Are you not entertained?  😅

I am 😂
 

I don't watch many footy shows but when I do I see them bang on about stuff we've been talking about here for months and sometimes years.

Aside from that kick where we got a good bounce i thought he was very average in defence

I just knew that was gonna bounce.

You seem to have forgotten that Stephen Dank has promised to tell his story and clear everyone of any wrongdoing. Any day now...

With the soft cap, how can Essendon have more money to offer than North? Surely if Clarkson takes more money himself from Essendon there would be less available for all other football requirements, including assistant coaches.

It all seems very much like Melbourne after the 186 game. Headless chooks not knowing who to sack and the order in which to sack them.   

Well he can make the choice between turning up to work at a club with state of the art facilities and money falling out've its pockets.
Or to the club with their arzz hangin' out their pants.

If he's going anywhere, it'll be to The Hanger.

Oh god clarko will make Essendon good. Please don't go there.

Gee a bit harsh on Rutten. Keep him there so they keep losing. But seriously it was a terrible loss but I wonder if Clarkson wasn't available they'd have sacked Rutten. 

No he won't.
Not gonna hit the draft jackpot again like he did at the Dawks.

Forget the cash strapped Roos.
Clarko will follow the money and go to Essendon.

Watched the last 2 minutes again. The standard of commentary is absolute and utter garbage. Koz kicks one of the most clutch goals of the season, and all McLachlan can do is waffle on about the team being beaten and how disappointing it is for them. What about celebrating the skill and effort on display to do what looked impossible?

I loved the bit about their broken hearts.
Be good to look back on in future years 😎👍

Now lets end it with port continuing to thrash Essendon & make there fans more miserable 

I also need Boak to go big for Supercoach 😉👍
Needs to get a wriggle on.

Sydney are doing what we couldn't do.  

Kick straight?

True, but he has some stiff opposition.

Draper from Essendon?

Rhys Matheson from the Lions?

 

I'll throw in Tom Papley from the Swans.

This is nothing like the pies team we played last week. Their pressure is way off, they’re missing easy shots, maybe it was Langdon’s spray that go them going? 😭😭😭

 
Not just collingwood.
They've all lifted when they've played us.
All wanna take down the big dog.
 

Flag in the bank.
Rd22 , sittin' 2nd with a healthy list.
We all know there's another gear if they can find it.
All the years I would've killed to be in this situation.






 

 

Wow wee man.

Well .... We've certainly given Ch7 their moneys worth this year.

Stevie May the motivational speaker.

Yeah the AFL sold out their integrity again for the mighty dollar.
Am I surprised ... No.
They spent 4 and a half hrs calculating ticket sales and found the contact was incidental.

Sorry @Demonstone but you're completely wrong and here's some stats that actually could mean anything but I choose to interpret them in a confirmation bias way to start an argument that will never end...

 

And yet the DL mods protect you.

I rest my case.

 Does Goody just see these stats as part of Chaos Ball?

You hear it all the time.
"Usually if you get 60 inside 50's, you're going to win the game."

Problem is far too many of those inside 50's are just garbage.
Goody likes to keep the opposition to under 60pts as well.

Neither of the above happened.

Cox did that a couple of times on Queen's Bday too, didn't jump at the ruck contest just kneed Max straight in the hip/ribs. Dog of a player, dog of a club.

Yep, loves using his knees.
This from an earlier game against the Lions.

I took the kids down to watch training an get a few autographs at Casey when Neeld was coaching.
Came away wrapped how good the players were with the kids, Jack Watts and Colin Sylvia especially.
There was one arrogant [censored] though who didn't give them the time of day.
No guesses who he was.

The irony is we do that to avoid… 

Turning it over and being vulnerable to sling shot goals…

 

So how about just kick to someone leading into whatever space there is…

Yep, they're supposed to lock it in.

Don't think I have any. If I do I'll just say the umps got them home.
