Review Portress schmoortress: Essendon dft. Port by 2 points in Adelaide

[84859300]

I always jump the turnstile
I never pay the toll.

Shall we go deeper down the rabbit hole??

You can speak for yourself
Before the moment is lost
But I don't wanna shout 'cos I'm counting the cost
I'm counting the cost

 

[The Scales]

A couple of frothies under the belt now, heartbeat and respiration stabilized. Just on the quiet, how ******* good was that? Keeps the finals within reach, and the top eight have levelled out some more. Some very winnable games in the run home - if we apply ourselves, like we did tonight.

In the context of the last two seasons, the team has mainly performed beyond expectations. In light of the recent off-field "wins", I'm sensing the coaches and players are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and game day results have meaning.

I tipped the Bombers tonight out of loyalty and hope, thinking we were going to get flogged. I'll be very confident tipping them next week, based on form.

Carna Dons.

Jesus, the two of you, get a room.

Jesus, the two of you, get a room.

They're married to ambition to the slogans of the war
Slogans that used to be scrawled on the wall and written in the heart

 

[Duckworth]

Is the Kern Hinkley stuff still going around?

 

[efcboy]

A big fat juicy thank you from every Crows fan for giving the Power their second loss at the *broken Portress*

Port are so far up their own ass this year it's good to see them taken down another peg.

But apparently you can never tear them apart...torn apart two weeks in a row!

 

[Pevers-Legend]

You can fill a stadium with as many band wagoners as you like, but our club >>>>> yours.

It was full of Dons fans thank you very much.

Did we play Port or Liverpool tonight? wasn't sure after that rubbish at the start

Made me feel sick, are they trying to be an EPL club?!
As an Everton supporter, I was happy to see those Kopites beaten

Well we sure teared those campaigners apart

The issue with Port is They never stop, stop, stop until they're top, top top.
Once they're at the top, they get confused and forget how to win ^_^

 

[srobbo]

Did I not say this was the pivotal game and we'd win??

Just call me the oracle.

Now for the lukewarm Pies next sunday and we're really on our way.

Go Dons!!

Or they just do what they are told once they reach the top top top and stop stop stop.

 

[Halftimehero]

How embarrassing is there crowd? go ape s**t at every decision that goes against them, including the most blatant free kicks you will ever see.

 

[eth-dog]

We're pretty bad at it too...

 

[2one2]

Oh hey I just remembered our two best players were out.

FARRRRRRKKKKKKKKKK YEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH EAT ALL THE s**t MOTHER*erS!!!! COLLINGcampaignerS RUN AT US!!!!

 

[BrewSmackerVeiny]

Up the SA Bombers...

Pweter
BrewSmackerVeiny

I am sure there are others.

Got more texts 2 weeks ago when we nailed the Crows, but it's another nice day

 

[Halftimehero]

We're pretty bad at it too...

No way it sounds that bad on TV though

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Some one needs to make a gif of Bomber relaxing in his chair and one of Myers bowling over Boak.

 

[Essendonia]

Was out so missed the game.

Stoked for the win. Stoked.

* yeah.

This is what it is about. Getting psyched about football and results and nothing else!!!

 

[Schulzenfest]

Good win Bombers, your pressure was ridiculous. Adjusted to the conditions far better than we did. 92 tackles! Probably a wake up call that Port needed when Hinkley amazingly decided that losing our two best KPD's and our back up ruck and replacing them with a half back flankers and two mids was going to work.

And yes, Gus was 100% holding the ball.

Ok. Despite that bullshit goal at the end, I think Mitchell (37 for port) is now my favourite non-essendon player because he looks like a ****en bad guy from an 80s film!

Do you want him? If I'd just watched an opposition player play that game against my team he'd probably be my favourite player too.

 

[Stopher]

FWIW, I tipped the Dons.

I always do! Much to my detriment in recent years, but wanting my boys to lose for any reason is not on.

And did anyone else get branded a 'weirdo' by their partner? Completely lost my s**t at that Angus non-HTB.

******* brilliant win and continues the excellent interstate record since Hirdy became coach.

That tap by Derp to set up Jerrett. Boy's got smarts!

Just quietly Pittard was one of Essendon's better players last night.

Embarrassing by Port.

Embarrassing by Port.

The must have employed the same dickhead who Essendon employed to bring us the siren and red meter crap before the games.
