Vale, a very strong innings.

Is it childish of me to take pleasure in Richmond's loss? I must admit to having a quick look at PRE

Thanks for flying the flag, don't stress the money, your good karma account is full, along with every other supporter who travelled. (Have only done it twice for 0-2)

Was sure we were going to win going into tonight. Really kills my weekend losing. Fair play to Geelong they had circled this game from a way away, got their stars right (Dangerfield looked explosive over 10m) and as was well written in the gameday thread, Geelong have come up with a better plan. I also think a short break hurt us a bit, a few players looked NQR, May won't play another bad game like that. There were also some individual acts of excellence. Trac kicking goals again is a positive, ANB had some great touches, Petty has grown all year, Viney had another ripper game. In the grimace department, Harmes wasn't his recent damaging self. Sparrow had a bad game, but get off the kids back, he is working hard, gets another run, I felt like he got a lesson tonight he will take on board. Brown does not survive on that roving goal, was furious in the 4th with the dropped mark. If he is going to play like that then might as well blood some new players like JVR, something is not right with BBB he needs to fix it out of the team. I would rather it was kicked in front of Kozzie than Brown right now. My temper goes through the roof when I see posters criticizing effort/heart, they all try, every last one of them, yes the execution goes wrong sometimes and can grumble about that but the stuff that goes to the integrity of a player is just wrong. @Demon1987 is a dead set troll, looking at his history he only turns up to bait posters, not even funny, just a mouth breather. FWIW I didn't think the umpires missed or gave too many, Oliver had a high shot missed and Hawkins is kissed on his bee [censored] regularly, but overall was a par performance from the baby flies. Have now shifted to Bowey needing a spell, swap for Rivers, Bedford gets maybe one more game but wouldn't complain if Kade got a go. Spargo has mad credits with me, he does a power of work, he stays. Was a cracking contest though for the 1st half, sucks to be on the wrong side of the result.

GO DEES, GO YOU GOOD THINGS

FU to all the Fl0gs writing off the team's effort, they haven't given up.

https://timesnewsgroup.com.au/geelongtimes/sport/jones-heart-still-beats-true/ So is anyone going to watch Nathan run around on the 9th? I am hoping he has a bit of fun. Have been watching a lot of interviews and loving the honesty he brings.

Nah from me He feasted on Richmond for 5 when Grimes and Vlaustin both had dodgy hamstrings R5, the only other top 8 team he has kicked 2 goals against is Carlton (hardly a defensive benchmark team). Lions 1, Saints 1, GC 1, WB not top 8 and whose defense is shizen 3. A flat track bully (no surprise) who is not getting near it against other top 8 teams. And Wingnuts is a DH as TISM would say 'pure and simple'. Would make NARRM and everything we are doing in this space for indigenous footballers to get a fair crack suspect. He can join Essendon with De Goey at the end of the season.

Good pick up Jontee - I have noticed this and i think it is both clever and honorable. Being respectful, both with handshakes and interviews, denies opposition motivation and also demonstrates a superior level of confidence that in itself is intimidating to the opposition. Walk quietly and carry a big stick etc, no one is in doubt that we are BRUTAL at the contest, and when you are as BRUTAL as the team is, no need to carry on like a nong off the field or out of contest. You don't see an elephant running around like a mongoose a'la Ginnivan/Weightman. I know I often bring things back to me and it annoys some, but when I was a cop, treating a crook fairly and not being too 'Baptist' with chastisement after a physical confrontation was often commented upon by the crook, especially the older ones, the words that come back to me are 'You new guys are making it hard to hate you'.

Computer says No But 6 goals was very close to the pin.

Hopefully someone else who has seen more can say, have not watched enough of him.

Kade has been in the gym! Looked at those highlights and was fully impressed by his backside and legs, looks so strong through the core. Full credit to him for what must have been a power of work. I am thinking he must be close to seniors, Bedford deserves his go but Kade is bloody close. Shout out to the coaches as well. When I think of how TJ looked like a dish cloth all those years ago (with a to die for field kick it must be said) that lackadaisical approach is long gone.
-
What I haven't seen elsewhere is that, Fogarty hurt his finger when giving another one in the guts to Lever, when Lever was in front taking a mark. I normally like Dunstall but that was a [censored] comment. I was a bit annoyed Jack didn't sit him on his [censored] with a good push.

I would really love to see Gawn forward more, I remember Paul Salmon in the forward line for Essendon, he was devastating (and also a decent bloke, a bit like the Maddens and Danihers), and this is what I think Gawn could do as a proper ruck fwd. And before it is argued that we are 'robbing Peter to pay Paul', our Midfield just showed what it can do with reduced ruck presence. Also we didn't need Gawn down the line to save us, as our defence was perfection. We have come through more adversity this year with injuries. and it is giving us a look at alternate strategies, I see growth in the team this year. Personally I think Scott will be sweating bullets about the game with us, that soft Kangas match is not what they needed before us. They have Kade out now as well as Stewart, I think Gawn forward would unsettle the cats nicely without us missing too much. Just some random ideas.

Oliver Petracca Langdon Brayshaw Viney Salem Not convinced with my votes, May Lever and Harmes all good, and we broke our record for intercept marks. Am giving greater weight today to the midfield working with no recognised ruck, whereas I'd normally go Men's department.
-
What is Hibberd's injury?
-
Zorko a month on the news, that doesn’t help their cause.
-
Am going to be a 2y.o. about it. I WANT BOTH. SCREEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAM In my best parade ground voice of about 100db.
-
So does all of Essendon...
-
Bastards, made me cry.
-
On any other day that last match was 3 votes, Virgil Van Dyk would have been happy with that game.
-
So 4 weeks is still a win for the cats, but also within parameters. If it had been a bad boy like Toby 6 or for Hawkins 1
-
I hope he is ok, a bit worried tbh.
-
All fair, his position is the most vulnerable by far, more curious though about what you thought of his attitude/head space, was this you agreeing by saying he's better suited?
-
The Voldermorts of the AFL (Essendon) in 2000 (who were kissed on their bee's [censored] by the injury gods) didn't care who they were playing, they were just mentally scarring everyone. Our best would smash their best (would be a hell of a game). My point is we can mentally damage teams with our run home. There will be some media noise about something, Fugazi, but then we go bang bang bang (really want to see Max kick another 50 on the run in a final.)
