As a gen xer I was lucky to get both of my shots. I’d love to go, but would give up my seat to my dad and uncle (as this will be his last grand final.) But I can’t see them going through with it after the lockdown was extended.

One more win and I can use 1956 😉

Stop the pies. Go the mosques

I hate admitting it but you’re right. Tbf he was very lucky to get one more year. It break my heart that this is his last chance and we do have a legitimate chance 😢

Still waiting for West Coast’s statement denouncing it. I’m tired of people using the excuse as “it’s too PC these days.” While I agree to an extent, this isn’t the case. It’s racism. I remember the old “stop the mosques, go the pies” banner. I hope it encouraged more people to hate Collingwood. I know it’s a unpopular opinion, but I don’t agree with all the abuse Goodes copped. Yes I don’t agree with what he did, but let’s not forget the father ALLOWED his daughter to say those racist things without stopping her. I think he was the real villain of that saga. Any of my nieces/nephews calling a person of colour an “ape” would likely be swiftly reprimanded by their parents.

We have not won this many games since 1958. We have been this high at the end of the season since 1964. This is our best season I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. This is our time

That was the most enjoyable game for me this year. No weak links. Never threatened. Just class all the way. A great game to take us into the west coast one. I know we won’t be able to play that dominately against top teams, but I do hope this brings up their confidence. Well done boys

Gee no need to be a [censored] about it

Drawing against the second bottom side? I am seriously concerned. I’m glad we’re still number 1 but we hardly deserve it. We seriously need to rearrange our game plan. Take this as a warning.

Yeah collingwood were eliminated fair and square in the finals twice during their “4-peat”, but unfair rules allowed them a second chance by the right to challenge. If this existed nowadays, Hawthorn could possibly have equalled it in 2016

Been away on vacation, so missed the last two games. Couldn’t believe we lost against GWS. Glad we came back against Port. I hope we win again. I’m getting used to being on top of the ladder

Did see the 88 one once. Can’t find it again. Was at Weg’s world a few years ago. His son-in-law told us if we won one ours will be the one we would have won if we’d won 4 in a row in 1958. Personally I thought the 88 one was the best I’ve ever seen. I must have been like Weg in 1998. I thought that was the year we were going to win it. Even more than 2000.

Sounds like a great read. I have to admit I still have my fingers crossed the title become redundant this year

I have not seen one shred of Evidence that Nicky Buckley supports us. Where did you get this from?

Did anybody read the match review from AFL.com? Who writes this rubbish? You wouldn’t even know there were two teams playing, it’s just Essendon, Essendon, Essendon.

Essendon were fantastic tonight. So tough to penetrate their forward line, but we got it done. Tough win. I hope this makes the club realise that wins aren’t going to just come. We have to work hard for them and we did. If we make the grand final, I hope the game is not like this. My dad’s heart can’t take it

Horrible. Outmarked, outkicked, outmatched. They went through us like we weren’t even there. Too many players holding the ball too long, weren’t doing our handballing game. And to lose to the filth. Just gutted. One thing we can take from this is at least we won’t play Collingwood in the finals. I just hope each loss bring us closer to a win

I’m hoping that win took a lot out of Collingwood and they’ll be unprepared for another tough slog

I think the last one produced was from 2000. We had Demon Attack (1994) and Hotter than hell (1998). It seems the only way they will produce them is if you win the premiership. Luckily there’s a few that have been uploaded on YouTube.

I don’t believe in “curses”, like like I don’t believe in leprechauns.

With the theme of #allfiredup I’m surprised no one has done a video of us to the Pat Benatar song. Anyone one old enough to remember it was used for the 1988 VFL season

Can you block someone here? I have a particular pest who has an issue with me (won’t name names) who I’d love to block

This year no, but look at as. I was even criticised for calling people out on those statements when I joined. Saying you’re Leaving the club because of a loss is emotions? Come on

Yeah but he’s basically giving opposition fans fuel to fire at us. I’ve had fans of opposition sides post this [censored] each time we lose on Facebook. If he wants to be a fool do it on his own time. He’s an embarrassment
