Melbourne have a gift in round 1. Playing Geelong with no Dangerfield as well as likely no Ablett.

You're talking about the Dees, they will stuff it up :rollin
-
I know the Crows are missing a few but they’re looking as average as we did. Fumbles, panicking, erratic ball movement.
-
Adelaide lost :thumbsup
Essendon won :thumbsdown
-
Must have been that Vic bias again. If the game had been played in Adelaide, the Crows wouldn't have choked :whistle :snidegrin.
-
Let’s hope the Dawks can bring it home, a loss first up for FIGJAM will put the pressure on from the get go
-
And if GC can hang on it would be just about a perfect first round
-
Thank you Gold Coast

And the rest of the footy world is still scratching their head on how Carlton were given so many Friday night games :facepalm.
Blues supporters in meltdown on their forum and giving up after just 3 rounds.
We've become the St Kilda of the 21st century. A ****** shambles.
We are an embarrassment to the AFL , how can afl listed players be so poorly skilled , it's heartbreaking, I have supported this club for fifty plus years and I feel so disappointed and disillusioned , I am totally shattered

No Nick no Saints. They and Carlton will be vying for the spoon. The Saints mids couldn't hit the side of a barn.
Poor dears...they're just not used to salary caps and going through proper rebuilds.......:shh
Do they want Hammer back? Their exes still running around at other clubs would beat the current Blues.
Kennedy, Jacobs, Betts, Gibbs, Grigg, Garlett, Waite, Touhy, Henderson, Robinson, Bell, Hampson.

Can’t believe Richardson was re-signed. I had him as the first to go this year should things go pear shaped for them again, and well it has.

Doggies back to winning
And the Bombers back to bumblimg best

Do I bring out the Rohan Connolly letter from 2008 and show what Stage Essendon are at. :shh
Please do Tucker.
Please do tucker, I wasn't here for that
Ok boys here it is once again for your enjoyment and our annual laugh at that sorry establishment that is the Essendon Football Club.
This was my response on this forum in 2008 in response to an article written by Rohan Connolly on how the Tigers will win the spoon this year and probably the next few without making a reference to his Bombers and the fact that Sheeds is now gone and his disintegration of the Essendon side that has left it without a spine and without key players who have retired and the lessening impact of the players in the twilight of their career. Furthermore the lack of any quality draft picks and players who have been recruited as quick fix jobs to plug a small crack in the dam wall.
Anyway as Lisa Simpson from the Simpson episode when Homer buys Marge a bowling ball for her birthday only for Marge to call Homer's bluff and keep the ball and learn to bowl with the sweet talking French homewrecker Jacques whilst going through an emotional rollercoaster on whether she will submit to his suave advances. Amongst all this Homer feels something is not quite right with his marriage and his feelings rub off on Lisa who goes through different stages of emotions depending on how advanced her feelings are.
Well these are the emotions that Essendon fans will go through 1 by 1 as diagnosed by me the regular shrink here on now that the Sheeds era has finished a new more useless apathetic and disillusioning era has begun.
Ahahahahahahah Rohan Connolly and 99.95% of Essendon supporters
welcome to Stage 1 Head in the Sand-
What the last 3 or 4 years have been for you all but despite the signals you were given you have managed to dig your head deeper into the sand. Hope there were no stray pieces of glass in the sand or any traces of urine but with the skata you Bomber fans will have thrown in your faces urine may be a pleasant change from the smelly diarrhoea you will have to live and breathe at the footy ground from now on.
Stage 2 Fear,
Maybe if I took the time to take all the sand out of my eyes then I would not have obstructed vision and really know what my plight is and the path I am going down. Oh no we can't be that crap. I know Collingwood are and Carlton and Richmond have won spoons in the last 10 or so years but not us. Hang on a sec what do we have here? Is that a real turd or just a polly waffle someone irresponsibly left behind? Oh no its a piece of skata. Why is it here and what does it mean? We are Essendon we don't have skata here.
Stage 3 Reassurances-
Yes someone from EFC board endorsing the coach and the team most likely the president wiping the sweat from his receding brow with a wrinkled and withered hanky whilst unbuttoning his top button on his shirt and loosening his tie from around his neck as a gesture of massive psychological proportions indicating that he will not be going to the gallows and admitting in a half baked way that they have on field problems and that they are working feverishly hard to rectify them as these results are Un Essendon Like with an assurance that this coming weekend the team will perform and will be accountable win lose or draw. Narrow losses over the next two weeks leave the place upbeat but 1 win in 8 games since the President's assurance leave the teams fans ready to embark onto the next stage.
Stage 4 Anger
Anger will set in when they will suffer a humiliating 100+ point loss. Most likely to a crappy Victorian team like Hawthorn St Kilda Nought or a pathetic interstate team like Fremantle. Questions that will be asked by disgruntled fans will be- How can a team ladled with talent like the Bombers lose like that? What are they doing? Its a shame Its a shame Its a shame. These players are good enough. We should be dishing out these sort of hidings not copping them. In the meantime footy talk back hotlines from the various radio shows will be clogged by Essendon fans with the same repetitive and hopeless theme of helplessness, places that were once specially reserved post match for Richmond fans whose blood was boiling and were experiencing the same lows. Hopefully the end of the season is nigh by then and most of these yokels can move on successfully to the next stage by which time Santa will be going down their chimneys on Christmas Day to give them their new seasons polo shirt or trackie jacket.
Stage 5 Optimism.
With the new pre season comes new hopes new dreams new challenges and quick fix solutions. By January these Bombers will have well and truly had that abhorrent year behind them so the law of averages says a club like the Bombers cannot stay out of the finals for too long in the modern era. Plus Santa brought me a new Essendon polo so that is definentely a good omen isn't it? Geez I can't wait till casual Friday at work and I can wear this collared masterpiece and show my true colours to all those bastards. Plus I have had enough of this cricket bring on the footy I am an Essendon fan yeah yeah yeah. Carn the Bombers.
Stage 6 What the fornication/anger2.
Surely we cannot be that bad surely we can't keep
losing the way he have been. After all we managed to coax blokes from the VFL who have failed already in their attempts at AFL football to come back and play AFL football. That in itself is a top 6 job isn't it? The guys we have recruited are really good why do we keep losing? Our coach has good intentions. This is so mind boggling. I just can't fathom as to why we are not winning. We are not skata. With a bit of luck things will change I am sure of that. We are better than a 5-17 side I will tell you that, stuff what anyone says. Its time to fly the flag for the footy club what's the talk back hotline for SEN?
Stage 7 Indifference
Lets play out this scenario. Lets say in a work situation or a social one.
Hello so and so. How are you ?
Fine.
Follow the footy?
No not really used to go but don't have the time now with kids and my wife.
Who do you support?
Essendon.
Didn't you have kids and a wife in 2000 though?
Yeah why?
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha tosser, bet you weren't busy in 2000 going to the footy to watch the Bombers you moron.
You find that you have no emotion not because you don't love your club, but because you just don't ,you just sit there and cop it. You have no comebacks to other people's degrading comments about your footy club. The wit has all gone and all you have left is a tendency to become personal with those making the comments such as calling them smart behinds, behindholes or idiots or you merely tell them to get fornicated and have a tendency to lean into violence to quell the situation and give yourself something to hang your hat on. Then you realise that you don't wear hats and that your Bombers scarf is gone too stolen by some smart behind kid from the wrong side of the tracks who found it hilarious to watch you mentally disintegrate at the hands of some knowitall and in your time of frailty when you were not concentrating he took it as a souvenir of his trip to the big smoke just to compound your bad day. Scary for you so and so middle class politically correct suburbanites At least you have your wallet and credit card for now.
Stage 8 Embarrassment.
Realising you have become the butt of jokes from your circle of friends you find a happy medium where you love the game and go to the games
without your friends who conveniently support better sides but on the plus side you have no expectation or any goals. You find the train trip to the G or Dome quite daunting wearing your Essendon polo or trackie jacket that Santa so thoughtfully brought you, as fans from real loser clubs like Nought , Bulldogs, St Kilda and Hawthorn look at you like a cheshire cat who just ate the cream with a sly grin on their face laughing at your pathetic choice of team. You console yourself with the fact that they have never supported a club that had the pedigree of your team. However your current plight almost makes their annual failure for the last 100 years worth it as they may break their greatest winning margin against you each time you face them.
Devoid of pride and answers you avoid the water cooler at work on Monday as management tend to chew the fat there over the weekends footy results and your presence there no matter how brief may invoke an anti Bomber rhetoric which will make you look like a real idiot and hold you back from any promotion that you may be in line for. You have stopped sitting with the stigmatised clappers at the ground on match days. Stories of Baby Bombers and losing 1 game for the entire season become as tiresome as Collingwood's 1958 premiership anecdotes. In a last form of indignity towards you the sweet virginal girl at work with the figure of a model and a pair of breasts hand sculpted from the deepest regions of your fiendish mind who you have fantasized bending over the photocopy machine in that deviant mind of yours, who doesn't even talk to anyone unless she's spoken to overhears a conversation between you and a few workmates on a Monday in the work tea room while she is boiling water for her morning coffee and sifting through the family assorted bikkies in the tin trying to prize out a sought after Scotch Finger from the 60 Granitas nobody wants to eat. Your talking about the weekend footy and all of a sudden she is compelled to tell you she's a Collingwood fan and that 1990 was her favourite year and that years Grand Final was her favourite footy game ever growing up just to rub it in a little further after your Anzac Day loss to the Pies over the weekend. Without a meaningful response and not wanting to seem stupid and rude in case she lets her guard down one Friday night drinks night and hence ruin your chance of a quality fornication you roll your eyes back in a joking way as if you are ignoring her and you keep your responce to yourself. Much to your workmates amusement after she retires to her trusty pod back in the office, they fall into sidesplitting laughter whilst your face turns red much like your teams sash on their jumper. Now your a two time loser you follow a crappy team and you ain't getting near this dame come Friday nite drinks no matter how much she's gonna drink. Moral of the story- Even people who you did not think could or would be threatening are making you feel threatened and are now scoring brownie points against you all because you follow a team that is the laughing stock of the competition.This creates another office problem -Scabbing smokes when you run out is becoming dangerous as somebody who has a spare one may ark up at you and remind you of your place in the football jungle whilst you are still trying to separate the Longbeach/Peter Jackson smokers from the Dunhill, Winfield/ Peter Stuyvesant smokers and you then have to subject yourself to an inferior smoke merely because the person you are asking has no idea on football and you need to fulfill that nicotine urge in your mind that will in turn take away the stress piled on you by these unlikely threatening people.
Stage 9 Rage.
Weekend comes around and for the umpteenth time in the last few years its a pivotal game against a much more credentialled and battle hardened team. Win and you have a golden ticket into the finals. Your season is set up and you can pinpoint that game as the defining moment in which you launched your premiership or final 8 thrust. Lose and its mothballs with all the standard soulsearching questions and emotions. Guess what you lose.... badly............Poor skills, poor decison making by players, players playing in a reckless and undisciplined way, coach playing players who should have been dropped weeks ago due to their poor form and committment all make your blood boil after all you have been witness to this for the last 5 or so years. In fact lets be real frank about this you were never in this game either with the margin ballooning to greater proportions at the end of each quarter. However to your credit you keep your dignity and hold all your raging emotions in check until......... a trivial mistake by a player at a point in the game where you have no chance of winning makes you start to brood like Ted Bundy in a sorority house full of brunette haired women parted in the middle. Come the final siren you break the shackles and restraint is a futile exercise as you start throwing merchandise off your own body down onto the race as the players silently and solemnly trundle in after their awful loss. You continue by throwing your membership at the coach who chose a quick fix solution to see out his contract rather than go the full rebuild and call SEN and all other forms of radio media to express your vitriolic opinion on why your club is crap and mutton dressed up as lamb and how long will this run of crap last. Blah blah blah. You even make it on the news with the terms crisis, failure, disaster and catastrophe describing the story of your clubs shocker of a game with an image of you right in the middle of the screen giving the spray of all sprays and giving the beleagured coach another headache in his herculian task of lifting a side that can't lift.
Stage 10 Hope.
The board notice that the natives are restless. They can see all is not right so they sack the coach and the board then fall on their own sword with a new board pledging on their honour they will come in to rectify the on field situation and restore it to something that will resemble what it was when you were winning flags and making finals at regular yearly intervals. Restorations of the off field variety are also on the cards. Finances are dwindling and so is universal respect. Players from a club who were once cocky and arrogant are now apologetic and sombre to their fans but relieved that a new coach has spared their sorry hides from the AFL scrapheap for another couple of seasons yet or until the new coach has finally completed his player review. The fans talk this all up as a recipe for success. After all they have been through who can blame them. The law of averages says 16 AFL teams 8 finals spots that's a 50% chance. Now that new blood is in and entrenched that surely equates to success. This board is not capable of blowing merely their own trumpet and having personal interests at heart only. It won't affect the on field performance. After all we are Essendon.
Stage 11 Spend
When you are fearful of something going wrong what do you do? You spend, it takes your mind off the real issues concerning you and you feel temporarily better. In football parlons that means going into the draft and picking up cheap recycled goods that can hopefully do the job properly this time around. After all if you do nothing you will incur the wrath of our constituents, so at least we are showing that we are doing something. With spending comes a false confidence and a false bravado so all this unbridled faith has to turn to something good eventually even if we no longer make a yearly profit and our finances are becoming more and more dire by the day. We also undertake a venture in which we lure back to the club former premiership players from bygone eras and give the fans a chance to mingle with them and take their minds off current matters by shrewdly disguising them as Club 2000 or Club 93 something that was once revered and fans can relate to. We will spend heavily and serve the best champagne at the best venue with the best finger food. By the time our money runs out the fans will be lucky to get a Patties Party Pie let alone some decent tomato sauce to accompany it and Gold Medal Coca Cola rather than the real thing.
Stage 12 We didn't cater for this.
After a reasonable start that had the conservatives talking about scraping into the 8 and the optimists talking about top 4 and yes even a Grand Final as well ,the dream has crashed after a number of lossess in a row some heavy some heavier and some that they should have won if they weren't skata finals is merely a pipe dream. How could this be? All the so called preparation, dedication planning effort how can it amount to mediocrity, zilch, failure? Where to from here? Rather than trouble yourself and turn yourself black and blue,give yourself a break and return to stage 1. It will take the heat off for at least 18-24 months after all you'll get your social life back and that will at least prosper. Once the gloss of your binge drinking subsides after a couple of drink driving convictions and a failed marriage to complement all your personal and social misgivings then proceed to go through the other stages one by one till its time to go back to stage 1 in about five years after two full terms of coaching served by two separate coaches who were so skata that the club were never going to renew their contracts or increase their tenure and repeat the process over again. Continue all this for at least 25 years as a minimum and only make the finals once or twice as a token gesture in between to break up the fun or monotony depending on the fragility of your state of mind. Furthermore factions within the supporter group emerge and the club is looking more disjointed and fragmented with each passing year. Enjoy Rohan Enjoy. You have been a journalist all your life to become what a male Bomber version of the bitter twisted and degenerate writing that Caro produces in regards to the Tigers. Oh Rohan would you like to see the psychaitrist now or in 25 years?

:bow :clapping
Thanks mt
-
Bomber fans I see are at either stages 1 or 2. A couple more losses in the coming weeks and they'll move onto the other stages of anger, embarrassment and indifference lol.
They and the Essendon sycophants in the media were always deluded in believing Stringer, Smith and Saad would make the Bombers a top 4 side and premiership contenders :lol :facepalm. Whereas Nank, Caddy & Prestia more than filled desperate needs for us in 2017, none of Essendon's three 'high profile' recruits are consistent inside ballwinners which is what the Bombers are lacking. Their midfield is the problem and especially so again this year with Heppell and Merrett struggling.
-
My boss and another old bloke at work have been at 7 for a couple years. They were strong on stage 5 over the off season but they've escalated straight back to step 7 with a vengeance.

-
Just looking at some of the other games and goal shot misses from relatively easy shots I feel really sorry for the sides/players that feel constrained to kick goals traditionally.
Our boys put on a clinic today for non traditional goal kicking.
-
RIP CFC
They’re finished and Bolton should be worried very soon if this keeps up
-
Looks like there will be no undefeated teams after 4 rounds with Essendon 5 goals up on Port midway last qtr. So we should end up in the top 4 at the end of the round.
Melbourne has got a quick jump on the Hawks: 27 - 7. Full house sign needed on Anzac Eve if the Dees win today.

-
It was a free to Carlisle but the pass should have been out in front of him and he should have held onto it in any case as the physical contact came after he dropped the ball.
North giving the Hawks a flogging so far: 60 - 18.
-
Play on for mine
-
Yep - Davis clearly hit the ball first and the contact with Carlisle was an incidental result of the same action.... :shh

Carlisle should also attract a nomination for the Hampson memorial award for marking like a Gumby

There are some terrible sides this year that don't look like winning a game unless they are playing each other - St Kilda, Carlton, Brisbane and Suns. Even the Dogs are poor as they are playing a young team. Usually that means you need to win more games than usual to reach the finals and the top end of the ladder. It won't surprise me that teams will need 13 wins to play finals and possibly 16 wins to get into the top 4.

Why is the media comparing Parker's front-on collision with Impey (while the latter was bending head down to pick up the ball) to Cotch's coming from the side bump on Shiel with both going for the loose ball? They are two completely different situtations! :huh
-
It’s a Chinese whisper that gets embellished every time it is told. Cotch hit Shiel in the side while going for a ground ball. He didn’t hit Shiel in the head. Shiel got up holding his shoulder, played on, and later got cleaned up in an aerial contest with Astbury. He may have received whiplash in the Cotchin collision but there was absolutely nothing untoward.

Its just beautiful watching them destruct. We got 3 players and won a flag, they got 3 players and are 10 years away from anything and Worsfold has a new contract. Its just beautiful. I wonder how much of the salary cap they spent on Springer, Smith and Saad.

They actually thought they were close to a flag and with the media hyping them up as contenders :wallywink, the Dons topped up rather than addressing their needs. I remember tweeting to Rohan Connolly in December that Stringer, Smith and Saad would do nothing to solve their midfield woes and if he believed they would then he was living in fairyland. He didn't like it lol.
Welcome to reality, Bombers! :rollin

I just had a read of bomberblitz. As someone who like most of you copped it from those imbeciles, it was great reading. There not as good as us at the vitriol but they'll get there, they have years of mediocrity and practice ahead of them and they'll improve. It was good for a laugh though.

Amazing stuff.

I just had a read of bomberblitz. As someone who like most of you copped it from those imbeciles, it was great reading. There not as good as us at the vitriol but they'll get there, they have years of mediocrity and practice ahead of them and they'll improve. It was good for a laugh though.
You should set up an account on there Ramps and kick off a complete rebuild is needed thread
-
Was it Rohan Connolly that had them as top 4? A couple weeks ago on 360 Robbo said it must be the coaching as the list is too good.
Time to wake up. The list is awful and the handful of good players are horribly overrated. Nobody overrates their own list like Essendon do. They are cult like they way they all sip the coolaid.
-
King tipped them for the flag..... :shh
-
Poor old Crows, fought back from 3 goals down in the final quarter to get in front with a minute or so left and then lose it
-
thanks mightytiges. a good read. They as a club look like they are gonna be down the bottom for years.
-
The Bummer's do overrate their list true. I remember during the compromised drafts they just didn't draft. They thought they had the kids but it was obvious to all they needed more talent. Seemed strange to me.
-
They actually thought they were close to a flag and with the media hyping them up as contenders :wallywink, the Dons topped up rather than addressing their needs. I remember tweeting to Rohan Connolly in December that Stringer, Smith and Saad would do nothing to solve their midfield woes and if he believed they would then he was living in fairyland. He didn't like it lol.

Bomber fans I see are at either stages 1 or 2. A couple more losses in the coming weeks and they'll move onto the other stages of anger, embarrassment and indifference lol.
They and the Essendon sycophants in the media were always deluded in believing Stringer, Smith and Saad would make the Bombers a top 4 side and premiership contenders :lol :facepalm. Whereas Nank, Caddy & Prestia more than filled desperate needs for us in 2017, none of Essendon's three 'high profile' recruits are consistent inside ballwinners which is what the Bombers are lacking. Their midfield is the problem and especially so again this year with Heppell and Merrett struggling.
Stage 12 now??

I think you're right, wayne :lol
Stage 12: We didn't cater for this.
After a reasonable start that had the conservatives talking about scraping into the 8 and the optimists talking about top 4 and yes even a Grand Final as well ,the dream has crashed after a number of lossess in a row some heavy some heavier and some that they should have won if they weren't skata finals is merely a pipe dream. How could this be? All the so called preparation, dedication planning effort how can it amount to mediocrity, zilch, failure? Where to from here? Rather than trouble yourself and turn yourself black and blue,give yourself a break and return to stage 1. It will take the heat off for at least 18-24 months after all you'll get your social life back and that will at least prosper. Once the gloss of your binge drinking subsides after a couple of drink driving convictions and a failed marriage to complement all your personal and social misgivings then proceed to go through the other stages one by one till its time to go back to stage 1 in about five years after two full terms of coaching served by two separate coaches who were so skata that the club were never going to renew their contracts or increase their tenure and repeat the process over again. Continue all this for at least 25 years as a minimum and only make the finals once or twice as a token gesture in between to break up the fun or monotony depending on the fragility of your state of mind. Furthermore factions within the supporter group emerge and the club is looking more disjointed and fragmented with each passing year. Enjoy Rohan Enjoy. You have been a journalist all your life to become what a male Bomber version of the bitter twisted and degenerate writing that Caro produces in regards to the Tigers. Oh Rohan would you like to see the psychaitrist now or in 25 years?

Bombers with the first 5 goals of the game and up 59-15 at half-time against Geelong :gobdrop.
-
Add the Dogs to the woeful bottom sides this year. I know they played in the wet last week but to kick just 4 behinds in a half at Etihad :o.
By the way, another win to the Pies against a bottom side but the media pump them up while bagging us and our "soft" draw ::).
-
really need the giants to win to burst the cheats momentum.
with no jack next week due to 2 concussions in as many weeks its going to be a really tough game.
-
Would love nothing better than us bursting their bubble next Saturday night :thumbsup. Geelong and GWS didn't apply any tackling pressure on their mids and HBs so the Bombers were allowed time and space to move the ball. Win on the inside and kill their stoppage game and they fall to pieces across the park as we saw last year and earlier this year. There's a reason why they haven't won a final in 15 years. Opposition pressure and tackling = no more Essendon.
-
Eagles not having it all their own way. Hawks level with them at half-time at Docklands.
-
The Eagles beat the Hawks by 15.
The Dees are flogging the Crows in Alice Springs. Up by 47 in the 3rd qtr.
-
I like the look of the dees. Very balanced team.
Look a real finals threat.
Their jumper today is disgusting. :chuck
-
Are dees the real deal??
Not sure or if runningbon emotion think if tigers can do itbsoncan we...
Even if they win a flag I'll never recognise due to the handouts they recieved to be in their current position
-

Good thing about the Dees is when the pressure is on they are a shoe in to choke

Right now they look a threat. Viney being back is important to their midfield. The question mark on the Dees is going to be in September given their lack of any finals experience.
-
Looks like Dimma will be giving his mate Clarko a call during the week ;D. Still anybody's game but the Hawks have kept Port to just one goal since quarter time (almost two qtrs).
-
#lolport
-
Makes tonights game even more important. Next week will be an even bigger test against a Jack watts led juggernaut in port
-
:lol
It is amazing how many times clubs try topping up thinking they are close to a flag when they aren't. Port the latest.
-
Crows out of the top 8 after 3 losses in their past 4 games. The injuries are now starting to bite.
-
North put back in their box today :yep.
-
Geelong back in form..... :shh
-
But their win wasn't at the 'G ;).
Anyway, waiting for the media to pump up the Bombers again as finals contenders after beating a bottom side :whistle :yep.
-
Freeeee-yo way to go!! :clapping
-
ooh yes the dees, lets see how this premiership contender goes in yet another big game. :clapping
-
One those rarest of occassions when you actually want Collingwood to win.... :shh
-
Ha! Still in the top 2 :clapping #chokebourne :clapping
-
Yes and no. Would have also loved to keep that buffer from sides like pies and port
Nonetheless, it’s always a delight when you see these afl love childs lose.
I would be worried about facing pies in September as opposed to the boys from Hotham.
-
And one of the most boring rivalries in recent times continues to deliver.
1 stinking goal kicked in the first quarter.
I can only imagine what the "state of the game" fear mongers are gunna say about this one.
:rollin
-
The Swannies always give you a chance when they turn the game into a in-tight scrap. Goal-less across two quarters of footy yet they still got across the line.
The Eagles looked lost for other options up forward without Darling next to Kennedy. They easily won the hitouts, centre clearances and inside 50s yet were too predictable and entries were constantly picked off with just Kennedy as the main marking target.
-
Carlton :lol.

Only took the Blues until the 3rd qtr to kick their first goal :lol against Freo in Melbourne :lol after being 70 pts down at half-time :rollin.

TalkingCarlton forum in meltdown :lol.
What the @#$%&! am I watching? Fair dinkum, just hand in the keys. This club is irreparably broken
Deserve everything we get. Completely inept.
Shut the @#$%&! place down. We are an absolute embarrassment.
Left before half time. First time I have left a game that early in a very very long time. Why should I give a flying @#$%&! about this club, when it clear to me that most players don't.
I really believed what Bolton and Co were selling to us, but now I am not so sure.
I have been a member for 15 yrs and have not missed any games. I have sat through the losses and listened to other supporters of other clubs and media dig into us, but today is the final straw.
I need a break from all of this. I am sick of the disappointment and sick of the crap that comes out of Bolton's mouth every week, after a loss.
This is without doubt the lowest ebb for the CFC. Yes we have a heap out, but this is Freo in Melb ffs. Our skills are even at a lower level than our confidence or game plan for that matter. There is no one running in support, no one flying the flag, no spirit at all.
Dwayno is loving this but I don't blame the guy for heaping crap on this team. This folks is the darkest hour in our history.
This is starting to resemble Neeld's coaching tenure at Melbourne
Bad signs
"Starting"
Its worse
We used to always have 1 whipping boy...
Today we have a whipping team
we've had a million top draft picks, turned over a million players, turned over coaching staff, admin staff....
I'm at a loss
I actually want to cry... this is so painful
Couldnt convince my son to stay and watch either.. he said this is garbage and wants to know when Richmond are playing
@#$%&! Richmond !!

Saints 4 goals down already against the Suns.
On track to possibly have two coaches sacked in the same week if their respective clubs say enough is enough.
-
Why doesn’t Bolton receive the same scrutiny as anyone else? Because he’s a teacher and a good bloke or something? I thought they were rock bottom when he took over but he has somehow managed to make them go even further backwards. He keeps trotting out the learning line but other building teams have shown more in three seasons. Their recruiting has been pox too. A few guns and a whole lot of potatoes.
Could say something similar about St Kilda. Even more scathing would be they don’t have a single player to build a future around. At least Carlton have Cripps. Saints have peanuts. They don’t even have an identity. Should they fold tomorrow nobody would bat and eyelid.

If Essendon keep going this is an amazing bye week LOL

Even the usual generous free kick charity from the umps ::) couldn't help the Eagles tonight.

That really adds some extra spice to the Swans game.

Bitterly torn between seeing the Weagles brought back to ground with that poohouse performance and the Bummers getting a huge win.
I guess that's good for us. :huh
-
Melbourne ..... cough cough cough in another big game. 20 points up late in the 3rd and then goal less in the last quarter :lol.
-
Good result for us with the dons. It will be nice if the baggas actually start winning starting against the pies
Of course we all know this won’t happen and the pies will be in 4th spot come Sunday night :banghead
-
Nice.

Dogs on the choke chain tonight.... handed that one to stuffing North...someone tag that unfunny wanker Will Anderson on twitter with #bulldogsy :shh

Dogs on the choke chain tonight.... handed that one to stuffing North
The umps sure helped North in that last quarter.
The crucial play was Mitch Wallis (who was actually good overall tonight) 60m out kicking the ball OOTF with 45 secs to go. He had a teammate 10m forward of him to handball to and Gower on the lead to the pocket. Even a pulled kick in front of Gower would've been a throw-in deep forward pocket. Just dumb footy.

Right call, incredibly poor execution. Just kick it into thya space, give the bloke on the lead a chance, if not it goes outta bounds and you get to lock it down.

Yep. He overcooked the kick going high with the pass. Needed to play safe and keep the pass low or pull the kick short.

Pies fans on the radio thinking they're a premiership chance after just getting over the wooden spooners who have won only one game all season, lost 3 big men today and were two down on the bench after half-time :wallywink.

love it, let them keep being pumped up by the media, their fans are already drinking their own bathwater.

-
The Swans challenge to us in top spot looks to have quickly ran out of puff. Not only two straight losses but they are now struggling to score. Just 12 shots against us and only 14 tonight. They were lucky to avoid thumpings by kicking unbelievably accurately against us (11.1 to 14.9) and that Geelong couldn't kick straight tonight (9.5 to 8.23).
If results this weekend go our way (i.e. us winning and Collingwood & Eagles both losing) then we could end up 2 games clear of 3rd and cement a top 2 spot.

Well that puts a dent in Essendon's premiership chances :rollin.
When the “second best team in the comp” stumbles over the line against the 12th best....
& 12th best who were down one of the bench for most of the game.
Some charitable umpiring as well for the Pies to get them over the line which isn't surprising given they are top of the free kick differential ladder ::).
Terrible standard game skill wise by the way. Turnovers galore by both sides which is why the scoring was so low. If the Pies dish that up in Round 19 we'll win by 10+ goals.
-
If that’s the challenger then bring it on.
-
The Eagles at home have knocked off GWS 86-75.
So the Giants are back outside the 8 and if we beat them next week we'll pretty much end their finals chances.

Geelong dominated the clearances tonight yet still lost. Exposed as pretenders once again :yep.

Lions knock off the Hawks again; this time down in Tassie. Not sure of their draw but Brisbane could prove to be a slippery banana skin for other sides vying for the finals.

Geelong should be heavily sanctioned. There supporters engaging in bashings and violence at the ground in Geelong is not on
and its not the first time. Geelong must be punished and not just a monetary fine, its time to implement European football punishments,
Geelong should be forced to play their next home game in Geelong behind closed doors - no crowd. Its a disgrace of a place Geelong
and their shanty little stadium that doesn't even have dunnies, should be banned from hosting finals games too. Say no to Violence!

The video I saw was pretty tame, not sure if there was anything worse than a bit of push n shove.
Can’t stand the Cats but boy did I enjoy watching them reel in Melbourne. The Dees are us 2012-16.

Gutless act

David King spent most of his morning segment on SEN praising Gaffs character and giving it the whole “put yourself in Gaffs shoes” treatment. What little time I had for King just went out the door.
8 weeks for mine. Hall got 7 for a similar one 10 years ago.
Bugg got 6 for one that wasn’t as bad IMO.

If Melbourne poach him, the first training session with Brayshaw's brother will be interesting.... :shh

Andrew Gaff will learn his fate on Tuesday night after his crude punch on Fremantle youngster Andrew Brayshaw was referred directly to the AFL Tribunal.
Match Review Officer Michael Christian unsurprisingly graded the off-the-ball strike as intentional conduct with severe impact to the head, leading to the Tribunal hearing.
In a statement released on Monday, the Dockers also revealed that the 18-year-old will not be able to eat solid foods for a month as a result of the punch.

8 Weeks for Gaff!
Looks like he misses all of this year and a few on the sidelines for the Roos :rollin
-
With some people calling the 8 weeks a fair punishment and others calling for a longer timeout, PEDESTRIAN.TV asked reigning Brownlow medallist Dustin Martin what he makes of the whole debacle during an interview for our footy podcast, Balls Up.
It’s in the AFL’s hands, the Tribunal knows what they’re doing. He’s got 8 weeks, so he’s going to have to have a rest. I think obviously it was out of Andrew Gaff’s character, I don’t think he meant to hit him that badly in the face. He’s very sorry, hopefully everyone can move on. And hopefully [Brayshaw] recovers well.

Hawks up 57 - 37 on the Cats late in the 3rd qtr :laugh:
St Kilda defender Nathan Brown has been sent straight to the Tribunal for his late hit on Adam Saad, which saw the Essendon speedster stretchered from the ground.Brown has been charged with rough conduct, with the bump categorised as intentional, high impact and high contact (to the head).

Interesting that it was sent straight there. I thought it was a good bump, just a fraction later than what's acceptable. Saad was completely not expecting it so wasn't braced and his body whiplashed which caused the concussion.
Thoroughly enjoyed hearing the Cats lose. Eat that Chris Scott you whining little turd.

Norf lol. 5 goals up at half-time and now 13 pts down 10 mins into the last. Go Dogs.
-
Norf lost :rollin
Got to love that shinboner spirit :lol.
-
The Melbourne choke is on.
-
Wow umps did everything they could to help Melbourne.
Gutsy win by the swans
Alir Alir is shaping up to be a solid player, I really liked his game today. A couple of errors but overall stood up when it counted.
Watching Melbourne lose is an amazing experience
-
Good times.....good times..... :clapping
-
I thought Melbourne's list was way ahead of ours....

The Demons are 0-7 against the top nine teams in the competition this season.

-
Lol, so they only play the top nine sides once each (I spoke they are technically a top 9 side at the moment and can’t play themselves...
... but our draw was soft as butter right?
-
Aren’t the Dees the only top 8 team Collingwood have beaten as well? Goes to show how much a soft draw goes towards inflating your ladder position.

Yep.
Collingwood 2018:
vs Top 9: 1 - 7
vs Bottom 9: 12 - 0
And they haven't played all the top 8 sides either yet. Play Port for the first time this year this weekend.

Kardinia Cats flat track bullies :shh
Umpires love Collingwood as much as they hate us :shh :shh
-
Our latest "biggest threat" Hawthorn nearly got rolled by St.Kilda...and probably should have been... :shh
-
Stupid West Coast... >:(
-
Don’t Norf want to play finals
-
Freo giving up like that after quarter time is a bit suss. Very convenient for them to lose by that much so their percentage fell below that of the Bulldogs and they move down a spot on the ladder and up a spot in the draft.
Don’t Norf want to play finals
Apparently not :snidegrin. So much for shinboner spirit :whistle.
-
Don’t Norf want to play finals
They couldn't even get Ben Brown a few cheap goals. :lol
-
Colliwobbles tanking to avoid another trip to Perth? :shh
-
Enjoy the return trip Filth..... :shh
-
2 sets of rules;
One for the Dees and one for every other team.
Absolutely appalling, pee off AFL.
-
Ninth Melbourne Kangaroos :yep. What a shame! :snidegrin
Remember Norf fans claiming they would beat us and pinch the flag after we beat them earlier in the year :lol. Ummm .... you've got to make the finals first :wallywink. Same goes for deluded Bomber fans.
-
Umpires absolutely slaughtering Geelong.....must think they're us..... :shh
-
AFL will do everything they can to help Melbourne win it.
They're also a very good team, way to good for Geelong so far.
-
Has the cat man started crying yet?
-
They've showed him once so far - was looking very glum....
Geelong are slow.....Melbourne look like their throats are starting get a bit tight though.....really should be 8 goals up....bit reminiscient of us at the same point in the 2013 EF.....and Geelong have more than just Judd..... :shh
-
What do you reckon Chris Scott will say in his press conference?
“It’s a shame we lost because we reckon Richmond are beatable”. :rollin
-
Storm up by 1 point at 79 min mark
-
Geelong's record in finals since 2012 is 3-9 :lol.
Dangerfield, Ablett & Duncan had shockers tonight by foot. Turnover merchants in finals :yep. Dangerfield has to be the most overrated footballer. Goes missing in finals both with Adelaide and Geelong :yep.
What's Bruce on tonight by the way?
"Geelong has been the best last quarter team all year." ... yeah right, Bruce :lol.
"Melbourne can win the flag." ..... why because they beat an overrated ageing top up Geelong team that went backwards this year and just scraped into 8th spot :lol.
-
Duncan played the worst 10 minutes of football I've ever seen from an individual.....and I watched JON nearly every week at Coburg... :shh
....Geelong basically out-choked Melbourne....there were times in that second half they were dominating them and if they'd kicked just one or two more around the time Hawkins had his shot from 20 m in front taken off him, reckon Melbourne would've fallen in a heap..... :shh :shh
-
Sometimes a win against a nemesis can take the monkey of the back and give you a lot of belief a bit like us last year, once we beat Geelong the shackles were off and there was no stopping us.
-
Melbourne supporters are a special bunch.
-
Melbourne were what, 5 goals to 3/4 time against a putrid side? I thought whoever won would have a free swing against the Hawks next week but they had a much better first half half than anything ether of these teams showed for the entire game. Dees were outscored for the last three quarters and Geelong are garbage.
-

EXcept we hadn't beaten Geelong since 2006 and they'd been flogging us for 35 years...Melbourne have beaten them a few times in recent years , even down at Kardinia Park.... :shh

Once from their past 17 meetings.
I agree with Tigiritis, they’ll take a lot of momentum from tonight.
They’re the next fairytale so the AFL will be frothing over it. Plus they actually play very good football when they get out of their own heads.
-
Bet you couldn't wait to look that up..... :shh
Reckon Hawthorn will outwit them ..... :shh :shh

Knew it going into the clash as it had been splashed everywhere in the media.
Could definitely see the Hawks winning it, you miss my point so I’ll repeat it for the 4th time in 18 hours.
Melbourne’s best is better than all of the other contenders and therefore should be a concern IMO.

- No you didn't. :shh
- Not here you haven't. :shh :shh

Sydney has kicked just 2 goals in 3 quarters of footy on a fine day. Buddy has had just one shot for a point.
GWS 53 Syd 18
Unless there's some crazy massive choke by GWS in the last quarter then it's bye-bye Swannies.

The Buddy investment thing is shot, Swans need to invest in youth or will be also rans for years to come

GWS clearly the better side but anyone else wondering wtf is up with Toby Greene throwing kicks when taking a mark. Surely that's not acceptable?

Colliwobbles are backkkkk! ;D

Greene was fined previously for raising his foot studs up like that into Dahlhaus' face. While you're allowed to protect yourself in a marking contest, it's simply dangerous play to raise your leg and foot out so early before the ball has arrived especially with your studs up. It shouldn't be allowed.

Surely it's a kick (karate style) and as such a free should be payed the other way! Problem solved.

Toby Greene has escaped without punishment for his unusual 'fly-kick' marks during Saturday evening's elimination final victory over Sydney.
Greene's marking style has attracted much debate, with the controversial Giants forward making contact with both Aliir Aliir and Nic Newman in the chest with his outstretched foot.
But he wasn't penalised by Match Review Officer Michael Christian for the pair of awkward incidents and will be free to play Collingwood in this weekend's semi-final.
Although Christian did say the incident with Newman should have been a free kick against Greene.

Well the Dees have started well :-\
Should have chosen Buller

Dees not use to the warm conditions :lol.
Some of their fans drove all way across the Nullabor to be there. The trip home on the train after a bad loss is bad enough. Imagine two days on the road, your team doesn't turn up to end your season, then another two days on the road back lol.
-
There’s a bit of Rich v Port in ‘14 about this one.
But ours was a much shorter drive home - hehe!

Well this is a nice little pick- me-up....cheers Dees.... :clapping

Today is difficult. I blame Conca for everything
