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.


Same thing I’ll do if we win. Continue on with my life as usual.

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.

  • 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?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
