Hooker point: 102.71%

Thanks....sorry can't press the like button for that...!

Actually most Pies win outcomes should boost their % enough to knock the Bummers back out.  Obviously I'd prefer an MFC win and neither of them in the 8 though!

Well guys, just think about how nice it will be to knock them out of the finals.....

Gee port that was disgraceful. Looking at the way the bummers started I cant believe we beat them. Daniher not kicking straight helped us. But Port are playing for top 4 and had some good wins. Hinkley would be seething. 

the bummers are currently sitting 6th.

Interesting to see what crowd they will get at the G today. Especially with Hodge out. Shame on you hawthorn fans for dropping off because you are now losing and havent had a great season. This club has given you great success in the past 10 years with the premierships they have won. Try going to watch your team play that havent played finals in 10 years and sit there and just hope they compete and you are hoping they dont get beaten by more than 80. Thats what it was like a few seasons ago at our lean time. 

So your team is losing just go with it, they will bounce back. 

anyway on another note I hope Port smash the bummers tonight. Please Port beat them. 

Isn't it the start of the snow season, perhaps all the hawks supporters have gone skiiing, downhill by the looks of it.

He's kicked 21.2 since that 1.6 shocker against us. Makes a change us not getting shafted by a player on the improve.

Yep there is luck in footy. Would Rioli, Burchall, Hodge, Bruest, Stratton and Frawley out  like today have seen us make up the 2 points we lost by, or Sandilands out have made up the 2 point loss to the Dockers.

There is always luck in footy.

We have played most sides at close to their best and at the same time with us missing some of our most important players, Max and Jesse for starters. 

I think we would have lost against GC had little Gaz being playing. The margin at half time would have been more than 30 points. Bit of luck there.

I want the lions to win but then think its disgraceful they can beat freo on there home ground and yet we cant. 

Then I look at today and think gc beat the Hawks away. We beat the gc yet couldnt beat the hawks. So frustrating. 

And yet we beat top of the table Adelaide.

A very unpredictable and frustrating  season.

One of the most comprehensive wins from start to finish of the season. Player speed, distance of kicks, attack on ball and linking of play consistent throughout the game, remarkable right to the end.Fitness of big players quite noticeable, particularly at the end of quarters.What a performance.

When you watch these other games you start to realise how much ground we have made up in the past 24 months. Our best footy is up there with some of the better sides.

Port are not the juggernaut their percentage suggests.

I've seen this mentioned a few times.

Let me correct it....Our best footy is up with any team this year, get Max & Hoges back and we are as good a chance as anyone.

This is a very open season and at the moment there are no standouts.

27,000 at the Hawks v Suns game today...that Hawthorn Family drops off pretty quickly with a few losses.

Clarko reduced to sooking about the umps - worse than Scott bros. It's gonna be sweet schadenfreude for years.

Presume you're talking about Bombers. What a moving story, of triumph over adversity, the whole world against them, ASADA, Caro. What heroes. And didn't they deserve that No. 1 draft pick? 

 

Make me sick, that lot.

Re: Essendon as one individual entity, vs 'Essendon' with culturally corrupt personnel - at what stage do people draw a line of demarcation and move on?

We don't slag  Melbourne as a club per sè when we were shite - we are marginally more sophisticated and nuanced and we hang Cuddles, Neeld, Schwab, Lyon et al. instead.

It aint the club - it's the individuals.

Really, that's great from the Coach of one of the best umpire treated teams of the last decade.

I'll move on when they admit they're anything other than victims.

 

It wasn't the drug taking that annoyed me - I presume that was the work of their mad semi-scientist - as much as the club's consistent refusal to acknowledge that they'd done anything wrong, their efforts to blame everybody else, their burial of the evidence. The evidence! I always come back to that. They must have it somewhere - can't believe anybody would give hundreds of injections and not record what they were. I've always thought that Dank was so stupid, he just didn't know what was legal and what wasn't (as proved in the Baker/Mackenzie (forget which one:( ) interview. The injections were given by a registered nurse. Friends (and wives) of mine who are health professionals say the first thing you're taught is that you record every micro-millimetre of every substance you put into people's bodies.

For the superstitious or numerologists among us, there were three interesting results that would have been perfect except Port had to go and mess it up...

Crows 111 Saints 54

Lions 121 Dockers 64

Bummers 131 (see a pattern emerging?)   Port 61 (party poopers)

It is Essendon the club!  Look at what has happened since the drug saga:

  • made heroes of drug cheats,
  • got 10 top up players for the ousted drug cheats which other affected clubs were denied
  • they were allowed to keep top up players without using draft picks or trades,
  • were rewarded for cheating with the #1 draft pick (and top picks in subsequent rounds and rookie draft),
  • have nauseating pre-game 'events' (walk from the G, Hird Academy kids, etc),
  • in cohort with the AFL have silenced journo's who dare whisper a negative Ess comment;
  • lobbied for and gifted 10 prime time FTA games, 
  • lobbied for and gifted umpteen home games at the G vs big Vic clubs to further fill their $ coffers.

Move on? Yep, have moved on from the drug saga. Players did their time.

But the club screwed up big time and the list above shows how much they have been rewarded for - that is what sticks in my craw!
