Essendon snatching a draw from the jaws of victory

Bombers going to put the game away in the first quarter

Brilliant kick from Stringer

What was that nonsense, BT? It was a standard warm up drill.

Ollie Florent has been first class today

We need more mongrel in our game. We've got great skills but need to do the hard stuff at the contest a lot better.

Wow, some really trash Eagles fans in this thread. Your team has had a red hot go and you should be pumping them up but decide to go for 20 posts about umpires and Swans being cheats. Classless.

Swans playing pathetic footy AND Dwyane and Kelli commentating. Salt in the wound.

I think the brand is clear and the list is positioned to provide it. The Tigers gave manic pressure and it broke down the game plan. If you apply enough defensive pressure to any team they will have difficulty executing.

It proved that we are a very talented but still very young side and fumbled under pressure. Those 3 veteran players in Parker, Mills and Adams would have proven very handy I think. Losing Rampe also didn't help matters. You win or you learn.

Tiges played with more heart and determination. Deserved to win.

Tigers showed all the heart in that match. Hopefully that's a kick up the arse from players to fans.

Pressure from the Tigers was excellent but it's hard to maintain.

Exposed us by losing by 30 points. Alright champ. Swans are still a young side so less talented teams will try to intimidate them but they've proved equal to the task so far.

Neale's brilliance and Hipwood can't take a regulation chest mark
