First set shot at goal I’ve ever seen Amartey kick through the goals.

Looks like Cripps has some big padding around the ribs on one side - is that normal for him?

That’s where he stores the brown paper bags.

I can’t wait to lose to this [censored] mob next week. Nothing better than going from one bunch of meth head inbred fans to the next. 

Who is this post for? Is it venting? Do you think we care? Do you want to be proven right? Is it a way to hedge against the worst possible result. Would honestly love to know.

[Garbo 1,539]

Blues getting a bruise free game, compared to us last night. Going to be much fresher than us next week

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

Straight sets coming up again for us.

[brendan 3,437]

Blues have a dees 2018 look about them should get through to prelim before the lions give them a hiding, can actually see it all panning out like 2018 where the pies lose to an interstate club in the granny

Because we're bad or because the oppo are good?

We are in big trouble. Straight sets again. I don’t think I could feel any more depressed right now.

Both. Doesn’t matter how fired up we come out next week. We’re unable to kick a winning score.

Sydney are like us. Can't kick straight and letting the opposition score easily 

[Chook 15,013]

Please everyone cool it with the straight sets nonsense. It may happen but there's no point whinging about it based on two sides playing a game that doesn't involve us. You're just doing your own heads in.

They were talking on the radio today about a Collingwood/ Carlton grand final. Ugh

[Bates Mate 4,500]

Carlton hasn't been that good. The intensity is way lower than our game last night. Those talking definate straight sets need to chill out.

It’s just me commentating on the quality of opposition fans we are going to have to endure two weeks running. 
Fun times.

90k plus?

A lot of blues ‘fans’ must have needed directions to the G after not turning up for the last 15 years

Umm, the Blues do play home games at the MCG 😊

Yep watch them rest their prime movers if this keeps going the way it is

We’ve not cracked over 87 points in the last 3 weeks and that was with Melksham. And Roo. And neither are playing next week. 
God help us if there is so much as one drop of rain or a slight breeze next Friday. You think Pies defended well, wait until we try to get 80 inside 50s against Carlton for 2 behinds.

And here comes the rain.

Footy really sucks this year.

Triple M, 7 and AFL HQ are all gagging for it.

With our luck, Clarry will get sunburnt and subbed off 3 minutes into the game.

I think we are going to play the most contested, combative, ugly brand of footy next week.

We will be angry. I like us when we are angry.

Roo is tiring anyway and IMO is barely best 22. Melksham is a big out but is only good for 1-2 goals per game. 

I don't care who you put in our forward line anyway. Forwards kick the goals but they don't create them.
