I don't know why, but I don't hate the Bombers any more.

I loathed them a decade ago, but now my hatred is directed squarely at Carlton - Mitch Robinson in particular, a lethal combination of ignorance and arrogance rolled into an ugly human phenotype.

I thought the Bombers deserved to win last night. That said, I'm thoroughly ambivalent about the result though.

I also wasn't absolutely convinced that Dempsey shouldn't have been able to have a set shot following the siren.

Very, disappointing; maintain the rage, don 't you remember the 2000 Grand Final and the Essendon 'enforcers' garrotting Brad Green and The Snake? Personally, I hope Essendon are at the beginning of the mid-season fade out and prove yet again that they have gotten ahead of themselves. PS I don't like Carlton either.

not too sure if the second adjective before the last noun is accurate. maybe if you added the prefix sub- it would be a better fit

I stand corrected - you're right.

Having read some articles this morning, it seems there's absolutely no controversy about the Dempsey decision, so I stand corrected there too.

After the 2000 Grand Final, I hated Essendon so much I was considering undertaking terrorist attacks on all things red and black. I don't think Hird even acknowledged the Dees in his post match acceptance speech - all he said was how great the Dons were.

Having said that, the rage has definitely diminished. Perhaps it is only a sickening loss away from coming back.

2005 EF not sickening enough? My family taught me to hate Collingwood but that's subsided over the years, I've learned to hate Essadon (sic) all on my own.

But finished with 3, or is it 5 premiership medals?

Brereton was an infinitely better player than Hurley, I was just raising the issue based on the style of play they share albeit Brereton did it better and could actually kick.

RB, go read Bomberblitz when they're up and about and see the dismissive disdain they have sides like Melbourne, along with the arrogant sense of entitlement. Not a small number of them actually think we don't deserve to be in the competition.

Maintain the hate!

Great comeback! ...all for nothin'.

Ha.

Hurley is Cowboy Neale without the bow legs.

I find it more satisfying to imagine that he didn't play on, and that the bombers were robbed.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
