Well thanks a lot Essendon. Given Geelong a percentage of 191% 🤬

I'm enjoying the last 3 minutes.

Geelong should have won by a lot more. 38 scoring shots to 17.

What a miserable day for the bombers. I think it's the worst loss under rutten

I hate Geelong. Essendon were pathetic which I suppose is a good thing. Luckily I had a siesta during the 2nd and 3rd quarters.

Did Mick Malthouse really tip Essendon to win the flag?

what was the crowd, as a matter of interest?

-50 in contested is very bad

Who cares about percentage? We have to stop having a mindset of worrying about other teams. We need to win and keep winning and percentage will take care of itself.

Perfect result. Inflate the cats egos and the medias thoughts on their chances and just absolutely destroy the hype around Essendon. Spectacular work.

This exactly. Let all the hype be on Geelong. We have been forgotten in the Bevo/Morris controversy. Fine with me.

What's with these 50m penalties? Geelong player marks ball, Essendon player runs up towards the mark, looks at umpire and obviously gets the impression he went a yard too far so backs off and is pinged for not standing.  Not even clear if the umpire said stand.   Not sure it should be a penalty, let alone 50m.

Good luck to Paddy McCartin as he makes his comeback to the footy

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,964]

I thought they'd stopped playing games at that stadium? Something about the poor surface causing injuries I think.

Is the stand rule still a thing? I saw at least 4 times where Doggies players moved all over the place standing the mark without being pinged 50!

We seemed to do it every time!

Doggies are intentionally standing back from the mark so they can move around as a tactic this year apparently.

Well Sydney worry me. They are scary. 

[Jaded No More 68,976]

Already this game is 1000 times better than the Geelong Essendon game. Both these sides are better than Geelong. 

[BDA 23,048]

Decent game so far

[dees189227 12,517]

Ha just went on bomberblitz. 😂

[Maldonboy38 6,435]

Great game Swans v Giants. Feels like a final and it's round 1. Brutal tackling, uncompromising, top shelf skills. If I cold steal 2 players it would be Heeney and Tom Green. Love watching them play.

I just saw someone put on twitter obviously a cats fan is bringing up the drugs saga & an Essendon supporter wrote get over it. Sorry you will always hear about it.

I'm flicking between the world cup & the footy

I would have kicked them out of the AFL. Still laugh at their motto for that year. " What ever it takes" One of my nephews gave up following them.
