    A guy like Cloke kicks 0.6 and everyone jumps on him, Franklin does it and they gush.

    Well that was fun watching Essendon lose from an un-losable position.
    They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

    I know my continual references to Bruce being a strange pervert can be tiresome, but this is the epitome of why I think it's important that I fight the good fight on that front. He's a sycophant, nothing more (apart from being a pervert), and nothing less (apart from being a pervert).

    It's too much.

    Best game I've been to this year, absolute ripper.

    Very impressed with Daniher watching him live. The best of the young talls?

    The game is played above the shoulders in finishes like that. I'm sure a lot of Essendon players put the cue in the rack psychologically speaking.

    I thought he'd won the match with that last mark. It was a beauty. He's a damned good footballer.

    He is incredible to watch. So mobile and a bit like Buddy you feel like he is a threat to kick a goal if he gets the ball anywhere inside of 80m.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    Took 2 very important marks in the backline in the last 2 minutes and made 2 very big mistakes, playing on both times.

    Hopefully the AFEL doesn't feel sorry for Essendon and give them the 4 points anyway. I mean it was so heartbreaking for the club and players with what they had to go through. They fully deserved the number one pick last year. What an incredible story

    So Sydney now I'm the 8 after starting 0-6. What a crazy season. It's great the comp is so close but just adds to the competition we have to make the 8. On the plus side of the comp being so close, if we do happen to miss the eight we can turn it into a top 5 pick fairly easily. I'm not advocating it but it would be a silver lining in a horrid year and give us some great tools to reload for 2018. Of course I'd much prefer to eventually find our spark and get in the 8

    Should Bellchambers have received a free in the final seconds at the throw in?

    It looked like he was pushed.

    Wasn't a great game . It was close , and the way Essendon did a Richmond was hilarious.
    Soon as Essendon levelled the midfield Sydney got killed on the outside, but when Sydney dominated in there they should have been 5 or 6 goals up .
