Around the League Round Five

Ess look terrible, 40 points down 5 mins to go in the first.

[whatwhat say what 23,106]

We better not be the only side to lose to the Bombers in 2016.

[Chook 15,022]

Wow Essendon are terrible. If we miss the 8 by a game, I will be so [censored] off.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Young Mason cox looks much better than i expected, having a real crack.

[olisik 4,060]

Hoping for a bigger then 186 loss

[DSP 1,488]

Pies making the Dons look like a EFL team, if that.

How in gods name did we lose to such a shite team.....

That's what happens when selectors choose O Mac over Dunn

Site Administrators

is there a possibility with the current software to put a 6 hour block on offending posters as soon as these weak ass, [censored] for tat defenses of fragile egos break out so that informative discussion of the topic at hand can be allowed to carry on unhindered. This garbage that's allowed to play out is a cancer to every discussion it invades. The rest of us aren't interested in watching these social misfits defending their little online kingdoms. We just want to talk football. 

Site admin, please look in to it. Freeze the offending posters for a few hours so by the time they can post again, the discussion has carried on beyond them.

I think this could be easily resolved by auto-correct.

When someone posts something that begins with "Shhheeeiiiiitttt" it auto-corrects the entire paragraph to "Jack Viney played a great game".

Err Omac didn't play that game..

[CBDees 3,167]

Just walked home from the Anzac Day clash with the pies leading the bombers by 12 goals at half time. I cannot believe that we let this rabble beat us in Round 2!

[Jaded No More 68,974]

Losing against Essendon will cost us dearly this season. In such a tight competition, to lose to such a lowly rubbish team, is a sign that we don't really deserve to make finals yet. 

Will need to pull of another miracle win to make up for it.

Exactly right. We will need a 10 game winning streak at least to make up for it. Lotta teams play them twice...

[Adam The God 30,541]

Gee, Howe is a lazy footballer. That wouldn't be tolerated at Melbourne anymore. His effort and follow up on Gwilt then was pathetic.

We didn't turn up. If we played them next week we'd beat them easily.

Jeremy Howes second efforts are still non existent

and he's not nearly hard enough at the ball, he just wants soft kicks.

[Mazer Rackham 14,971]

Well, they did beat us and there's nothing we can do about it.

Except use it as a spur to continue our good form, especially if we see other teams whipping them.

As others have said, it could end up being a virtue that they beat us. Knocked out any false confidence and forced us to bring the right attitude every week.

Can never understand this line of thought.

Who's to say the loss to Essendon hasn't directly resulted in the last three performances? Clearly something has switched because our last three games have been consistently good.

We'll never know. It was a [censored] loss. But to hell with living in the past. 

It gave the entire group the lift they needed. 

[JimmyNP 174]

Collingwood players thinking they've won the grand final based on their celebrations after each goal.

Spare me. Rubbish football club and team. Won't win another flag in a long time...

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

If i were a pies supporter i'd be so annoyed with how they've gone to sleep here, they're going to turn what should have been a 120 point win into a 60 point win, and in a tight competition that's massive.
