FIIK

Not sure those in jumpers know much better

Something magical needs to happen and soon.

It's not like these guys can't play football... just that our game isn't much chop !!

Go us

Basically, a lot of people have to do their jobs a hell of a lot better than they are doing them right now, right across the board.

    Richie Benaud would love it, but I imagine he'd be on his own in that regard.

    Dons will roll us and give their fans some false hope.

    Well LDU decided to stay at nth because part of that decision was that win they had against us

    I’d argue, it’s the players attitude and fitness that isn’t much chop. Saw more spirit 12 years ago.

    Over here for the game. Went for a walk mid morning. It’s going to be hot.

    The Bombers supporters I am surrounded by are less optimistic than I am about the result. Which is saying something.

    2012, round 10, winless Dees came up against 2nd on the ladder Bombers. Need, yet to record a win, swung Garland forward and he kicked 2 goals in the last to win the match for us. I missed the game for a friend of a friend's bucks party and won a ps3 as part of the deal.

    I'll be missing tonight's game because it's the first night of Passover and I'll be with my family. I'll be sure to keep an eye on the game though. Is Goodwin capable of unconventional moves? Doubtful! Is there a chance we can win? Absolutely!

    Go Dees!

    I was at that Game. For some reason, I had a gut feeling we’d win.

    This year, not so much!

    Those who don’t revel in abject pessimism will give DL a wide berth. I’m in that camp, but clearly I’m also a masochist 🤪

    No doubt then you will enjoy demonland and the game with a smile.

    I should be in a pub with a beer

    I assume that’s a joke.

    What a false dawn that win was against us in round 2.

    more likely from the comeback loss against us late last year

    it's been reasonably well expected for a while that he wasn't leaving; was just a question of how big the deal was to get him to stay

    turned out be big!

    Like Ritchie, umpire 22 is dead to us as well, - unlike Ritchie, 22 unfortunately keeps haunting us.

    Man I am dreading this game

    Losing will be bad enough but the way we play is just painful to watch

    C'mon Demons, give us something to cheer about!

    Having looked at the bombers line up, I feel a bit more confident. Average midfield,

    they are missing Parish, Caldwell, Wright, Langford etc

    Maybe we are a chance?

    You're kidding!

    Anyone else remember the game against the Bombers last year? We got seven goals up, then the Dons came back in a hurry and got very close, and it was largely because of Umpire 22. I was there. [censored] that guy.

    With Carlton on the board, the AFL media will go into overdrive on Goodwin if we lose

    • 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?
