*  shoo-in  

Nooooooooo!!!!!

Proofreading is my thing!

It’s all I’m good at! (I’ve  actually never seen that word written.) But hey, couldn’t think of a nicer (and smarter) person to pull me up on an error. ?

Curious statement...

Can you demonstrate that that is an absolute fact?

Just so I am clear, from your perspective, if a team loses to a team lower on the ladder, then they have ultimately taken the other team for granted? 

That's the only contributing factor? 

If anything, I'd argue you're being dismissive of the rest of the teams in the competition and ultimately how close and nuanced the discrepancies are in performance that allow you to win.

 

Pardon me for sticking my nose in but I think JCB is saying we as supporters took it for granted that we’d beat the lowly sides. And if so, he’s right. We did think we were a shoo-in before the two losses.

Pretty sure stomping on anyone is a reportable offence.

Oh, they find a way. Dirty players always find a way.

Apologies to any vegetarian demons (and also slightly off topic) but this was too good not to share.

Looks like you’re unleashing your inner Tmac. ?

How do you target a foot ?

I didn’t ask the ne’er-do-well to elaborate but I guess he meant by treading on it. He actually said Todd Viney instead of Jack but of course I let that slide. 

Ok Dees Faithful, sh*t just got real. I know, sh*t’s been real for a while but now it’s next-level real. Boss-level real. A random in the street just sledged me, “we’re gonna [censored] youse tonight” etc. Then he says, “our boys know they have to target Viney’s foot at every opportunity.” ?

MUST. WIN. TONIGHT. 

❤️?❤️?❤️?

I've got some beef ribs going on the smoker so it's an early start for me. But if the kids stay asleep long enough I might have to see what Mrs Josh is up to first ???

Sounds like a way more interesting breakfast than what you had last week on game day ? 

More Daisy please. 

Shut up BT. Just shut up. 

BT: so, should the Tigers change anything to try to trim this margin?

Has there ever, since the dawning of mankind, been a dumber question asked, ever? ?

Well personally I would say Jason Bennett’s and Kelly Underwoods are far more annoying. 

How can you seriously say he’s annoying? How is he annoying? I know everyone’s entitled to their opinion but I’m just curious as to why someone would call him annoying in commentary.

It was great pleasure hearing Jason Bennett commentate last night.

 

Jason Bennett and Nigel Carmody are awesome in commentary. No BS whatsoever. 

God I’d love for Richmond to cop what Geelong copped last night. Just as with Geelong, Richmond needs to be slapped down a peg or two. 

Curious configuration of the crowd at this match. Small- to medium-sized clumps of ppl, then huge areas of no ppl. I wonder how they work this out.

You probably could if the word 'least' was in there?

Just noticed your question. And even if the word ‘least’ was in the sentence, the other two words would jump out at me first and by the time I saw ‘least’ even if it was only a nanosecond, it’d be too late. I would’ve already vomited in my mouth a little.

A reminder to all of the lucky ticket holders if you even the slightest sniffle or vague symptom on Saturday you need to stay home.

And if you do feel a bit off, even a tiny bit, i can help you out and take your seats to make sure we have good representation at the game. 

The slightest symptom, do the right thing for Victoria and stay home. And i'll volunteer to take the you seat to do the right thing for the Dees. 

I hear ya, fellah. Bitterly disappointed about not getting a ticket. What makes it sting worse is that it really should’ve/ could’ve been capped at even 50% ☹️

The Bombers are my 18th favourite AFL team and I'd hand back a couple wins for this one.

That said, there's pretty much nothing there that I disagree with.

Unlike your good self, I can’t bring myself to put ‘Essendon’ and ‘favourite’ in the same sentence. Nonetheless, you echo my sentiments. I would also give back a couple of wins (against [censored] sides) just to not only win this one, but to dole out a jolly good thrashing. ?

A nice Covid outbreak in Geelong only prior to round 23 would be handy ?

A “nice” covid outbreak ?

With regard to B. Brown, how long is it since he has had a game? I did read somewhere that he was having a mini 6 week pre-season as far as fitness goes. In My opinion, this is a good thing.

Give him a run or two at Casey and we have a chance to look at his form.

Would love to see a fit in form BBB in our forward 50.

He was only given three matches in which to prove himself. We were all still kicking the tyres when he was dropped. ?

Guthrie reminds me of Tim Minchin.

Same desperate need for a hairbrush. 

Lost. One plot. If found please return to Tom Stewart. ?

That Hipwood goal, though. 

Joe Daniher needs to stop trying to take mark of the year. 

Dirty, dirty team. Hopefully they don’t bother the scoreboard attendant any more than they are right now. ?

YAY! Jason Bennett is in commentary tonight! He’s my fave.
