I can. Essendon are useless and we are making them look like millionaires.

Yep, completely agree. This is why we lose so often to teams like this - we just have NFI and if we stopped playing into their hands we'd be fine. I'm frustrated too, don't worry. There's no way they should be within 8 goals of us.

Why shouldn't we think we would smash them? Every other team will - what constantly makes us so negative that we even give them a sniff? And yes, people on here are defeatist. Same thing last week, and look what happened then. We are playing disgracefully and are only 9 points down. Pull our fingers out a bit and we'll be fine.

They are absolutely slicing us up in traffic.

How was that not high on Jones?

We're 10 minutes into the second quarter!

Fantastic that the commentators literally say they are barracking for Essendon. Disgusting.

Let's all chill out a bit - long way to go yet.

The club has stuck by him? Wow. As opposed to what - delisting one of their best 10-15 players? You're kidding.

Tell me you aren't serious.

Maybe. Or maybe the TV executives who have the AFL's fixturing people in their pocket know better than you what makes them the most money.

Sure, and these teams usually pull big ratings. The reason we don't play is that nobody watches us.

You aren't seriously taking your footy jumper overseas are you?

To be fair, they are the teams which constantly pull 60-70k

They do have Dusty, I guess.

This is dreadful. Hate to say it, but Curry is right. Given our back end of the season, we really need to make the most of playing teams like this when they are absolutely rubbish

Jeez some supporters are party poopers of the highest order.

Poor old Stuie would just about explode if that happened.

He's one of the logical ones to go, though. Not a surprise, sadly, but about time too I guess. Just one of those things.

Hogan might kick 20.

Yes, but it doesn't have to. There's no other player in the league contracted until the end of next year whose contract status anybody is even remotely discussing. I know he is important etc etc, but it's just a waste of energy! Anyway, rant over!

Yes please. It's so boring trawling through this thread to look for something that is actually relevant.

This is the fundamental problem with your argument in my book. Nasher has already pointed out why, but your definition of 'gifted' is off. You're not being gifted games if you're best 22 every week.

I've been saying this for a couple of weeks now. It's infuriating how many people are stick kicking him while covering their post with 'oh, but I'm really enjoying watching him this year'. Then following it up with another whack.
