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.

    • Haha 4

    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 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

    • 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.

      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?
