For your sake i hope Katrina (the OP from the "The importance of keeping HUMBLE as supporters" thread) isn't around these parts WCW

I’m watching this match with eight Carlton psychos. It’s hard not to get swept up in the joy and hysteria.

Just quietly, it’s like they’ve won a GF (bless their delusional little hearts) 😁

Gee the goal umpires would have been a bit bored in the final term. Cannot believe a goal wasn't scored in the final term

Ahh bombers fans on bomberblitz are hilarious.

Really...then it was a great decision by me to switch off at 3Q time.

Seems like the only thing I missed was the Voss spray.

The Blues players look and sound very ‘meh’ singing the club song. 
 

not invested.

6 behinds scored in the final quarter by two teams is embarrassing for the AFL; Sevens ratings must’ve plummeted and their sponsors would’ve been [censored]!

They’re in the hunt as much as anyone IMO.

She’s a wide open field this year.

Regulation win to the Blues........

They're top 6 minimum

I remember growing up in the 80s and 90s and all the Bomber supporters who were all so smug. 

And right up until 2000 when yes, they had a truly outstanding team.  But oh how it warms the heart to know that since their 2004 elimination final win they've done Sweet. F. A. 

And it warms it even more knowing with this list they'll do nothing for another 5, probably 10 years.  Soft mids, skinny talls and overweight half forwards.  Its just so wonderful to watch.  The same list manager for 2 decades but yet in total denial its his fault. Lets hope they never sack him.

Up there with the Hawks, Filth & Norf for the most arrogant, entitled & arseholic bunch of supporters to have ever walked the planet (some exceptions but i can count them on two hands in half a century).  Crows not far behind.

Hopefully starting with QB this week, no mercy Demons!  Give 'em Hell!

Another adjective might be more appropriate thanks

That would be a 'verb' Wiz - what they called in primary school 'doing words' - but good point otherwise.

You know what, as I woke up this morning the one of the first thoughts that ran through my head was: “that was a verb you muppet not an adjective” 

Explains my poor English results!!!

Anyone reckon Sam Draper could be an amazing apprentice under Gawn?

Loved his ruck work, contest around the footy and his couple of snap goals. 205cm and 23 years old!

Also there midfield delivers it to them properly as opposed to ours at the moment who are just bombing the ball in

They also open the forward line so players run into space.

Of all the people Ess could have chosen as the 'hero' for the night they chose Hird.  Tim Watson, Wanganeen and Bomber have had more success.  And Bombers' misdemeanours were in his personnel life not the club.  Hird brought the club to its knees and now he is their 'hero'

A big Ess effort afoot to PR Hird back into favour.  As if that will heal all that is sick at that club. 

They need a complete clean out of players, staff and board members who were there for the drug saga, just as we did (with a few exceptions) to purge the memory of '186' and what followed. 

Instead they revert back to their painful history.  That they chose Hird shows how misguided they still are. 

Long may they wallow in the purgatory of their own making.

I remember a friend giving me a Matthew Lloyd birthday card with the message this is what a real Coleman medalist looks like. I remember in 2001 the supporters just thought the flag would happen. Nothing has made me more happier than seeing these flogs not win a final in decades. 

Then this supplements drama. The fans don't get it. I'm sick of hearing but there was nothing illegal taken. It was a disgrace that players were injected with supplements that they couldn't be told what was in them.

When Sheedy came out this week & said the AFL should apologise I thought you're kidding.

Are we sure they didn't know what was in the injections?

Jobe Watson freely admitted on 'On the Couch' (at the time) that most of the players agreed to, and were given over 100 injections to the stomach area

No questions from any of them? No records?

thankyou bailey smith, that should get the may / melksham 'scuffle' out of the spotlight for the time being...

Edited June 11, 20222 yr by whatwhat say what

Interesting reading all the loathing of Essendon: an attitude I endorse fully.

Any team that has prolonged success gets labelled as "arrogant, entitled etc.." just because they demonstrate a renewed senses of confidence.  Carlton 70's and 80's, Hawks in 3 eras, Geelong, North under Carey, Lions 01-03, Tigers now. To be honest it is a sort of arrogance and entitlement I hope to hold onto over the next 5 years.

But The Bombers are different. They won 1 premiership in an era they were supposed to dominate. When they failed in 1999 they refused to sing their own club song until they won in 2000, denying their supporters the joy of being part of the club's success. And since then they have been a self-indulgent, bland, joyless, mediocre bunch of grand standers whose arrogance hit the high point when injecting their players in secrecy. The fact they have not sacked their entire recruiting team shouts "hubris" very loudly to the AFL world.

The way the AFL applauded their violent thuggery to win the 2000 GF will keep the Bombers forever despised by me, even if at times there are certain players I like watching. I don't really want them to win wooden spoons - that is too easy. I want them believing in their own delusion and staying at position 10-16 for the next 50 years. 

Boy, that felt good to type!

I fell asleep on the couch with about 5 to go in the third quarter, woke up at the end, and not a single goal was kicked in between. Seems like my body just knew the right moment.

Stringer should probably be called the suspect package.
