Never thought I'd be saying "go poos and wees"  !!!

When you want other teams to win for us they generally lose. Yes I know plenty on here will post we should worry about ourselves and win our own games.

Gawn, May, Petracca, Oliver, Langdon, Brayshaw, Lever and Salem are probably our best and the 3 newbies all look good.

Agree with most of that, but not convinced on Kossi yet. Might be too early to tell. Interesting that only one of them is a forward and only a part time one at that.

Hopefully hawthorns 2nd round pick we get  has better foot skills 

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,787]

Those late 2 St Kilda goals were very costly.

The only way we’re playing finals is if we can chase down St Kilda’s percentage assuming they lose their last 2 games, and the Dogs lose tonight.

If we win all three games (however unlikely that is) we make it

We could possibly make it with 9 wins if the Saints have a couple of solid losses against quality sides and the Dogs lose tonight.

St Kilda are actually vulnerable given their tough run home.

Essendon got to the ground an hour before the game. 3.5 hour trip from the Goldy. Started like we did.

Seems like Frost saved his worst for this one.

Well we wont catch the Saints.  Its all about GWS now.

Still cant believe we lost to Sydney...

Well at least we can say we beat someone in the eight p2j

Cats are tearing the bummers a new one.  This could get ugly...

[chook fowler 19,447]

Essendon are putrid - They’ll kill us.

If Collingwood lose to Gold Coast, that would also leave the door ajar. Gold Coast are no easy beats this year, and I'm still not keen on Collingwood's form.

Watching Essendon is the perfect remedy for the blues I've got after Thursday's game. At least we aren't them is all I will say.

82-17, Geelong lead Essendon. Eat a bag druggies.

Good clubs don’t make excuses.

We continue to make excuses and remain a loser club.

Has anyone at the club said anything about the fixture or the flying into Cairns?

As far as I'm aware, no.

The only people mentioning it are supporters.

FWIW, we've had as hard a fixture as anyone this year. I heard someone previewing the Dogs-Eagles game tonight saying that the Dogs have a 4-3 record at Metricon this year. That's 7 games at the same venue - we haven't played more than 2 games at any venue all year. There is, in my view, no doubt at all that we've had to do it tougher than most in terms of moving around, acclimatising to conditions and ground sizes, and trying to get some sort of consistency to our "home" games.

None of that is enough to explain the Sydney performance, but it is a factor to consider when the season is said and done.

Damn. For a while they  were on track to win by almost a 186 equivalent   

[Diamond_Jim 12,551]

So mathematically let alone probability wise that's the end of the Bomber's season.

Assuming our final round is a dead rubber who would you pick ?

If its a dead rubber, us.  If we're alive and Essendon is dead, we all know the result ...

Round about now I would have a hammy if I were a bombers player. You could relax and enjoy the weather on the gold coast for the next couple of weeks.
