Lever is so bad one on one

Poor Tmac is giving his all.

That kind of deal at that money is reminiscent to Rory Lobb , Kurt Tippet type deals to me . Wouldn't tryst waterman to play at this level for many of those years

Clearly going through for a goal

Patty Cripps tackled 360 drops the ball play on as usual

Defence a rabble how 4 goals over the back this qtr

Agree very good player one of the best users of the ball and footy smarts going

You actually do they are the ones that are soft and gooey inside and melt in the slightest amount of heat

Then onto the Chris Scott presser. I'll sleep well after that

That's a sweet result. I'm in big trouble with the missus who is a bombers supporter but totally worth it

3 goals 3 frees, go bombers. Last one would've been a goal anyway but gees caddy Lloyd like diving

Weak team can't handle any physicality. They are just a nice skillful lot of players

I'd be ok with Salem and a future 3rd ( maybe 2nd) round pick. Love salo but hasn't been anywhere near it since 21 and IMHO is just hanging on at AFL level based on previous performance not current

Essendon losing tonight and falling out of the 8 by the end of the round would bring me great joy! If this happens and we somehow get the job done against Freo it would be the most satisfying weekend since '21

Sounds like a shtty flight back to Freo after the Hawthorn game, advantage Melbourne :-) https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/glaring-neglect-national-jet-express-staff-forced-to-scoop-toilet-waste-manually-on-flight-carrying-freemantle-dockers-afl-players/news-story/874e4a0f0e5f46d102062a02055ad832

'94 was exciting as we outperformed expectation, that final against Carlton was one of my favourite games ever just demolished them as an underdog. Other posters are right 95 was cursed. But for me 1998 was the flag that got away due to the worst finals format ever that punished us and was never seen again.

So have I got this right, the dogs got jamarah so they changed the rules which meant we missed Mac Andrew and now are going to change it back?

I'm sure you will cover off all the many positives of our youngsters who are leading the way in the last few weeks but can you talk to some of the negatives in particular of a couple of players who have not got going this year. Tom Sparrow - what is his role I genuinely don't know 12-13 possessions each week , I barely notice him in game and when I do it's because he is slow to move the ball. Christian Salem - just seems to be only, receiving a non threatening pass, then proceed to kick a non threataning pass to a player player 20m metres away , been down massively since the highs of 2021 Jake Bowey - I know he has ben injured but has been a liability in defence at times with his size, and his kicking has not been a weapon this year. I guess they stay in due to not really having anyone ready to go showing good form @ Casey. What do you guys think? of their game / years and who can come in??

And all have that mongrel in them love it , really showed up the nice , neat Essendon players that just didn't have the same in them

Agree amw was great in every contest. Bowey , Salem or sparrow should have been subbed

Great win, loved the effort, who cares about the last 5 mins. I am concerned about sparrow, bowser and Salem very ordinary and liabilities

Love them but gees , Salem, Bowey and sparrow are not up to the speed or have offered anything positive for weeks now

Playing angry with intent, no soft players or there today, unlike Essendon

Collingwood lost and we move up a spot on the ladder. Good result
