I thought i heard/read somewhere that our players/ club werent doing a mad monday as there are still finals going on for sandi and a fair few of our listed players are in training still. Not sure where i read or heard it though. I also think i heard the Wednesday thing that SainterK wrote about :D ...

Why? Do I normally do that? I don't think I have. The corrupt thing is hilarious though. Surely you are only corrupt if it changes the result.

10 goals in or 100 points could be good betting figures

Worse was the missed 50 to Weller with about 40 seconds to go. Would have put him 10 metres out in front for a goal and an almost certain win. Umpires did everything in their power to rob us last night. Cats 5 frees inside fifty, those deliberate idiot frees, the missed 50, the missed cheating kick...

Getting off the train from Bendigo, over the bridge and up to level 2 to the warmth and comfort of our seats under a closed roof. People hold doors open for us as we enter the rooms to buy food at now reasonable prices, this has to be better than watching the 'hockey at the Garden'. The G yesterday ...

Were people questioning the possibility that Essendon's improved perfomance may have been due to the majority of players having 100 injections of performance enhancements before the AFL forced them to bring it to light? Do we now look at a handful of teams and wonder at the physical size/bulk of a d...

Sat through the game with the kids on the promise of getting to go on the ground after the game keeping them going. Then at three quarter time a message goes up on the big screen "there will be no kick to kick after the game". Really took the wind out of my little man's sails who had been ...

A while back it was explained in the media that the Dogs were having a lot of frees paid against them because they were playing risky, attacking and desperate football. Perhaps we are in the same boat? Unfortunately when you see the game you know this is not really the case. As for the AFL receiving...

Two weeks in a row, teams with bigger bodies. I don't want to see our young players brought in to be belted about so early in their playing careers, what is to be gained? We have a month after this match before Essendon and another good break before Geelong to allow our younger, lightly framed play...

I thought it was only Bruce making irrelevant comments that annoyed me but I struggled listening to Tim Watson on Saturday.when

For those of us who were there it was quite apparent the umpiring was not consistent. A good percentage of the frees we received were from out on the full. Armo probably wound them up further when he turned and held the ball up to the umpire to see if his mark would be paid. I would suggest that man...

I'm going. Second time, missed last year, but looking foward to heading out tomorrow. Expecting a great weekend with a good win to make it even better.

The player was wrong to say that to the umpire about Eddie. It would be far more likely to be a betting company making the payments.

Unfortunately Schneider turned the ball over with the majority of his disposals earlier in the game when it mattered.

I dislike the Carlton supporter who headbutted me at a game.

How many frees did we get in the last quarter?

On the plus side, it was great to see a free given to Riewoldt after Ablett just blatantly pushed him into the marking contest. I loved seeing the little weed yelling at the umpire. I cant lip read well, but it looked like he was saying "I am Gary Ablett, I can push whoever I like, there is no...

Called my new pup Jack. Can't go wrong

I'd like to think we played the first three quarters trying a few new things out, then played the last quarter for the fans.

Weller being in the leadership group should start on the ground.

I'm surprised that people think of BJ in the same way they think of Luke Ball. Ball left when we were challenging and played against us the next year in a grand final. He had an offer. Was considered a required player and walked. I believe that Ball had accepted the offer much earlier in the year a...

Perhaps he is on a contract that would be paid for 2015 whether he plays or doesn't play so it is seen a solution to avoid wasting money? He has been particularly disappointing in high pressure games and the point above by 6621104 rings so true. "Since when is pointing to others to do your job,...

Now we have the young players (with a few more to come in the draft) it seems like they want someone able to take responsibility for srategically developing their performance which it sounds like wasn't Pelchin's forte. He could bring them in but wasn't the person for the next stage. There is probab...
