I reckon a lot of teams are blowing their O rings out throwing everything to try go with us and prove something.  Watching some of our blokes still sprinting in the fourth to get to the ball and doubled up oppo players made me smile.  That Adelaide game didn't bother me either, was crap umpiring, no point busting bodies up for an ego trip that looked like it was loaded from the outset.  Those wankers carried on like they were redeemed for losing a grandfinal.  Funniest crap I have ever clapped eyes on.
100x this. The social media reaction was hilarious.
"Makes up.for last year"
"Not so tough away from the G"
"Guess we've had the last laugh now".

Lol!

I think it was the Melbourne game, 5 seconds to go and Ellis of all people runs someone down from behind. Collingwood slapped themselves on the back for matching us for three quarters but if you want to beat us you have to go right to the final siren.

+1 on the Adelaide game  :lol. I reckon even Dimma has forgotten about it or at least didn’t take it as seriously as they did after he said the Collingwood game was the hardest yet  ;D

Could you even have imagined an opposition team getting the kudos that Collingwood received
after a 7 goal loss to the Tigers even last year?
Then today someone rings up and comments on our draw  :huh
Make up your minds losers

Then: “Tiges got hardest draw, back to earth for them  :lol
Now: “Tiges draw is too easy!!  :'(

Also something something about home ground advantage and MCG, though 4 of 5 of our MCG games so far have been against co-tenants.

Can’t wait to see what the next excuse will be.

Quite possibly that we are too good? ;D

Thought the article was about injuries and in our case a lack of them. Not sure why people get antsy over a factual piece of journalism.

Lets face it the only players of note that we have lost to injury is
Prestia for 3 games.
Houli for 1
Vlastuin 1
Caddy 1

Suspensions
Broad 3
Caddy 1
Vlastuin 1
Graham 1

First you forgot Rioli, secondly people claims include last season too where we had a few other short term ones although nothing major.

People aren’t getting antsy that people are saying we’ve had a good run with injuries but because of the fact people are using at as the primary reason we won the flag essentially taking away credit from our great flag win. Good injury run, soft draw, our top players get off where others would be suspended, got to play all our finals at the mcg, blah blah blah.....

Rioli is our best defensive forward. Why not mention him?

Just about all premiership teams have a good run with injury.

Fact.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.
