Gee I'm surprised at all the hate towards Essendon. Is it leftovers from 2000? I'm saving all my anger for the next time we play eagles, crows and lions. Their supporters are atrocious.

Yeah maybe some.

Yes.  Anger never subsides. Seeing Hardwick holding Brad Green's arms from behind whilst allowing the thug Wallis to punch Green in the throat. Disgraceful.  Together with Long’s dog act on Simmonds, two of the lowest acts seen in a GF. 

Heart skipped a beat even just reading this, brings it all right back. Then Dimma gloating about how Ox was a cry-baby in that game.

Respect for him as a footballer and coach but gee he leaves a sour taste.

    I’ve got 2 mates who barrack for Essendon, love them both but they really do live in another world. A world where Essendon is still the best and Sheedy and Hird are legends. As opposed to the reality…their team is ordinary and has been for a long time now, Sheedy is a dribbling fool and Hird lost the collective respect of the football world by refusing to admit fault. 
    However I think this is a massive danger game for us. Lever’s a big loss and Brown and rain, well you do the math! On top of that they’ll be throwing everything at us and there’s a sprinkling of talent on their list. Whilst I can guarantee we’ll win the Premiership I can’t guarantee a win tomorrow, although it is extremely likely.

    I don't hate them.  No point hating any club or its supporters because you'll suffer everytime they win

    That hasn't been much of an issue with the bombers for some time now.

    but through pain and suffering you can develop an even more intense hate

    it's like preseason training, it conditions and refines

    and sometimes you've got to pick yourself up and get back on the horse (hate)

    Why bother loving the Demons? You'll just suffer every time they lose?

    It's the joy of sport, hating, loving, suffering, happiness all on something that is utterly meaningless in the scheme of things.

    I don't suffer when Melbourne loses.  When we win I enjoy it.  If we lose then that's OK too because part of life is accepting that things don't always go the way you want.

    Boomers and their obsession with syntax, grammar, accuracy and factual information!

    True, but there is a spring in my step every time those [censored] lose. And I have been pretty springy stepped for a good decade now 

    Hate is such a strong word …….
    It was obligatory to hate Pies as a Melbourne supporter in years gone, the two just went together and that DNA never goes away.

    Hate Blues because they are Carlton.

    Hate Dons since 2000 and their no responsibility drug saga enhanced it.

    Hate Cats because of the unfair advantage they get.

    The hate is unhealthy but the schadenfreude of watching those  teams lose was the only salve during the Dee Dark Days.

    In the podcast he mentioned that they typically use the bye round to do an additional running load block which helps set up fitness levels for the back half of the year. He mentioned that last year they didn’t have that ability but he didn’t say how heavily it impacted the program.

    Hmmm.

    Thank you for that.


    Just watched the West Coast replay and noticed what a great but unobtrusive game Viney played. I get constantly annoyed at the unfair criticism he endures. He is as good as any in our midfield.

    when we were so poor I enjoyed following Hafey's magpies. They were an exciting team. Have always had a second team when we're travelling badly. Liked West Coast in their "Cousin's prime" and GWS were always good to follow until Jeremy Cameron left. And of course North back in the days of Blight and the Krakouer brothers

    Hate is such an emotional word

    It's just a game.... Ted Lasso anyone?

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
