Foreman went in as the clear favourite (Footscray) and Ali (Melbourne) knocked out Foreman in the eighth round. 

Will the Sacibas get the Dogs like it did George

We're a big chance as Footscray are banned from training at their usual venue.

Apparently we used to be allowed to hold up signs like this…

Nowadays what tonight’s banner says is about as far as we can go: “Demon Spirit vs Doggy Bite”

Personally not a fan of this wording but the Club clearly is. 🤷‍♀️ 

 

I'm expecting something like a R23 2021 type win or a GF 2021 scorecard. 

Statement game to the naysayers.

What a beautiful sunny winter’s morning here in Melbz. A perfect morning to wallow in defeatism, amirite guys???

LOLS I get it that not everyone is as deluded as I am. 😅

This is how I see it: every match is winnable, there’s no such thing as a foregone conclusion. At the first bounce both teams are on the same score, no one gets a head start.

Anyways we have every chance of winning, and I know we can. Moreover, I think we will!!!

GIVE ‘EM HELL, DEMONS!

SHOW NO MERCY!!!

Break out the defibrillators y’all…Dees by Rooey - 2 pts 😁

 

PS I’ve implemented a self-imposed ban from DL in the event of a loss. Postgame thread is a no-go until at least 24-36 hours afterwards, by which time I should be able to read posts without wanting to punch someone in the throat. 😁

 

I know we shouldn't win tonight but I betting we will.

Dees by twenty seven.


For my fellow degenerate gamblers on here

Do we like the 22.5 head start?

Ali was a racist.
Just sayin'.

I might be too late but my suggestion for the banner is:

WHAT NOISE DOES FOUR BOMBS MAKE??

not really. if the Dags win it’ll be by plenty. they get on a roll

I do however think we’ll win by under 25

because - no logical reason 

I reckon our smalls plus Melk and Fritsch can do some damage up front tonight. Their tall backs are average, once we don’t plonk it on Jones’ head

Spread them, move Jones out of position. 

just need some (gulp) accurate kicking going forward

Jamarra to kick 2 + goals

WB to win

T Rivers 25+ disposals

 

Odds - 3.50

Thats you most pre games!


Can’t see us getting remotely close. Happy to be proven wrong of course 

Just now, The heart beats true said:

Why is this game listed to start at 7:15? Thats very unusual isn’t it?

It was originally supposed to start at 7:30. They changed it so as folks could watch the other match scheduled for tonight without missing too much of it.

Oh ok. Thanks. I bet half the TV audience will turn on at 7:30 and wonder how we are already 8 goals up.

I reckon you should've gone with 'style' instead of 'bite'

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
