I found it amusing that after 5 years and into the third quarter they started booing Hibberd. Got a laugh out of that one.

The absolute highlight for me was the double 50 metre penalty!

Not because of the penalty itself, nor the fact that it gifted us an important goal. No! It was because I was picturing the absolute apoplectic rage of the Essendon supporters and wishing I was there to see it live.

I didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or wet myself while dribbling Shiraz out of my nose.

And to think people say you shouldn't bask in the misfortune of others!

Not surprised BBO that  you appreciated  the mass self flagellation spectacle of the druggie fans.

When the second 50 was given, I knew it was because of Smith mouthing off. I screamed out " Tell him what you think Devon !! "

The bombers fans around me were ropable!! So funny !!


Lowlight of the game was some [censored] stealing a top from the Demon Shop at half time. I went down to get the number 5 put on my son's guernsey and the staff realised someone had bolted out and stolen a sweater or hoodie or something. I mean seriously, if you barrack for the club why would you pinch something from their own store???

the highlight is definitely finding my new home of all football content on the internet.

My Panthers were also stunned, how were yours?

Reading this is like listening to a Collingwood supporter who's being drinking for a solid 6 hours

They were booing him from the start of the match. 
Imagine being that deluded that you think players you injected with drugs and took away an entire year of their career had no right to leave?! 
You clap that wife cheating gambler Stringer but boo Hibberd. All [censored] class Essendon.

That’s there supporter base in a nutshell.

They grew up in the 80’s and 90’s thinking footy was winning a flag every second year and always being near the top. They are the epitome of entitled.

And now their delusional relationship with cult figures from that era has put that club back 20 years. Most of them still think they should get Sheeds and Hirdy back and it’ll be just like 1993 again.

They embarrassed themselves last night and, even worse, their incessant booing and appealing for frees clearly influenced their team.  Even the players were waving their hands around for ridiculous, non-existent free kicks in the last quarter, instead of focusing on the next contest.

Was Petracca turning around and waving to the feral Essendon [censored] in the crowd, who no doubt had been giving Christian some goal kicking advice. And THEN, when he kicks the goal, and gives him a great big smile and a wave, the Essendon [censored] appealing to the umpires saying words to the effect of "Can he do that?"

 

I swear that Essendon supporter wanted a free kick. Just poety.

Yeah, that was priceless. And the fact that it’s garnering a fair bit of attention speaks to the culture of our club, IMO. I mean, how many players from oppo clubs, in Tracc’s position of having just kicked a goal, engage with the crowd in aggressive, belligerent ways? Tonnes of them, right? But our players are generally classier than that. (Let’s for a moment pretend Tomas Bugg never existed. ?)

As we were walking out of the ponsford essendrug supporters yelled 'you can thank the umpires melbourne' so I cleverly yelled back' essendon are a pack of whingers.' They stopped and turned around wanting to go on with it.....fortunately my 6 foot 4 inch 97 kilo (first ruck for Kew Rovers U 15 gold.......top of the ladder in YJFL) son was with me and one look at him and they were on their not so merry way. Ha! Enjoy Dees....Enjoy!!  Ha ! 

Dam, wish you had filmed that, would have been great to see?

My highlight was Fritta helping that fool into the point post and then skipping away like nothing happened.
Looks like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth but he's sneaky mean as previously shown with his don't argue elbow.
Love it.

Essendon have the worst supporters full stop. Can't stop complaining against the umpires. Drug cheats rot in hell.


The highlight was we got the 4 points. 

All that matters.

Highlight for me was the final siren and the chorus of boos from the cheats. 

The belting out of the song from the MCG loud speakers, Its a grand old flag its a high flying flag felt special, which completely drowned the pack of A holes out.

I thought Parish on the final siren made a massive [censored] of himself. Mouthing off at the umpire because his team mate didn't get paid a mark at half back when they are down 2 goals down. 

As I mentioned on the other thread they are a stain on the competition, love that we only ever play them once a year. Couldn't stand being forced to watch Essendon more than once a year.

I hope they enjoy the next 6141 days the flogs.

Unrepentant drug cheats.

Who gives a [censored] what they or their supporters think.

Gentleman Jack Viney clearing the cobwebs with a hit on Devon Smith. Classic Viney who will take out a few more before seasons end.

There was something really ordinary about the Ess supporters 

there was a lot of heated exchanges around me in the members with verbal insults

The Ess supporters barracking was extremely provocative

Anyway they left pretty well on the siren the booing was very bad and lasted all game

The double 50 almost caused a meltdown hhahhahahhahah

I thought the umpiring was pretty bad and favored us way too much. Id be upset if i was a bummers fam.

About time though.

The biggest highlight was Tom macca's overhead snap on goal.

The MACCAS momemt sign then came on screen.

I think if you watch the replay, yes we got some favourable calls, but there were quite a few non calls that went against us too. Rivers a clear push in the back with a couple of minutes to go. Kossi taken high. Etc etc. 2 meter Peter paid a mark that well, wasn't really a mark.

I too would be annoyed at the umpiring if the shoe was on the other foot, but to blame the loss on them is ridiculous. There are only 3 games this year that were won and lost due to the umpiring, and all were decided by 1-2 points. 11 points win with 6 more scoring shots is simply not a win handed to a team by the umpires. It just isn't. 

We got out to a 21 point lead at one point. No matter how bad the umpiring is, it won't do that for you!

It's an interesting one, i've been to 8 games this year and it's the first time opposition fans have interacted with me in a negative manner after the game. 

I was leaving the G alone and had several unprovoked comments directed at me by Essendon fans 

  • 'How much did you pay the umpires?"
  • "Free Kick Melbourne"
  • "Have you seen the police anywhere? The Bombers just got robbed"
  • "Go to the snow"
  • "Can't wait until you lose again"

Like they were all harmless comments overall, but in the 7 other games I've been to, nothing said to me but somehow from leaving the ground to the corner of Bridge/Punt I copped 5 random comments aha 

Had lovely opposition fans next to me in certain games (Hawks/Saints) and had very civil conversations with them during the game about the state of play etc.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
