If I see one more Melbourne supporter crying a river for West Coast I'm going to puke.

It's really no wonder we're perceived as such a weak club when a team whose supporters have ripped on us for decades is suddenly being cuddled and nurtured by our own supporters. 

It's their once-in-every-three-decades slump at the bottom. They'll survive.

[censored] West Coast.

haven’t seen one even remotely sympathetic post re WC. 

im more fascinated by there demise. and i can’t think of a team that deserves some time at the bottom more than they do

    Thanks Essendon you pieces of garbage 

    Thats the spirit!  you tell em.

    Amazing how much hatred there is on this forum for Essendon. LOL. Apart from the dirty 2000 GF ( we didnt fight back, too soft) they've humiliated us far less than Geelong and Hawthorn over the years.

    We been very lucky with the role of the dice over the last month. Hopefully Crows win today though unlikely.

    Collingwood get such a good ride from the AFL. They'll never play at the Cattery.

    Dillon will send us back again next year.

    What's the significance of 186? The biggest losing margin is still 190 point when we lost to Fitzroy at Waverley in 1979.

    I blame the Dees Team Manager for that record loss.

    Heard about this bloke but never met him. Word on the street is that he is 'a colourful racing identity'.

    The remaining fixture is now seriously compromisd by the Eagles pathetic output and a disgrace to the compretition. There's no fix to this. Hang you head - again - Gil.

    Evidence: Eagles play 5 teams in the 8 and three teams seriously vying for the Eight( tiges , blues and Freo). And one Dud - Kangas.

    Those missing out from now, Pies, Power and Us  greatly disadvantaged. Given our position as 4th on %, we have the biggest risk of failing to make Top four given ALL four teams from 5th to 8th currently have the Eagles jackpot coming their way %-wise.

    I know I'm stating the bleeding obvious, but gee this should focus Goody and the team that we have a stacked deck, but possession is 9/10ths of the law so its in our hands at least.

    In terms of %, to offset not playing WCE we will just have to make the most of beating:  North, Hawks, Blues and Giants.  Plenty of % to be gained there if we want it enough.

    imv the top 2 and top 4 are set - just the respective orders to be decided.

    Don't worry, Eagles will improve under a new coach. And with some premiership players coming back from injury, they should have less beltings.

    The fixture is compromised regardless. Always has been in the AFL era, always will

    Wouldnt be too sure of that LH I am genuinely concerned at our ability to win. Just thought Geelong would have set us up for a run of wins now not so sure

    Only 4 teams got to play each other off a bye this year, todays Crows and Collingwood, and Saints and Swans a few weeks back.

    The numbers are terrible for teams of the bye. No team has won playing a team who didn’t have the bye the week before.

    The loses include:

    Lions to Hawks
    Dockers to Tigers
    Geelong to Port
    Suns to Carlton
    Essendon to Dockers
    Eagles to Swans Horror show
    Us in Geelong

    The only team not to play yet is the hawks who play the Suns today. If they lose literally every team off the bye has lost playing against a team that played.

    It’s obviously not a coincidence.

    Who?

     

    FWIW I think we're better off with the filth winning today*. We've got no hope of finishing top 2, so it's better if the teams behind us lose to give us the best chance to finish top 4. 

    *Shocking admission I know.

    I love listening to Bucks talking so confidently about how well Collingwood are setting up and their structure.

    He’d be a great coach for them.

    On that theory get on Freo to beat the Dogs, Essendon to beat Port and Hawthorn to beat Carlton next week. All under dogs.

    Agree 1000% with this. It’s a better result to have teams just below us losing and creating a gap for our top 4 hopes.

    We might end up finishing 4th and play Collingwood (1st) which would totally offset the home ground advantage of finishing top 2.

    Crows would be lucky to walk away with anything under a 10 goal loss the way this is panning out.

    I'm with you .  I expected a loss last week Vs Ctas,  but I am bullish about rest of the year.  It will be close but the North game should lock a good % buffer for us. Hopefully.

    Just want the chance for a home final in Week 2.

    A serious query. Have I missed something - has Simmo gone?   Or you think he will go?

    Absolutely.  Go Pies today from my angle.  Hoping for a big win for them.  Fanncy barracking for Mason Cox- I should be ashamed.

    Of course it isn't a coincidence. 

    And the pies get yet another leg up being the only contender who, coming off a bye, get to play another team coming off a bye (added bounus, Burgess is their fitness coach, so we know the crows have been smashed on the track in their bye period)

    Port and Lions likely to face off in the Qualifier so thats good. Dont want to finish 3rd and play interstate. 4th puts us against Pies which is our fastest route to the GF.  But I'll take 5th .All is not lost from there.

    If your worried about the likes of Adelaide then we have a serious problem which I'm not seeing.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
