[ThomasR]

At 16/17.

An acl at 17 should have been a write off

Gawn did an ACL at 17 and another at 19. worked out ok for him

 

[Plugger35]

Re Ben King - so a fwd can actually stay inside the 50 and not have to run up and down the ground all match.

Watching him kick 7 goals today just reminds me of what we are missing with Max out injured.

It doesn't seem fair that the Suns have the fit and firing King with their abundance of talent while our King can't get on the park.

 

[Geezington]

Jacob van pooman back to being absolute dog shit

 

[seasonedsainter]

We need quietly slide the chequebook across to Darcy Wilson and also hope North stay shit, go you Weagles

 

[Ads734]

Why did we pick the twin coming off an ACL, we had the fresh one right there.

It’s not like Ben didn’t rupture his acl as well. So much revisionist crap on here.

 

[beside the seaside]

We got the lemon King didn't we.

Ben King.
6 Goals today.

This year
15.1 from 17 kicks and 16 set shots

I reckon Ben's form is actually exciting for us if we can get ours on the park. Ben was pretty average a couple of years ago. If Max can get back he can be a gun for us. Fingers crossed.

Beautiful Sunday afternoon watching the Bummers get smashed...

 

[Hysteria]

Imagine sitting down as an Essendon supporter on a Sunday afternoon and listening to Ken Hinkley wax lyrical about how amazing all his boys are as they snuff out any hope you had in the first Quarter.

Sitting down here, no doubt

Essendon are putrid. It’s beautiful.

I'm not gonna say what I want to happen, because I'll jinx it. But I hope it does

 

[Plugger35]

I almost feel sorry for Essendon supporters having to watch their team impersonating witches hats again, almost.

I shouldn't have said anything

 

[Train12]

Remember last year Port supporters with us regarding NAS and what we would have to take blah blah blah…

Should we return the favour regarding Butters

Absolutely, but be sure to point out he's out of contract, wants to come home and therefore he's really not worth that much.

 

[Broski]

Jeez I wonder if the AFL media elite let this potential horror result from the Roos slide.

 

[jumperfan]

Clucko looks every bit as lost as Scott did earlier today.

Geez the Eagles look fantastic. Their kids are electric.

 

[my name was taken]

It's much funnier when it's not your club at Optus

 

[Remboy]

Bombers v North next week. I'm not sure who's under the pump more.

 

[seasonedsainter]

Glad Norf are now the last team to lose to West Coast!

 

[Mat Mann]

Bombers v North next week. I'm not sure who's under the pump more.

North got outworked, plus their older players didn't stand up, Darling Parker, Daniels, and Simpkin were not the equal to Baker, Yeo, and Kelly

Dopers were truly horrendous, no workrate, no skill , no system

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Was just reading that, including the end of last season, the Bombers have now lost fifteen straight. Long may it continue!

So apparently if I can cling to life until late 2034 I’ll get to see my beloved Saints win their second flag (beating the Pies again )

Of course I may decide to end it all before then having been forced to watch Carlton make the Grand Final this year and then winning the lot next year
