We should torch the Giants next week, they have been pathetic today.

Lowlight of the game was some [censored] stealing a top from the Demon Shop at half time. I went down to get the number 5 put on my son's guernsey and the staff realised someone had bolted out and stolen a sweater or hoodie or something. I mean seriously, if you barrack for the club why would you pinch something from their own store???

In the last 5 minutes alone; - Rivers pushed straight in the back while taking his kick out of the back pocket - no free - Hooker throws the ball over his head (just prior to the Tippa/Harmes HTB they're up in arms about) - no free - Kozzie tackled around the neck - HTB against There was another blatant one in the 3rd where TMac tackled Merrett and was paid holding the man against. The Petracca one they're also whinging about that they think should've been holding the ball probably should have been a free to us for a sling tackle (one arm pinned, 360 sling, head hits the ground) The whinging from their supporters was ridiculous, the persecution complex infiltrated their players so Merrett, Smith, Stringer etc were more worried about the umps than the footy.

Matt Whelan?

You did better than me, I was pissing myself??

That was clearly a point - surely the ball has to have left his boot before it crosses the line?? Of course with the crappy cameras the AFL is working with you don't actually see anything, just a blur of yellow. Amateur hour.

Yeah but 10 of them went to Spargo ?

Mate he's what, 19? Give him a break, pretty much helped get us over the line against Brisbane a few weeks back.

Mate you should try living near them! I'm right smack bang in the middle of Bomber heartland, only a 5 minute drive from Windy Hill.

Were sitting on top of the ladder, 12-2 and two ganes clear of second but we're not getting anywhere near the cup? Sure we can play better but come on, credit where it's due. We towelled up the Lions and Dogs less than a month ago, Port, Geelong, West Coast woukd he 50/50 games at worst.

It was extremely loud at the ground. Felt like way more than 20k there that's for sure.

I wasn't gonna go into this until another time but oliver was really frustrating tonight, not taking first options, running forward then stopping and going backwards, lairising. Our inside 50s were deplorable especially in the first half as well - having said that nail some of those set shots we missed and we would've been up by 7 goals at 3/4 time

I thought it was great, allowed my kids to fully understand why Essendon are my most hated team. Absolute nuffies, my 8yo just kept saying what a bunch of sooks they are and my 5yo asked me to lift him up at the end of the game so he could tell the Essendon supporters to shut up ? Scrappy win, we still look slightly off - I wonder if they're going through a block of intense training at the moment to prep them for the back end of the season? They look a bit sluggish, kicks not making distance, pressure not there, a bit of sloppiness in the ball handling. Hopefully they sort it out, 2 games clear on top gives us leeway but we can come back to the pack pretty quickly.

BOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I think they do (or used to) at Docklands but don't think so at the G. Haven't been stopped using jnr tickets this year anyway.

I couldn't get any undercover and had to split my group in two - got 5 seats M18 and 3 up on level 3 - but agree there wasn't any waiting queue or anything which made it quicker (I guess only 2 games on sale with reduced capacity meant way less people trying to get on at once).

How old do you think I am? ? I guess at 39 I am now well and truly in the old fogey category (especially when I start lamenting the state of modern music) but I wasn't that old when social media was introduced. Thankfully though I can remember a time before, I feel sorry for my kids though who will never have that luxury.

So you have two options if it is impacting your mental health to such a negative degree; - switch it off, or - hope the entire world stops using social media to spout negative and/or narcissistic bile

In - Viney Out - Weid

Were there limits on how many tickets you can get in one transaction? Earlier in the year it was called at 6 I think then they changed it to 10.

That is what is being indicated - 25k cap at outdoor venues regardless of capacity
