[Lakeside Swan]

Thought crack was bannable

I think it's either a right raised armpit (very well shaved) or a left thigh in granny togs.

Hard to hold an ipad to your own rear

 

[Maddhew]

KUdos to anyone who booed hird

Entire Essendon cheersquad booed Goodes whenever (not often) he got the ball.

Had no sympathy for anything directed towards the dons after that

 

[Dangas]

What a win? I'm still in awe.

Stuff you Razor. Frackin' disgrace of a ump

Buddy was fantastic. As was Parker & Heeny and I love you a lot Teddy!!! Could not believe how shite we were and I was copping a drenching for the privilege nek minute

This was the Hun's backpage for tomorrows paper at three quarter time

#DeweyDefeatsTruman

Haha. Gotta buy that tomorrow.

 

[Lakeside Swan]

Revised to this

Ha. The Age. No integrity. Trust me, I used to work for them.

 

[Lakeside Swan]

It took Parker getting knocked out to spark something we are a strange football team but on the other hand it took us a quarter of football to put away a finals bound side.

I dont know is that a good or bad thing :S

Bad! If you need a player to be knocked out to spark your motivation, there is something seriously wrong.

Stuff you Razor. Frackin' disgrace of a ump

McInerney used to be the other one that would crucify us every match he umpired. Unfortunately most umpires are from Melbourne and hold this subconscious grudge against Sydney and Brisbane. I think they are also swayed by the aggression of some supporters (ie. Collingwood, Hawthorn, Essendon, the Adelaide sides and the Perth sides, etc)

 

[Ticky009]

Am going to be a tad peeved if it's all about 'brave' Bombers in the press tomorrow. 52 points in the wet deserves some acknowledgement.

 

[vonn]

I just watched the highlights. It's just reinforced we were down by 41 and still won. Hahahaaaaaaaaaa
Haha



Aha.

Hahha.

Drugs.

agree re razor.

I am gutted but given the umpiring I actually think the scoreline flattered us a bit

I thought it was more Buddy's tackle that motivated the team.

 

[ezard15]

well deserved win.

I was never comfortable despite being well ahead.

More accurate kicking by sydney and better umpiring and you guys would have won by more (I think).

As for the ASADA stuff, we did the same thing in our final against North, so I doubt it had any impact.

All happened really quickly. Still an incredible comeback

Pity you aren't still there...we have some 'gifts' you could have dropped off to Jon Ralph oh bollocks, wrong paper

Get ready because that's all you will get #sobrave

Can only hope the little turd rips his hammy off the bone. i hate him, self indulgent little prick.

 

[McRobie]

We have any word on Parker? hope its only a concussion, J Brown was saying on the coverage he might have cracked jaw given the blood coming out.

He's fine. Blood was from cut lip

 

[kickthething]

Liked the move on Rampe to midfield in the 4th, thought that gave us something...the first three quarters though...wtf it was gf2014 all over again. Reid looked better when he went back and Buddy saved us at both ends...Heeney looked good, a few poor turnovers but forgivable and he wasn't an orphan. Also Lloyd provided when he came on. Liked Tippo once we decided there was someone else we could kick to. Really though, Grundy is a major concern atm he gives me no confidence at al down back.

Well, at least we won !

 

[McRobie]

Awesome result. he is going to win the Brownlow.

 

[Parkerman]

Horse has that blank look in his presser.

Did anyone ask him why the long face?

 

[Ticky009]

Am watching replay...LOL 3rd quarter commentary hahahahahaha

 

[DavyRed]

I thought Reid was a fairly good barometer for the side today. Utterly insipid in the first three quarters - and I was slagging him off just as much as everyone else - but I watched him in that last quarter and he took some nice marks and actually made a good effort when the ball was on the ground. Look, he wasn't a world beater but that last quarter and a bit was okay from him.
