Gws song sounds like some throwback Stalinstic propaganda track to me.

Whenever I hear the GWS song, I can't help but think of this bloke dancing.

Ok so as much as I'm not a fan of the cats I hope they thrash the bummers tomorrow night. I do not want them in the 8.I

Id be rapt to see Freo in there, so I hope they can beat Carlton and stkilda knock off the pies. 

I would only want Essendon to win to widen the gap between Cats and us, and the top 4, but as others have said a very dubious triple 50 meter penalty after the siren giving the Cats a one point win (or maybe a draw) would be schadenfreude.

I thought Essendon not having played at Kardinia Park for the past 28 years was a joke. But it’s not. Can someone explain why this is the case? And is it only Essendon who are in this position?

THIS

It really grinds my gears that the 'big' Victorian clubs have been protected from playing down there for years while we have to front up every year.  The argument about crowd size is void because barely anyone non-Geelong can get in down there.  Geelong gets an armchair ride and the big clubs get protected from playing at a ground where the home team have an obvious advantage.    

Imagine scheduling Richmond to play down there.  If Hardwick the germ can't handle Docklands his head would explode at the thought of the hour drive.

I put a lazy $100 on the Tigers. Not at all concerned about my investment.  GC will run out of steam.

In regards to the conversation about which Victorian clubs play down in Geelong and why, I think it has more to do with whether the game would attract a bigger crowd and financial return if it were moved away from Kardinia Park to the MCG. As a guess this might be 65,000 for example. It's probably why Carlton have started to play games down there again recently as their notional home ground at Docklands has a capacity not much bigger than KP (and where Geelong would still make less money even if it were at capacity) and they would need to draw at least 65,000 if it were played at the MCG to make it worth moving. 

I think if both us and the cats could regularly attract those sort of attendance numbers in our home games against them you'll start to see that we play down less often and some other schmuck will end up taking our place.

The only thing that would have made last night more enjoyable would have been Karmichael Hunt coming off the bench to kick the winner after the siren!

Honestly ground invaders should get $100,000 fine. Especially during Covid. What complete brain dead nuffies. 

They probably couldn't pay the fine.

I would lock them up at the remand centre for 14 days and give them time to think about it and thereby deter others.

Listening to Spotify Daily Mix 2.

Duran Duran do a ripping cover of Lay Lady Lay (Dylan song).

I suspect that the above comment is slightly off topic.

I know we’re supposed to want Geelong to lose tonight but there’s just simply no way I can barrack for Essendon.

They make me ?

Too good to go out like that.

Would be a shame.

I am going to take a wild guess that Jack Riewoldt was an Essendon supporter growing up, it’s the only explanation I can find why he sooks so much. Seriously there was an Essendon supporter on SEN today still complaining about the umpiring on the weekend.

I hate Geelong just as much. I’m only going for essendon to widen the gap between us and Geelong

[whatwhat say what 18,775]

totally cheering on the peptides tonight

cannot stand geelong

[Jaded No More 57,627]

I also hate Geelong above all other teams that ever existed. And it’s better for us if they lose tonight. Sadly it won’t happen. You only think Essendon are great because the media is telling you they’re great. But they’re not.
