Essendon 28-15 free kicks

Anyone know a shaman?

Um who would channel 7 rather have in finals? Team from perth? Another lowly supported melbourne team #justsaying

Sure, but the umpires should have told us that they were going to be looking at it, saints knew and we didnt.

Its worse than that as the saints complained and obviously we weren't told they would crack down but the saints WOULD Have known. Therefore they could have changed tactics accordingly.... Its almost akin to match fixing.

The one against hogan sure was. It wasnt even a mark.

Still dont know how jordan lewis didnt get a free for his tackle at the end of the 2nd q on the half forward flank

Some shockers today again. I actually think the entire rule book needs to be re-written.

Literally their last behind of the match

A gws v swans gf would rate its socks off in sydney... No doubt this thought gives the head honchos at afl office raging boners

Not as bad as the time we had 2 to 23 frees in Perth at half time

Do NOT want to play the swans in September.

Maxy gave away 5 free kicks today. Ive still got no idea what at least 4 were for. Seems he wasnt so happy either; Abc sport tweet

I thought this was gonna be about celebrations! Im 34 now, so when we win the flag ill probably be weeks from death from old age at 98

I dunno if we are doing it or not BUT the game is all about winning finals so it wouldnt surprise me if we are doing it now as a kinda trial to make sure we get it cherry ripe for an actual flag tilt down the road.

So jobe has retired. Out of love with the game. Reckons it feels like "his partner cheated on him"

Frustrating part for me is losses to north, freo and hawks who we all should have beaten would have us entrenched in the top 4, fighting for top 2. Instead we are 10th. Must win games against lower opposition next year.

Am i annoyed we lost yesterday? No. Am i annoyed we lost to north the week before? Yes. Am i annoyed we didnt have a crack yesterday? Yes. Will i be furious if we dont have a crack v the saints? You bet

I have this horrible feeling they are going to make us look extremely 2nd rate.

Article Ive just been reading this article about the melbourne storm and it got me thinking. Clearly the storm are the most mentally tough group in their comp. Id argue that weve perennially been one of the weakest mentally in ours - and losses to the likes of northx2, freo and a essendons reserves last year are a testiment to that. Especially given we share a training base we should be picking their brains as much as possible!!!

Agreed. Stupid stupid idea

This is a good post ash. I think what we would like to see from those involved is a bit of admittance that they actually did do something wrong - and the same from those one eyed fans who still think they were all innocent and it was an afl/asada/wada conspiracy... and thats what irks, is that we havent had any of that apart from the odd rational bomber like yourself.

Here's how the conversation goes. TW: what did you give to my son? SD, hirdy et al: this stuff TW: holy [censored] we are so [censored], my son is ok but the club is [censored] if this gets out, ill deflect everything

Watson, instead of finding out just what the hell was injected into his son, HIS SON(!) Defended the club and said everything was fine. Which means either A) hes the biggest idiot of all time Or B) they have records/knew what they took/knew what they were doing the whole time (which one doesnt matter as they are the same really) He never seemed like the total idiot type

Hows charlie dixons form tackling jetta high and then giving it to him while he was on the ground? What a [censored] Jetta is a legend
