correct.
Haven't seen the Dockers play yet, but they seemed to still compete ok, and with 3-4hrs less back up time to boot and a flight closer to their next game.
i think its naive to not think that the heat last week would have some form of effect. But its a part of the fixture. It was probably a factor, but not an excuse. If we had to, we should have rested whoever needed it.
Its Essendon. Cant believe they still get sympathy votes from the media.

The flu, the heat, gastro, injuries, 6 day break...
Or just been outran, outmarked, outplayed by two teams who were much more desperate at the footy?
5 excuses we're up to now.

Pretty cold tonight...guess their balls shrunk...
Bomber said a few times in his presser he wont use the 6 day break from Perth as an excuse.
Like he said the players weren't physically and mentally ready and couldn't cope with what St Kilda did all credit to them.

Stanton had a crack, caused me a few grey hairs late.
Strange watching a Mark Thompson coached side kick backwards so often, but credit to the saints intensity & work ethic to man up for four entire quarters.

Was the difference really. We didn't have a lot of open contests forward of the centre circle tonight. Kudos to your back line and the midfield/half forwards for their defensive structures.

That was by far the most disapointing effort I have seen from the Bombers since around 1996/97.
We are a top four side who don't realise it and will not come close to it based on this performance. Hopefully Bomber gets through to some of these front runners.

How have you worked out that you are a top 4 side?

St. Kilda fans giving another team crap about banned substances ahahahahahahaha
One is bought legally at a supermarket or any shop.. One is shadily injected in clinics out of the watchful eye of the AFL, ASADA, WADA and anyone decent.
Yeah, you can really compare the two.

Bomber fans should STFU about drugs. It´s a disgrace what went on at your club. End of.

The bombers are a decent side with a proven premiership winning coach.
People are just underrating StKilda, which is fine with me

One contained traces of a banned substance, whilst the other didn't.
Yeah, you can't. Ignorance ain't an excuse
