Bump

[Bulldog4life]

Dusty and Lynch both out for the Tigers again just announced. Go Freo.

[merantau]

Half time. Anyone's game.

[G-Mo77]

No Lobb, not interested.

[MrMahatma]

Both these teams suck

[merantau]

3/4 time - anyone's game.

[hujsh]

Turn's out it was no ones game

[azabob]

That was just an odd game and even odder finish…

[hujsh]

Did Balta just say 'who cares?' about the result?

[angelopetraglia]

Wow. It felt like an open game with hectic ball movement from one end to the other but no one could kick goals. So many skill errors. Crazy finish.

[angelopetraglia]

Did Balta just say 'who cares?' about the result?

Yes. But he was all over the place, not sure it came out how he wanted to. He was clearly upset.

[josie]

Did not watch whole game but liked look of Logue and especially Young from Freo. Young is a clever and skilful from what I saw. Logue reasonably mobile for a tall plus a bit of ruck work which Bevo would love.

Logue is not a forward nor is he a ruckman.

[Grantysghost]

Only 14 goals, surely we need to remove tackling that’s just awful footy. (I loved it).

[Flamethrower]

Fremantle - the resistible force
Richmond - the movable object
Worst game of footy I have seen in years (since the infamous St Kilda v Sydney 8.8.56 all draw) a draw was the perfect result.

[hujsh]

Yes. But he was all over the place, not sure it came out how he wanted to. He was clearly upset.

I bet a few fans are upset by it. But you're right probably just his attempt to console himself for taking too long to kick at goal earlier.

[MrMahatma]

Those 2 teams should give Dogs and Port their finals spots. Those teams genuinely suck!

[Mantis]

Is there a worse team in the comp to watch than Fremantle? It’s like watching paint dry!

[Happy Days]

Is there a worse team in the comp to watch than Fremantle? It’s like watching paint dry!

I really hope our season is still alive by the time we play them in a few weeks because they’re a perfect match up for us. I think our game style has the fire power to work through their whole ground defence and they don’t have the forwards to expose us in defence (especially after Rory Lobb rips off his jumper to reveal an NWO Black and White t-shirt early in the game).

[Grantysghost]

Is there a worse team in the comp to watch than Fremantle? It’s like watching paint dry!

Aints. They are horrid.

I don’t mind Freo and the way they play. Brilliant structure, total team commitment and always in games.

I like great defensive strategy. The Tigers pushed all their forwards up last night but half the players didn’t get the memo and kept kicking it over them to the Dockers trap. Freo’s pressure forced a lot of it too. I really like Alex Pearce for them.

[MrMahatma]

Cats and Port having an epic!

[azabob]

Cats and Port having an epic!

Best game I’ve seen all year.

[GVGjr]

Scores at the Q clash look like it's a cracking game.

[hujsh]

I was keen to see Collingwood lose to maybe overtake them but watching Essendon's inept defence from that last point was very funny.

[whythelongface]

Collingwood riding their luck in the last 3 games against average opposition. Coming from behind in all games in the last qtr.

Winning 9 games in a row is a fair effort. Still don’t think they are serious contenders but good luck to them.

Bomber blitz time

[jeemak]

I am a bit disappointed the dam wall holding together this year's EFC gaslighting of its fans burst at this point, but happy it did the way it did.

Somehow Fremantle are out of the top 4.

[angelopetraglia]

Pies have now won the last four games, all against teams who are not in the top eight by a combined 21 points. The largest win by 7 points and they were almost five goals down at 3/4 time in that game.

Since we demolished them. They have won nine in a row. Five of those wins are under a goal. Seven of those wins are under two goals. I have never ever seen anything like it. MADNESS.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Their luck will soon run out. That's pretty crazy.

I know you can only really beat who is put in front of you, but they'll get ripped apart in September.

[merantau]

Bomber blitz time

Bomber Blitz in meltdown. Supporters apoplectic with rage and deservedly so. Umpiring very ordinary. However, they had their chance (Jones, poor kid) and blew it. Then the coast to coast goal was unforgivable.
Essendon went into a coma with 40 secs left on the clock.

[G-Mo77]

Go and look at Rocos exchange with another tweeter about 10 minutes ago. Hahahahaha.

Apparently the other tweeter is a bombers supporter!!

Zero defensive pressure for that kick in. They had no numbers in defensive positions. How can that happen? (BTW. After the holding ball decision, the Collingwood player kicked it away. It should have been a 50m penalty.)

[Grantysghost]

Apparently the other tweeter is a bombers supporter!!

Link? :)

[Mantis]

How was it not 50 to Jones? The Collingwood player kicked it away 2-3 secs after the free kick was paid... just a brain fart from Stevic.

The bigger brain fart was from the Essendon players who forgot set up for a point which allowed Coll to move the ball coast to coast with ease.

[angelopetraglia]

Bombers had 65 more touches, 31 more marks, four more inside 50m entries, 15 more clearances, four more centre clearances, 13 more contested possessions, more scoring shots and still lost.

Pleeeeeease let us sneak into the 8 and play Collingwood in week 1.

[G-Mo77]

Link? :)

Roco deleted it mate. It's gone. Someone screen shotted it though

[Sedat]

Go and look at Rocos exchange with another tweeter about 10 minutes ago. Hahahahaha.
It's quite sad seeing the destruction of a previously measured, normal human being. RoCo has devolved into viscious, hateful, and frankly awful person. He is toxic energy personified and I'm glad I stopped following his social media feeds a few years ago.

On Twitter I tend to stay away from people that keep pushing their political agenda but I gave RoCo some latitude. Several months back I stopped following him. Not sure if he is an awful person but he I'm glad I no longer see much from him.

Last 8 games for Collingwood -all wins:

4, 4, 26, 11, 5,7,5,4

[angelopetraglia]

Decent grab from Toby today using Lewis Young as a step ladder.

Posterised Lewy.

[Happy Days]

Posterised Lewy.

That's the second time he's got Lewy. Took one on him in the same game he punted Dahlhaus in the face.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Bombers had 65 more touches, 31 more marks, four more inside 50m entries, 15 more clearances, four more centre clearances, 13 more contested possessions, more scoring shots and still lost.

The biggest domination unrewarded I care to remember.
They lost by missing goals with billionaire abandon.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Pleeeeeease let us sneak into the 8 and play Collingwood in week 1.
8th plays 5th yeah let's do it.

[hujsh]

8th plays 5th yeah let's do it.

Reminds me of 2006

[Sedat]

Reminds me of 2006
Halfway through the last qtr of the 2006 EF, I might have yelled out to Tarrant, "at least you've got Mad Monday to look forward to", and he might have chucked a wry smile when he heard it.

[Mantis]

Last 8 games for Collingwood -all wins:

4, 4, 26, 11, 5,7,5,4

Since the bye (last 5 games) they have beaten teams in the following ladder position by under 2 goals:

15th
12th
18th
16th
14th

Winning form is good form, but not sure any of the other potential finalists are concerned about Collingwood.

The cushiest draw of all time.

Brilliant vision of Essendon leadership.

[GVGjr]

I really enjoy a Essendon loss and I've never understood why Dyson Heppell is seen as a good leader and for that matter a good player.
Rutten might not be a bad coach but this team is letting him and their supporters down.

As comrade said, if we were to finish 8th playing Collingwood in week one wouldn't be a bad thing.

[angelopetraglia]

The cushiest draw of all time.

Only two teams get to play the West Coast Eagles and North Melbourne twice. Geelong and Adelaide. That is like starting he season zero and four. Amazing that Geelong which finished top four got such a soft draw.

Add on the games at that narrow dumpster of a home ground and they should really never miss finals any year.

To be fair, Heppell was stuck on the bench.

I struggle to understand why in close games the leaders or the better players aren't on the ground. Perhaps Heppell isn't either :)

Touché.

The exact same thing happened to Brayshaw and Fremantle on Friday night.

Mind boggling.

[Bulldog4life]

Very confident we can finish up their finals campaign very quickly.

I believe their coach is quite friendly with one of the AFL's movers and shakers.

[Bulldog4life]

Glued?

[Grantysghost]

I did the ladder predictor and I have us playing Melbourne in 5th. They have a pretty tough draw.

Pies are down in 7th I think.

Bad turn of events, Tiges on fire 2 goals down.

The Lions remind me of us.

Just get overwhelmed, defence very wobbly when it happens.
