You’re not a Melbourne supporter. A true Melbourne supporter would never, ever celebrate a loss, no matter the reason.

Lawyers, Guns and Money would disagree Ghosty. I KNOW what ur saying, but let me ask you this? Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one, or do the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many? If greater good occurs because of something which is not, is that not a good outcome, depending of course on the long term success of the negative action! Over to you Ghosty!

I want Goodwin gone as much as anyone but this is Essendon.
One of the absolute must win games of the season.
The knives can wait .... For a couple weeks.

If we lose this week I will CELEBRATE because it will mean Simon will be closer to the AXE

CELEBRATE is too strong a word but it might be one week closer to a new direction that these players and supporters desperately need.

Yes Celebrate WAS too strong a word um maybe ambivalent might be better!

Nah, reckon we win win this one. I hate Essendon, never forget 2000.


………. be very, very glum throughout the long drive back from Adelaide to Canberra.

Continue to love and support the best sporting club in the world, while simultaneously multi-tasking the following:

  1. driving my family to distraction via yelling, moaning and head rubbing

  2. being physically restrained from throwing assorted remote controls at the large TV screen.

  3. typing furiously on Demonland to express my rage, disappointment , self-inflated opinions, and frustration.

Sums up my 2025 experience really.

I hear ya DOF. The inaugural Gather Round, I went by car, only stopped once, got to Adelaide, parked the car, arrived just before the first bounce, sat in the heavy, nonstop rain watching us lose to 🤮Essendon🤮, got back in the car and came straight back to Melbourne. But…

I wasn’t glum because I was with DA buddies and we don’t do glum. 😉

All good PF, BBP has expressed my sentiment perfectly. Also pleasing is that he didn’t put “of” after “strong” and yes, it does matter. 😁

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
