2008 Non-Richmond games

You said the Bombers were "'Brilliant"not me? Or arent you MT anymore ?

I was being sarcastic given you have dismissed our win so easily. It was you who have said our game was a poor standard whereas the game at the dome was "one of the quickest games you would see". Did you miss North missing targets and moving like snails today lol. You can only play the opposition before you and both sides ran over the top of their respective ones. Essendon were good today after falling behind 27 points but so was Richmond's on Thursday night after falling 4 goals down. I'm not the one rubbishing a winner over the weekend that kicked 12 of the last 14 goals in the game  .    

its called the "SYBIL" complex.

You have to admit, the way they played today was good..
Fast, play on style etc Alot like Knighta played himself

dont remember those tiger sides been fast at all.
one game doesnt make a season.
just as our win does for us.

Good old fashioned head over the ball footy tonight in the Brissy Pies game. Huge momentum swings too. Goldsack is one lucky boy if his knee is okay.

Cough Cough Cough Collingwood

The Dees look like they've got the wooden spoon sewn up already. That club is in serious trouble. No one there seems to care.

Wonder if Knighter will be on Footy Classified tonight with the same fanfare he was on lastweek.

It really was a poor round of footy result wise

Outside the Lions (2 pts) and the Hawks (15 pts) no really close games.

Struth we were involved in the 4th closest game at 41 points

2 near 100 point thumpings.... long season ahead for the Dees....

Unbelievable turnaround in the Doggies-Saints game tonight. After being 6 goals down at quarter time the doggies then kicked 18 goals to 6  . The Bullies ran riot and really exposed the slow St Kilda mids and lack of crumbers.

gee the Bulldogs were down & out at 1/4 time were 37pts down at one stage & then after the 2nd quarter started it was a pure awesome display of fast football & Bulldogs smashed the Saints all over the ground it was all one sided

teams better beware of the Western Bulldogs they are unpredictable
l picked them tonight to win by 4 points tonight but the won by about 6 goals
some great young players in that side & Johnson never scored 1 goal & they kicked a big score
there 3-0 & play us in 2 weeks at the dome l think there way to fast & back each other up & are real hard
what everyone think of that performance from them tonight

[Hellenic Tiger]

They looked awesome tonight. The last 3 quarters were are total opposite to the way the first panned out, but yes they looked quick and very skillfull. Have Essendon Us and the Eagles at the Dome next 3 weeks so they may be 6-0 and really flying, although I can't see anyone heading the Cats at this early stage of the year.

Murphy is an absolute gun. The game changed when he was moved to basically a mobile CHF in the second quarter. That allowed the dogs to straighten up with the resting ruckman closer to goal alongside leading midsized forwards Johnson and Welsh. Their midfielders fitness to keep up that hard running and fierce tackling and attack on the 50/50 ball for the whole game was incredible. Just to goes to show how the massive number of interchanges occurring now is impacting on modern footy. I thought Aker had his best game in dogs colours and it was Minson's best game in a couple of years. Cooney and Griffen (after halftime) were too classy for the Saints. Lyon was crazy not paying young Josh Hill any respect and allowing him to just run around by himself for most of the night.

As much as I hate both Essendon and Carlton I really enjoyed the game last night. The back and forth, high scoring, the skills (at times) and everybody had a crack. It was just a good game of footy to watch. Only downside is the rules and the way they are interpruted nowdays, some of that is just mind blowing.

Anybody else enjoy the game?
