[The Devils Advocate]

The “shush” celebration is such a flog thing to do.

 

[apollo_creed]

i guess he should sack em, if their job was to help us. They didn't do it well.

Haha the old ‘the free kicks must be even’ argument.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

WC coming along nicely, obviously wanted to win but given the last 2 yrs am very happy with how we're tracking now.
Might just prove a few media DHs wrong.

Can see Simpson is enjoying himself in the box watching the team grow every week.

Cripps tho wth was he thinking right infront of the umpire.

 

[BomberBoy123]

How come Reid was rested for a second week?

 

[Great8]

Have a pretty soft draw until the back end of the season. Just need to keep grinding out these close ones. Unlikely to win a final.

Perhaps we won’t win a final and maybe we might drop off but 4 of our first 8 games interstate and yet we are still sitting higher than I thought we would be

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

The WA commentary team took a weird amount of glee that Harley Reid has the most high tackle frees paid to him this year.

Weird stat to be proud of. I can see why he has so many now though.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Cripps decision cost them

Bombers won't stay in the 8 for long , getting lucky so far

People were saying we would start the season 2-6. We are 5-2-1. I'll take it. We are a much better side than I thought we would be. Wonder if we play you in Melbourne this year? Probably not.

 

[Golden Sun]

It really isn't, that will catch up with any team eventually. No team is making it with a percentage less than 100.

They have North to come. Highly unlikely to be less than 100 after that.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Crazy that both Collingwood and Essendon nearly drew again.

 

[Luuuc]

Final score a bit flattering I think, but I'm pleased with the 2nd half fight.
Still so many scrubs running around in blue & gold it's kind of amazing we are able to be competitive.
Bombers very well represented in the crowd numbers as always.

 

[oak79]

You realise Essendon have had a draw right? Percentage means almost nothing now. It's almost a blessing for Essendon.

Unless you and the Pies are in the running for 8th spot...

Guelfi one of the biggest crabs in the AFL, has burgled a living for years

Why?

 

[Skipper_]

Good thing their percentage is also pretty average as well then (for now).

 

[BomberBoy123]

Why?

Didn’t see him

 

[windyhill]

There a bigger group of players
Who rate themselves as much as these bombers?
Ben Hobbs acting like he’s played 250 and won 3 flags
Especially after zero success

Sicily.

 

[Farang83150]

Didn’t see him

Perhaps you should've watched the game

 

[TheKanga]

So I guess Eagles don't need a priority pick after all?
Seem pretty competitive lately.

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Eagles no longer easy beats they played bloody well and have for about a month

And Waterman he does remind me of G Train

Yeah and?

 

[BomberBoy123]

Perhaps you should've watched the game

I guess I must have blinked when he had his 5 kicks

 

[EagleMan87]

Great win Bombers. Highly disciplined team with two absolute guns in the middle with Durham and Merrett.

 

[TheKanga]

Yeah and?

Nothing
Just interesting how fast it can turn.

I watched Dogs vs Eagles and WCE looked terrible and I assumed it would be a year of floggings.

 

[Vindicater]

Bombers getting away with a lot of holding and blocking

Eagles got away with alot of ducking and staging too.
