What's better than beating the pies by ten goals?

Beating them by a point!

I know I should see a psychologist but I wanted the local filth to beat the interstate filth. It would have put them 4 more points behind us. Grundy was shoved in the back.

Nothing went right for us this round. Port losing would have been very good. At least Sydney and West Coast did. 
It’s gonna be hard to catch the Dogs on percentage. To their credit they have that killer instinct and know how to destroy weak teams.

Yeah, a draw would have really helped last night just to stay clear

Percentage won't matter after we beat then next week and go 4 pts clear ?

Nup happy to see the pies lose especially by a point & what a low crowd. 

Do you know what's really annoying. Seeing Essendon kick big scores and dominating teams that are not going well. Something we can't do. Yeah we win but not until the final quarter. And when did we last kick a massive score. Also they have a wide spread of goal scorers

In saying that I'd rather be where we are on the ladder than them

I consider it a win win situation
A win for the pies does us a favor
They lose I still get to laugh at their predicament 
 

I just want to laugh at their predicament all the time. Doesn't matter now though, gotta worry about ours :s

Port, Richmond, Geelong, Brisbane and Sydney have all won games by a point or two...  meanwhile we lose a game by 1 point.

I’m trying to make the correlation here..

...and can’t.

they have also lost games by more than one point surprisingly enough.

So we've beaten three of these and haven't played the other two. ?

Nothing went right?
Sydney WC and Richmond lost!

i don’t care about being 1st and catching percentage of the dogs 

How did Holman get 2 weeks for that 100% legal and fine tackle???? He won a free kick FFS and there was only one motion.

Nothing went right...except for the things that went right like West Coast, Sydney and Richmond all losing.

Wait so now the measurement of success is winning games by 1 or 2 points?

Like, if we’d won every game by 10 goals, would that be a fail?

FFS what an immeasurably stupid thing to be upset about. 

Richmond quietly slipped out of the 8 this week...may they stay there!!
