Delusional demon 82

? Yes those were the days. I also remember those ads from demon radio circa 1999

I thought last week Adelaide were supposed to be a “scalp” however we beat them so well and by so much that they looked putrid and now they’re not a team , but one out of form and riddled with injuries and we’re just still flat track bullies who haven’t beaten anyone yet If we had won by 5 goals with Adelaide in the contest up to the end the narrative on Adelaide would be different , and then conversely the magnitude of our win (almost stupidly) would have been seen as greater in the eyes of some , as it would be seen as a real scalp ! FMD , just maybe Adelaide got beaten by a better side. Let’s see how Adelaide are now a magically a “top team “again when they have a redemptive win on the weekend . Like us as supporters the media has preconceived biases towards our team , we don’t fully trust them yet , and we see the reality of the incredible stats of the past month , yet we don’t believe it , it’s something of an outlier or an anomaly , as this is simply just not Melbourne like , and the universe will surely correct itself shortly and we’ll go back to our old ways . Well that’s what I (and many others mind you) thought of Richmond last year , maybe (just maybe) we might now be finally proven wrong about our own club too

Interspersed with a whole lot of Energy Australia ads booming on that old scoreboard that eventually caught on fire ?

Great memories here ! had this and dynamic demons on vhs (pbly now somewhere in dads garage) ... 98 was my first season as an MFC member (was in year 10 so had one of those concession 18 memberships IIRC) so watched a lot of footy live that year remember voice of the G and the half time PlayStation challenge , sitting on those old wooden seats in the 56 Olympic stand cheering on the Ox and the wizard we clicked and got momentum at the right time of year leading into finals , same in 2000. Funnily enough we copped a few smashings towards the mid season bye round and then came good and got on a run great to think we might finally now be getting back to September again ?

One week for ed Curnow

No they created Malthouse as the Trojan horse to destroy Carlton

Hmmmm.... essendrug are in a world of pain right now seems laughable a few months ago that media commentators like David king coined the phrase “the Tullamarine globetrotters” with their A+ mark trade period selections and top 4 smokeys predictions... an elite running midfield they said

Benjamin??? Franklin... ?

Thinking the Giants will get up in a close one tonight.... two losses in a row at home would put a bit of pressure on the cats

After round 23 I was lower than a chiwowa’s ball bags ... there are zero excuses for missing finals this year

Looking back I curse my twenty year old self, who back then just took finals appearances every second year for granted

I thought it was because they counted pet and 3 game memberships ? I haven’t been to final since the 2002 semi loss, I will be severely [censored] off if we don’t make it this year

And shot themselves in the foot with it !

Watching this game ... the Weapon and hird on the boundary line BT commentating saying that he’s met the weapon and how he’s turned Essendons fortunes around ... lol how funny BT

Essendon v Melbourne rd7 2012 now on fox footy .... whatever it takes remember this game we got up in the end

Firstly Welcome to the MFC Jake Lever! In the end I think we’ve been more than generous to the crows with that deal... what probably irks me though is that other clubs will play hard ball on the watts trade and we won’t get what we want the road unfortunately never goes both ways , the crows have sooked it up a bit and we’ve blinked . hopefully we will have the premier defender in our backline for the next 10 years

As long as the Carlton doctor isn't involved it could be very well all reasonable

Watts has far more upside from staying with us then his current trade value. If he stopped selling board shorts, and started selling a bit more candy he might have another 2016 like season next year !!!

Knowing Essendon they probably think they could land Lever with next years third rounder.... Can't see them willing to offer a better trade

If we sign Lever then it's only fair for Steven quartemain to then join Channel 7 so he can comentate the dying minutes next years grand final. "Jake Lever you star!!!!! And the longest premiership drought is over ! "

Now if the pies have dropped out ... which other clubs are we competing with ?

Treloar chose pies over Richmond cos he wanted finals success....tigers now having the last laugh on that one .... not worth 2 first rounders at all btw
