Be asking Tony Mockbell for a fresh “batch” and changing my number!

 
 

I won't be angry, I'll be disappointed

I won't be surprised and I won't let it ruin my Saturday night

Turn my phone off to avoid social media and the 142 posts from the bombers fans I have on social media.


Finally accept that 2025 is not meant to be.

 

Not be surprised


My expectations are so low now that just not getting thrashed would be a god send. A win is a bonus.

...not be remotely surprised.

We're clearly a really bad football team. Injuries barely begin to explain what's happening with us.

The fact that the coach, media and many fans thought last week was a significant step forward is damning.

Get depressed, mope, question what have I done to deserve this,

then saddle up for the next game

Where would a scrappy win against a 14th placed Essendon get us? Or rd 7 when we play Richmond or Rd 8 against the Eagles. Any wins in these 3 games is merely fools gold.


Not care!

Paris Roubaix is on, the Masters is on, the northern rivers autumnal weather is magic and very conducive to golf, cycling and surfing, and pub beers! 🤌🤜

same thing i do after every game. rant on demonland for a few hours and then move on with my life

Sounds like me 🤣


I'll be a little bit surprised if we lose, actually.

And obviously disappointed.

Ever spot we climb on the ladder downgrades Essendon's draft pick, and that is an important task.

Plus, win this one and we get a bit of momentum and sneak a win over Fremantle and then we can knock off Richmond and the Eagles and we'll have an even win-loss record by round 8 and have a mandate to just get obnoxiously violent at Hawthorn and get the big upset despite incurring a few suspensions and boooyaaa we're back.

Wheeeeeeeeeee! Wheeeeeeee!

(that sound is me riding the unicycle which is our current bandwagon)

I’ve made a rod for my own back. My wife’s Essendon membership was about to lapse. Would have been 25 years, but I renewed it without telling her as a surprise.

It arrived today and she has already got the stickers out threatening that they’re going on the car and our son will change to them if we don’t win.

I’m not saying I’m an [censored], but I’ve done smarter things.

 

I'll be at the comedy festival happy as Larry after a few margaritas

Gather round is great - means we can do something else in footy season for a weekend.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
