This comment from bomberblitz will resonate with a few.

Umpires gave us 3 goals when the game was truly over

Disgraceful evening up I have ever seen- umpire no 22 take a bow

I’m shocked, it’s not just us!!

    I actually think he is getting better as an umpire. Or more consistent in his decisions

    Any chance we can borrow that corpse and warm it up for next weekend in Perth?

    This is your typical Essendon supporter. Gone the early crow at qtr time when they were 1 point up. They think they're better than who & what they are. We may not be that good but christ we haven't allowed Dyson Heppell to play 250 games for us!

    Surely there is something about the umpires?

    That will be at year's end the most unanswered question of the year.

    And it should go to the AFL Commission.

    We lost hit-outs by 16, but won clearance by 12.

    My long held belief, it isnt who wins the tap out, it only matters once it hits the ground

    What if the midfielder roves it off the tap out?

    Essendon Fans Blaming Umpires on Facebook is always brilliant reading after the Verucas go under. After most wins too. Talk about victim complex.

    Umpire 22 doesn't even try to hide his distain for us anymore. It's blatantly obvious.

    Funny I thought Draper was one of their best. Better than petty though Harrison and JvR nullified a lot of their essenscums dominence. I see the bummers as like the blue baggers two years ago 

    Draper was terrible. He got a few touches around the ground but generally just bombed his kick long (1/2 times to a Demons player). A decent to good ruck would’ve taken the game by the nuts, given he was playing against two non-rucks.

    Bombers fans are the English football fans of the AFL.

    They arrogantly expect to win

    Probably a lovely person, and I can see how he's a fan favourite, but there are players who are "characters" off the field, and professional on it.. and there players whose "zaniness" translate into on-field stuff that gets an A+ from the "sport is entertainment" crowd but isn't great for people who like seeing their team win. 

    Draper spends too much time doing "funny" stuff, and not enough doing the solid stuff everyone expects from all players, but especially ruckman. I reckon Petty and van Rooyen were solid on Saturday, but I also think Goldstein would have given them a bath.

    7,305 will bring up 20 years

    what a time to be alive

    Is there a week off before finals again this season? Because the Bombers have a September 4th deadline to avoid the 20-year mark and the week off would start finals on the 6th.

    The last time Essendon won a final without Kevin Sheedy coaching; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_in_Australia

    Wow, you do not think of Kylie Minogue and Penny Wong, or Hugh Jackman and Scott Morrison, as being the same age.

    I could almost be satisfied missing top-4 just to play Essendon in an elimination final and crush their dirty cheating entitled souls.

    There is on YouTube a podcast called Absolutely Essendon, (latest episode from a days ago). Unfortunately I don’t have the skill to put the link up, but easy to find. Very amusing and good to watch. The two presenters certainly don’t hold back. Well worth a look.

    The opposite of someone on gameday thread who called game over when we were 2 goals behind.

    Told a mate who doesn't come on here, watch umpire 22 he'll pay a frees against and you'll think wtf was that for. Thought we'd gotten off okay until the last 10 minutes then bang. Just when you least expect it.

    The sad thing is I'm pretty confident there was almost exactly the same post in the DL game day thread.

    Ummm sorry Jibroni, your implying that Cwood supporters actually have some sort gainful employment.

    If turning up at centre link by video on a stolen phone counts  then ok, I'll give you that.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
