This mob are one of the teams that I really enjoy beating during the season. There are just so many reasons to dislike them. 

Dees look to have them beaten on every line on the team sheets but OI do not care about the margin..... 1pt....... 10 goals as long a we beat them.

On a side note....the joys of a European Spring...... expecting a few inches of snow overnight and into the morning..... Game starts at 10.20 am my time. It will finish in time to prepare lunch and have a glass or two of wine.

 

Go Dees!

I always feel a little short changed when we play on a work day and can't enjoy a proper full day build up to the game. On the flip side of course we get the chance to bag our 4 points early then sit back and watch the hoi polloi scrap it out over the weekend. Swings and roundabouts. 


Only concern for mine is being on the receiving end of umpiring like last night. HQ won't want one of their favourites being 0-3. 

Crush them boys.

This is the game I get so nervous about. I cannot stand losing to them. I didn't go last year & the previous time was when we just lost & I had these 2 guys in front of me that carried on like they were going to win the flag.vgheg also through in a comment about the 2000 gf

I hope we win & win well & browny, gawn & Jackson play well & trac runs amok.

Game day. [censored] yes. Early start early finish for this pig farmer. Aus kick tonight. Unfortunately no smoker until tomorrow... Hopefully listening to the Saturday rub discussing Melbourne's 188 point deemolition of Essendon


So after a great weekend last weekend on the Gold Coast, I get to spend this weekend at home with COVID! Both my wife and I have it and am sure the kids will pick it up soon too! Ah well had to get it out of the way at some stage, going to get the fire going at home, order some Dan muphy dinner and sit back, relax and enjoy the show! Just hope the umps leave their whistles at home. Still reckon the best umpiring occurs when free kicks for both sides are in the mid teens.

Go well good fellows!

Essendon are bog ordinary at the moment. We're still in second gear.

I predict an unconvincing 25 point win with Trac dominating again

Dylan Shiel is back in the side !! 

Feeling uneasy about this game. We are on a 9 game winning streak, we are not in the best form (which is totally fine for round 3, it’s a long season), we are carrying injuries and Essendon are trash. This can only mean one thing… we could be complacent and lose. 
If we are at 80% output or more we win and win well. They’ll struggle to kick a big score. But they will also be fired up and desperate to win. If we aren’t on our game for long enough they could win, and while we are bound to drop a game soon, I really really really don’t want it to be to those drug cheating a-holes. 


All things being equal,  luck with the ball, the bounce and with the Umpires and injuries,  We should prevail by 30-40 points.

but.....the one thing is what is above the shoulders for both sides, in their heads.  The one thing in our favour is If a certain few players from our side have a poor night, then it will be goodnight to their position in the side for quite some time.

Therefore extrapolating a little bit, our bottom 6 players will try harder than their bottom 6 players.  Therefore a 20 point win.

Anything less is a very poor game from the Dees. 

Go Dees                       B2B in 22

Ethan, you are Lost...……...in Space   !!!!!

Best midfield in the competition vs one of the worst. Comfortable 5 or 6 goal win, and a ‘stress free’ evening I reckon.

The bombers season will be over if they lose tonight so they will throw everything at us and come out firing.

Stats-wise they did ok against the Lions.  Came out and kicked 4.5 in the first Q.

If we are 5% off, we will get beat.  All about mentality and focus tonight

Hard to know.  Without pictures, I can't tell if you're playing a team of midgets or not.

Love your confidence however I agree a four goal win for me. A better back line and it would be ten!

Bah to all the worriers!

We will be all over the bummers tonight and your good old Uncle Bitter will be there ( after an early warm up pub crawl ) to gloat over it.

Dees by plenty!

if we have someone run with Parish, they have no-one left really.

how sweet would be a big 80 pt win be?  man i hate these [censored]!

 

Problem is they are a young inexperienced side who we really don't know how they will play. Just have to be switched on which is probably the hardest part.

There's a buzz at work that Max is not playing - anyone heard anything? Trying to get to source, but an Essendon-connected colleague is sure about it - possibly covid related

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
