My brother is a Bomber, and he will now be insufferable for quite some time ......

But I really have to say that the lesser of two evils definitely came out on tops today.

Surely the knives are hanging looser and looser over the top of Malthouse's head?

Mmm.

I was hoping that they would figure out a way for both to lose but if it had to be only one then I can deal with todays result.

I would have preferred a draw.

Mmm.

I would have preferred a draw.

And then both miss the eight by half a game.

Still its always good to see a knife plunged into the Pies.

One of lifes great pleasures is reading the Collingwood forums after they lose a close one! (Those god damn umpires, am i right?!?!?!111)

the best thing about collingwood essendon games...someone has to lose

in other games: Well done tigers for showing some heart. Real character to push out a win in these dark times

Good call. As much as we love to rag on them while they're down, it's a good win for them to get under the belt

Best thing about today was finding out Joffa put the jacket on when the filth was 17pts up. D'oh.

The Bombers have really aquitted themselves quite brilliantly this season after getting flogged by Port Adelaide at AAMI in round 1. They have had their share of injuries but have been very good in every game since that defeat and should have beaten North last week.

I think they have a lot of good players nearing the end of their career and probably still need another year with good draft picks because they won't be able to rebuild when Gold Coast comes into the competition so I guess that anyone who doesn't like them has one consolation that they're probably not going to get a priority draft pick or even an early pick this year.

Consistently getting 90,000+ to the game also speaks for itself.

Except this year there was 84,000 thousand...
