For your sake i hope Katrina (the OP from the "The importance of keeping HUMBLE as supporters" thread) isn't around these parts WCW

I’m watching this match with eight Carlton psychos. It’s hard not to get swept up in the joy and hysteria.

Just quietly, it’s like they’ve won a GF (bless their delusional little hearts) 😁

Gee the goal umpires would have been a bit bored in the final term. Cannot believe a goal wasn't scored in the final term

Really...then it was a great decision by me to switch off at 3Q time.

Seems like the only thing I missed was the Voss spray.

The Blues players look and sound very ‘meh’ singing the club song.

6 behinds scored in the final quarter by two teams is embarrassing for the AFL; Sevens ratings must’ve plummeted and their sponsors would’ve been [censored]!

They’re in the hunt as much as anyone IMO.

She’s a wide open field this year.

Ahh bombers fans on bomberblitz are hilarious.

And right up until 2000 when yes, they had a truly outstanding team.  But oh how it warms the heart to know that since their 2004 elimination final win they've done Sweet. F. A. 

And it warms it even more knowing with this list they'll do nothing for another 5, probably 10 years.  Soft mids, skinny talls and overweight half forwards.  Its just so wonderful to watch.  The same list manager for 2 decades but yet in total denial its his fault. Lets hope they never sack him.

Up there with the Hawks, Filth & Norf for the most arrogant, entitled & arseholic bunch of supporters to have ever walked the planet (some exceptions but i can count them on two hands in half a century).  Crows not far behind.

Hopefully starting with QB this week, no mercy Demons!  Give 'em Hell!

That would be a 'verb' Wiz - what they called in primary school 'doing words' - but good point otherwise.

You know what, as I woke up this morning the one of the first thoughts that ran through my head was: “that was a verb you muppet not an adjective” 

Explains my poor English results!!!

Of all the people Ess could have chosen as the 'hero' for the night they chose Hird.  Tim Watson, Wanganeen and Bomber have had more success.  And Bombers' misdemeanours were in his personnel life not the club.  Hird brought the club to its knees and now he is their 'hero'

A big Ess effort afoot to PR Hird back into favour.  As if that will heal all that is sick at that club. 

They need a complete clean out of players, staff and board members who were there for the drug saga, just as we did (with a few exceptions) to purge the memory of '186' and what followed. 

Instead they revert back to their painful history.  That they chose Hird shows how misguided they still are. 

Long may they wallow in the purgatory of their own making.

I remember a friend giving me a Matthew Lloyd birthday card with the message this is what a real Coleman medalist looks like. I remember in 2001 the supporters just thought the flag would happen. Nothing has made me more happier than seeing these flogs not win a final in decades. 

Then this supplements drama. The fans don't get it. I'm sick of hearing but there was nothing illegal taken. It was a disgrace that players were injected with supplements that they couldn't be told what was in them.

When Sheedy came out this week & said the AFL should apologise I thought you're kidding.

Are we sure they didn't know what was in the injections?

Jobe Watson freely admitted on 'On the Couch' (at the time) that most of the players agreed to, and were given over 100 injections to the stomach area

No questions from any of them? No records?

Interesting reading all the loathing of Essendon: an attitude I endorse fully.

Any team that has prolonged success gets labelled as "arrogant, entitled etc.." just because they demonstrate a renewed senses of confidence.  Carlton 70's and 80's, Hawks in 3 eras, Geelong, North under Carey, Lions 01-03, Tigers now. To be honest it is a sort of arrogance and entitlement I hope to hold onto over the next 5 years.

But The Bombers are different. They won 1 premiership in an era they were supposed to dominate. When they failed in 1999 they refused to sing their own club song until they won in 2000, denying their supporters the joy of being part of the club's success. And since then they have been a self-indulgent, bland, joyless, mediocre bunch of grand standers whose arrogance hit the high point when injecting their players in secrecy. The fact they have not sacked their entire recruiting team shouts "hubris" very loudly to the AFL world.

The way the AFL applauded their violent thuggery to win the 2000 GF will keep the Bombers forever despised by me, even if at times there are certain players I like watching. I don't really want them to win wooden spoons - that is too easy. I want them believing in their own delusion and staying at position 10-16 for the next 50 years. 

Boy, that felt good to type!

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
