Second week in a row I feel dirty after a game and need a shower.

Yeah but this time it’s Essendon so the shower needs to be twice as long and the temperature just short of scalding. And we should  burn the clothes we’re wearing for good measure. 

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Talk about feeling dirty I have to barrack for Carlton next week.

Now they are out of finals contention, I don't mind Essendon won today. It helped keep Brisbane off our tails.

Also makes Thursday night for annoying because we could have been 2 games clear of Brisbane to

[Swooper1987 3,215]

A great result.  Excellent work Bombers.  That will help us though only if we don't drop the next couple of games.  Must win the ones we are expected to and at least break 50-50 in the rest.  4 out of 6 will see us top 4.

[layzie 32,802]

We need to not lose a game for a while. Watching these games and hoping for certain results stinks.

[Lucifers Hero 38,974]

Not sure I'm so happy about the Lions losing as it is easier for Sydney to make top 4 as they have at least 4 very winnable games coming up.  Other than Geelong it is, on paper, the easiest run home.

I would rather play Lions in the QF than Sydney.

Not a fan of having losses to no 1,3, 5 and 6 either

Agree that whilst is hasn’t aged well, our defensive intent that night would’ve beaten every club.

Any danger Collingwood can lose a game anytime soon? At this rate they’re going to make the grand final. They just simply find a way to win regardless of whether the opposition is excellent or poor.

I’ll be happy just to make the final 4 first Luci, give our form and our draw

And hopefully playing a home final.

Sort of why I never bought into us being 'back' 100% 

[BDA 22,271]

West Coast have been pathetic so far

[The heart beats true 17,772]

Wow. The Eagles. Why bother showing up.

woeful. Almost quarter time and zero inside 50. 

edit: soz, that was their second inside 50. Barely though, blink and it’s back out again. Scoreless, too. 
There is a positive though: they have a player named Rhett Bazzo. That’s some name right there. 

You know a match is boring when you find amusement in players’ names. 😆

Top 2 still a chance, and will most likely go right down to the wire. Our percentage still very healthy.

I'm very confident.  Lots and lots of 8-pt games among top 9 teams to come.  And quite a few of top 8 games with teams that want to make a mark. 

We have a game and large % on 5th.  The % is almost worth another game.  Short of the wheels falling off and we win our fair share we are top 4.

Still a good chance for top 2, I reckon...

This is crap. If I wasn't already at the pub I'd be going there.

I know I’m supposed to be barracking for Essendon but I can’t. I tried but I just cannot do it. How would I sleep at night?

Warm in the belief that the Dons have given us a better chance of securing a better ladder position WCW. 

Now put ur Electric Blanket on, reread our Premiership Literature, AND....... Dont forget the nightcap WCW!!😇

It’s only 6pm. I’m not 90 years old.

HQ want everything decided in Round 23.

[Demonstone 21,760]

Still sticking with the "It's all rigged" narrative then, Clint?

[BDA 22,271]

Great player Josh Kennedy

Not rigged, but at least an element of manipulation 

[Demonstone 21,760]

Pray tell, what is the difference between rigged and manipulated?

Have always admired and respected him. Love the way he goes about his footy. Ever humble and a perfect role-model for kids (and adults as well).
