I just popped into Bomberblitz for a laugh.  Now I feel dirty.  Not enough hand sanitizer for that.  All about the umpires and how bad we are.  Ha ha!  Suck a sav you loser booing clucks.

We are not playing well. We can’t keep winning like this.. 

System, baby. We'll keep winning with this system. We strangle sides and absorb pressure like a top team, even when we're not playing well. Sign of a very good team. We're still the best team in the comp. Essendon were playing for a finals spot and they couldn't have played any better and we still beat them.

Essendon played slow footy and pushed players back because they knew in an open contest we would destroy them. Mediocre teams will do that against us because they can’t beat us another way. But good teams won’t play this defensive garbage. The games against Richmond Dogs and Brisbane were just good contested one on one footy. And we won them all.

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. 

That Bronx cheer they did in the second or third quarter when they got a free kick as if the count was heavily lopsided was embarrassing for them I thought.  

On another note I need to be back at the G. Watching an MCG game on tv doesn't sit right for me personally :)

Great to beat the bombers. Suck it up you druggies

Typical Melbourne win. Defence to the fore.

May superb and BOG. Lever rock solid. Salem back on form. One of Hunts best games.

Trac stood up when we needed him to and kicked those crucial goals

Play of the game. Double 50 leading to jordons goal. Thanks umps.

Forward set-up not working. We’re not getting full value for our dominance. Goal kicking, our perennial problem, will cost us.  If we are to end our wait for a flag we have to get BB fit and firing somehow.

Looking forward to a Saturday afternoon game at the G next weekend

Go Dees

Also the VFL game tomorrow become extremely important. If BB can nab 3 or 4 + he would be a lock for the remainder of the season l would say. We all should watch tomorrow’s telecast to cheer him on.

I will confess I have not seen a 2nd of this game. I was at home but to scared to watch so I checked the scores and very happy with the win. 

I have recorded it so I'm thinking may just watch the 2nd half. 

But at some stage we will have to put a team to the sword.

2 games clear on top, no injuries good night.

But happy we beat the bummers & wrecked there supporters night

Watch it without the sound as all you can hear is praise for Essendon from the commentators and a constant boo from the [censored] Essendon supporters

Jake Lever absolutely outstanding but our forward line is a worry

Our delivery into the forward 50 was atrocious in the first half. The worst I can recall. It improved in the third, but we couldn't nail our shots.

McDonald, Fritsch and Kozzy were very ordinary though. But had Fritsch and McDonald nailed those shots in the third, this is probably a different conversation.

Here you go,  Parret (Parish/Merret) have 80 odd possessions,  - we don't give an eff...

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. 

It makes the games very hard to watch

SAME! I hate them so much it scares me. They bring out a very dark, menacing side of me the likes of which I never knew I possessed.

Correct. 16 behinds is a disgraceful effort. Forwards who cannot consistently nail goals. Bad kicking is bad football. 

I really like Devon Smith.

No wait sorry, it’s Devon Scones I like. Always get them confused.

I thought Nate Jones didn't do a lot wrong in his 302nd game...

Devon shire-tea is ok too.

”stop yelling at me Devon!” Best line of the night.

richo is a special type of tool.

Seeing on social media all the essenscum fans complaining about the umps & saying we shouldn't be happy with that win & getting snappy.

Well I don't care. We got the 4 points & hopefully shut down your chances of making finals

On the Umpires, the trend was set on Thursday night with the actual paying of free kicks where and when they deserve paying.
This was carried on for the round so far. Consistency for the rest of the season might have a positive effect if adhered to for the rest of the year.

Yeah I heard that, pay a free kick against him then you friggin gutless maggot.

We need BB in ASAP

Keep him in the side for a month

Let him settle 

BB is the next shift for us. Fritta struggled, again, in a lead role. Without BB, he is stifled by a decent defender each week. TMac has a role already and is achieving most of the things we need of him but Fritta, he is not having the clear run that he deserves. BB will assist in that regard, drawing the better defenders, enabling the Fritt to roam about for marks and subsequent shots. Petty could be a part-time solution up forward, as well - and he can kick 'em. 

 

The most important win for the year. We are not playing brilliantly and I honestly thought we were there for the taking tonight. 
May and Lever saved us.

Good teams win when not at their best and our forward efficiency was very poor tonight. 
 

I for one am very happy with tonight
