Sir Why You Little

The next 2 weeks will depend on whether our Midfielders can find form…

improvement is not linear. Eagles have been putrid for 2.5 years but seem to have turned a corner recently. North will as well.

And no chance they get re-located.

The Eagles still have some experienced good players on their list. 
North have nothing like that. Totally different scenario

I really thought North would be more competitive this year given their drafting, Larkey etc.

Something is amiss perhaps

The smell of Death is around the corner….

They'll never do that simply because the AFL can't handle a bad news story.

Ten years or so ago they had the opportunity to lay down minimal solvency rules etc. for clubs to meet ten years later. The problem was GCS and GWS would have failed them.

Melbourne clearly has at least two teams too many as evidenced by the need of four teams including us to sell home games interstate.

Docklands with its roof closed policy due to TV coverage has become a dark hole for daytime football

Nah they'll admit the 19th team and then say supporters are clamoring for a 20th team so as to eliminate constant byes

North will be eliminated or fully relocated when they cannot sustain themselves. They are years away from improvement and that is amplified with The Map of Tassie coming in. 
The AFL won’t pay for North to survive, as there is no benefit 

They should have moved to The Gold Coast, when the opportunity was there. It’s too late now…

North must be relocated…

Seriously it is beyond a joke now 

I am in shock at this umpiring display 

Port have dropped at least 3 Simple Marks so far. Amazing

"They still own the MFC"?

What, because of their *checks notes* one consecutive win against us?

FFS, if that's an "owning" what the [censored] was what Hawthorn, Geelong and North Melbourne used to have over us?

(PS do we now "own" Richmond, having won five in a row?)

C’mon Titan, you can do better than that. 
that above comment is not worth responding to. We have had issues with Brisbane for a number of Seasons and you know it

I get the natural reaction to Brisbane's loss is the SWYL style "what an embarrassment".

Every year we get to a point where we get the "circle of parity", whereby you can say "A beat B, but B beat C, but C beat D" and get all the way back to where you started.

Last year Collingwood lost to Hawthorn a month before finals, Brisbane (2nd) lost to Hawthorn and also lost to Gold Coast (another bottom 4 side) a month before finals.

Yes, we lost to Brisbane, badly, but they love playing us, they would have steeled themselves for the game, and despite their poor start to the year the talent on their list is obvious. And that's before we get to the fixture lead-in to the game, whatever that was/wasn't worth.

It's frustrating, but not embarrassing.

I call it embarrassing. For 3 Seasons Brisvegas have steeled themselves to play us, and we were not prepared. 
Not even in the 3rd Quarter after the break did we change anything. 
4th Quarter Junk time saved some percentage. 
Brisbane are cooked, their big show was last year’s GF and they failed, but still they own The MFC….

I never called it an overreaction. I’m calling it a useless reaction.

Yes I did watch tonight’s game. Not sure what difference that makes but then I’m not the one posing the useless questions. 

It’s called attitude. I don’t consider it a useless reaction

How predictable the whole “how did we lose to [insert name of team who were just thumped]? They’re absolutely sch!tt and yet they beat us!” thing is. Extremely predictable and extremely tiresome.

What a redundant comment to make in general, but especially when it was the Giants and not North Melbourne or WCE who belted the Lions.

I hate it almost as much as I hate this old chestnut (to be said in your sternest voice while wagging your finger): “I hope you’re watching this, Goodwin. You could learn a thing or two.”

Mods, we really need an eye roll reaction. 
🙄

We got owned by Brisvegas for 4 Quarters, but you call it an overreaction. 
Did you actually watch tonight’s game?

Shot. 

Makes the loss even more painful to bare. The only other team they have beaten is Norf. It’s not good company to keep for the time being. 

Exactly. They owned us..

 i hope all the coaches watched this Game

Lions 2-5. fkked

lucky to make finals

culture is broken 

Arrogant [censored]

Losing to Brisvegas is an absolute embarrassment to this Club 

We have to get a lot better, they are cooked 

Well that first half was an absolute shambles 

But we have got the job done after half time 

I will take it. 
I reckon the Brisbane game spooked the Club 

Brian Wilson and Robbie both had Broken Collarbones after that ’87 PF

We were just too banged up to beat Carlton 

That in no way diminishes the pain and shock of losing that game, the way we did. 
I remember it so well 😢😡

Early days but... Premiership footy from the jailbirds?

Sure helps when you are gifted a Number One Draft Pick Midfielder 

Cannot believe the AFL allowed that one to go through!! But of course i can, it’s the AFL….

AFL gets more amateur every week 

That was holding the ball. 
But The Croms blew that anyway, so many chances

Rachele on National TV [censored] himself 

Shocking Game

Have the Croms touched the ball yet?

Adelaide sponsored by Crypto.com made me laugh 

One must NEVER even consider the option of wanting Collingwood to win 

HATE😡
