Would it be a raving success if we'd won by a point and parked ourself in 7th? You can't let one game define the colour of the whole season. Well, you can, free country! But I won't. I hope nobody interprets this as ambivalence, disinterested or acceptance of a craphouse performance. It's not. I'm bloody spewing. Just being careful not to let my emotions drive me to false conclusions.

We don't deserve finals any more or less than we did before this game. All the teams in the bottom end of the 8 and below are there because they've dropped games. This result is gut wrenching and a total disaster, but let's be careful not to extrapolate that in to the season being a disaster. It hasn't been.

Couldn't stick a tackle. Fumbles galore. I think objectively we were okay for three quarters, but after the game was bloody nearly put out of reach. Gosh that was a deflating performance. I try very hard not to take losses to heart, but by golly I'm going to struggle not to feel filthy for the rest of the weekend.

Woe.

Trac, Hunt, Pedda, Oliver lifted massively. There's a flicker.

Anyone else's metabolism working overtime at present?

RIP Drew. Enjoyed his commentary when he was on TV in the 90s and never understood why he wasn't retained like Sandy, Bruce, Dennis and co through those years where the rights were bouncing around. Heard him more as an ABC Cricket commentator in more recent years and enjoyed his passionate and knowledgeable commentary on that too. Sad day for sport coverage.

They couldn't have toppled us with their percentage anyway, nor can St Kilda. Only team that can knock us out are West Coast.

I don't recall Kent Kingsley destroying us on debut. Kingsley also had two 50 goal seasons. Despite his reputation around here being that of a dud who routinely destroyed us, the guy could clearly play.

It's ridiculous, and happens all the time. It seems like such an easy thing to get right. I don't understand why the umpires don't just wear bright pink or something every week - easy to see and doesn't clash with any teams.

I'd like to see the Bulldogs win just to make Essendon squirm until Sunday arvo. Would be a welcome, albeit brief, distraction from my current nerves.

Is 300 the conservative view?!

Until today I wasn't aware Collingwood had a player named Kirby. Who is he and why are we apparently so afraid of this zero game player?

Don't worry about it mate, it's all water off a duck's back for me, I literally laughed out loud when I read his post. Was nice to chat to you last night!

So much fun. Hopefully I didn't ramble too much!

Haha, you're welcome to it if you want, though that could get a bit confusing to Demonlanders who have been around a bit. I can't even remember the origin of it other than I started using it once when trying to go 'incognito' in other games and forums I was part of and ended up using it for everything. It has no relevance to my real life at all.

When I was a teenager, 16 or 17, I got told by someone in an online game that I sounded like a 12 year old. This will be the first time I've put my voice up for strangers to hear since! I'm hoping for something roughly in between 12 year old and Barry White.

Was going to say something like that on the cast myself. Damn.

There's a good chance both my feet could fit in one of his shoes to be honest.

Move over Jayden Hunt, Mark Jamar etc! What would those mugs know about the MFC anyway?

Didn't @rpfcgo by this alias waayyyyyyyyyyyyy back when?

If he's not back in this week then there's more to the story than we are being told. Nobody can seriously say with a straight face that we're better off with Wagner or Stretch in the team than Watts.

We're not allowed to win the flag this year. A mate of 20+ years has organised his wedding on Grand Final day. Who does that?!
