I was thinking this as well, unfortunately the goal umpire isnt going to pay anything against essendon in front of their cheer squad and then its hard to overturn the goal umpires call from there.

Unbelievably glad to know I'm not alone.

essendon fans make me ?? ?? ??

That's a classic Dave Misson two weeks if ever i've seen one.

hahah, very true.

One thing I took from that, Daisy Pearce is easily the best commentator out of that lot.

I totally know where you are coming from, I tip against the dees every week in footy tipping. It's the old win win situation, or at least, consolation. Just like you, I'd rather come last in my tipping comp if it means the dees winning all the time. It's pretty clear you bleed red and blue. who cares what others might say.

I knew this would happen, I just knew it. That was their grandfinal, and we didnt show up.

My thoughts exactly. Last year, everyone was potting Tomlinson, he was out of form and struggling to get a consistent game. At the start of the year, everyone was talking about how important he was to our defence. methinks BBB will be back in a big way next year.

Thats a good point, I can't say my memory of how effective his disposal was is very clear. A quick stats search reveals some interesting stuff. (all are averages from the afl website) Disposal efficiency: 69.3 (considered below average) Intercept marks: 2.4 (elite) Intercept possessions: 7.1 (elite) Spoils: 4.2 (elite) Contested one on one defence: 2.1 (elite) So yes, you're very much correct in saying that his disposal needs tidying up. But his defensive game all round puts forward a very compelling case that he could be more than just depth next year. Hopefully he gets a good run at it without injuries.

I'd be happy to stick with Marty Hore, that bloke played really well in what was a shocking 2019 side. Imagine how well he could play with this defence around him.

Intense flashbacks to round 23 2017.... send help, quickly.

Angus handled that well, he's great on the podcast and a very smooth operator in media interviews. Clarry will keep racking up brownlow votes and derm will keep eating meat pies and thats fine with me.

Trent Rivers has the composure and footy iq of a 200 game player. he was superb again tonight!

Commentary team barracking for Brisbane is really starting to annoy.

Umpires are literally playing for Brisbane

Umpires doing their finest

Certainly 'pudding' my allegiance out there

what about a slice of humble frittata ... ?

In my best BT impression, "Gee they could have used the Bont the tonight." Take a bow James Harmes, finally back to being the tagger he is meant to be!

Tex Walker is a [censored], and not because he kicked that goal. He snipes off the ball, dump tackles oliver's head into the ground, whinges to the umps constantly. I wish Steve would have given him the buddy treatment and put him in his place.

Umpires would be proud getting their team over the line. That missed holding the ball call and missed deliberate were disgraceful.

Absolutely beautiful, a complete work of art! (The jumper isn't bad either)
