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. 

 
 

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.

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 Devonshire Scones I like. Always get them confused.

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
