Well, if I'm the next person, probably not. :smirk:

Good point. Bit like saying I am as sane as the next person only to find the next person is Charles Manson...
 
Fantastic afternoon in my household. Partner is rapt with the Dogs.

Though to be fair she was almost cheering for Carlton as loudly as I was today. She loves Bolton.
 
Another loss coming up for the Pies Hahahahaha

Tough going to win when you are two players down against a good side......... oh hang on, we did!!:p

Collingwood were very good, all considered.

We were two players short (admittedly early on) but Collingwood didn't have a bench at all.

Even Pendlebury was spraying his kicks for how tired he was.
I don't doubt they were.

Still happy to see them lose but :p

Sure, but credit where credit is due.

They worked every bit as hard as we did today........just didn't get the same result.
They really confuse me as a team. Sometimes they seem absolutely bereft of anything and you think Bucks will be taken to the cleaners any given week, then other times they start bringing their vintage high pressure, high intensity game and do OK and actually look like they do care.

That's because Bucks is an above average tactician when it comes to planning or assessing an opponent's strengths, but is both a poor motivator and utterly terrible when things don't go to plan. If things pan out the way he expects, his side looks to have all the answers and can counter anything thrown at them; if he's wrong, or the game changes, or the opposing coach planned better, he can't adapt, and his side looks reactive and disunited.
 
Hate Essendon as much as much as the next person, but don't get some of the Darcy Parish bashing going on, kid's an absolute beauty, a couple of goals he kicked tonight were Daicos like in terms of difficulty and execution. Kid has a lot of confidence in his ability, and right now probably does deserve to be Rising Star favourite.

I hear what you're saying and i agree, he's been one of their best players in the three or four games i've been unlucky enough to see.

on the other hand my missus, who doesn't care much for football, wants to know why he has 'princess di hair'.
