Give Kangas a real shot against Collingwood.

Port best value of the round.

As if ...

Nah ... we're out.

Has anyone seen or heard from Kate Roffey recently?

Listen to the band!

I haven't watched any of the match ... and won't watch the replay. 

However, judging from the previous matches ...

1. Our previous success was built on the performances of the A graders ... Trac, Oliver, Viney, Lever, May, Brayshaw. We had a dream run in 2021 with injuries. None of the A graders are playing well, other than Trac. Oliver is a shadow of his former self. Same with Viney. (Is he injured?) And May. 
2. The second/third tier players looked good on the back of the A graders starring, eg. Bowey, Langdon, McVee, Fritsch, Petty. 
3. We have been selecting players who just aren't up to standard, eg  Laurie, Billings, McAdam.
4. I still hold hopes for Petty, but he should play in the backline until he can find some form.
5. Our depth is poor. If any of the current team are dropped, who would come in? BBB is cooked. Schache seems like a lost cause, Fullarton obviously not rated at all. Some of the youngies should get a go, although not all at once!
6. The overall skill level is poor. Turnovers kill us. I get very frustrated by this .... they are highly paid/full time professionals. Kicking/handballing/decision making is their job. If any of us did our jobs that badly there would be adverse consequences. 
7. Yes, the goal kicking is bad, but many of the shots were from difficult angles.
8. Disruptions such as Joel Smith/Oliver/Gus' retirement were damaging.

 FWIW, I think we'll beat Norf.

I feel his pain. I had a cycling accident 12 years ago with similar injuries.

Can't believe he tried to play on.

If we're not in finals contention he should take the rest of the season off. 

Did someone say KFC?

We'll beat Norf. 

Far from ideal. 

Just checked the scores.

Any chance of a miraculous come from behind win?

I feel sorry for those at the match, surrounded by filth people.

Is my bet on the filth safe?

I haven't been watching. Just saw the scores.

Not ideal.

What odds did you get for the team you despise the most? 
A lot of money has come for the Dees the last 12 hrs.

I got on at $1.94 last week. They went to $1.90 (favourites), but now $1.96.

Demons now $1.84 on Sportsbet.

I just can't see how the Dees will kick a winning score. Forward line is a mess.

I put money on the filth. I hope to lose that money.

MOVE ON FOR GODS SAKE, it ruined our finals last year, let’s not let it happen again this year.

Its an 8 point game & if we get distracted again we can kiss finals goodbye 

l love Gus & hated what happened, but we need to show that we are a united team & play the team not the man

I doubt that there is a causal link between me not moving on and the team's success or otherwise.

A friend's wife is a filth supporter. She posted that Demons supporters should "move on".

I wonder if she would have felt the same if Steven May had done the same thing to Daicos ...

Gresham is Essendon's version of Billings.

Bit slow on the uptake Bingers. That was in the first quarter. 😅 

No point rushing these things.

Jobe Watson .... "he's ambidextrous on both sides" ....

Don't let them win go and support our boys 

Sorry, but the filth people do my head in. Not quite a mental health issue, but not far from it. I actually get upset in their presence. 

Please cheer for me. 

As much as I hate the filth*, they have always been a pretty good 'one soldier out, one soldier in' side.

*extreme level of hate.

Yes, Thommo [sic], Whoey, McHadam + Hhunter out, Van Rhooyen, Bhillings, Lhaurie and Hhowes in.

To be fair, I've been trying to write the Cats off since 2021.

Bastards refuse to die.

Like cockroaches.

Amartey is an 'almost' type of player.

Ah yes, the commentator couldn't help referring to the Shi%[censored] spirit !!!
