Omg if Essendon make finals and win one we won’t here the end of it for 20 years , I think I will follow the storm when that happens.

Dunks is a good player. But if he was influenced to leave because he was spending time at half-forward and moments in the ruck, well...welcome to the new normal. Patrick Cripps did some ruck work for Carlton last week and he's a lot more critical to the blues than Dunks was to us (or is to Brisbane).
I still like to think his reasons were honorable (cold, hard cash!!!) but you never know.
Jake Stringer, never change.
Nails a goal 50m out on the boundary in the first quarter… a seriously seriously good goal….
30m out pretty much directly in front and misses to the near side…
Our loss to Essendon probably needs to be reanalysed, in light of the fact that they only had one mulligan all season to date (against Port) and have been highly competitive in every other match this season. What they did to hold firm against Collingwood's onslaught 5 mins before half time, and then honestly be the better team for most of the 2nd half, was impressive.
We were definitely crap on that Friday night but perhaps not as crap as we all thought straight after.
They also kicked 15.6 that night. They kicked them from everythwhere. Straight kicking and some dubious umpiring kept them in the game early. We also had a couple of chances to put some serious scoreboard pressure on them and failed due to our own innacuracy or some terrible decisions going inside 50m.
They blew us away late, which was the dissapointing thing.
Wow these two teams are bad, how is Port in the 8?
The out and out butt kissing of Ross Lyon on the broadcast (both Fox and ch7) has been nauseating.
Some of Sweet's follow up work has been pretty good tonight. With the help of Dixon they've been able to work a wounded Marshall over a little bit.
