    I don't know whether to be happy the Bombers are smashing Port, or angry we'll get off the hook somewhat because of it.
    TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

        Unfortunately am I seeing some similarities with Essendon and the 2015 Bulldogs? They have the same fight and spirit that took us from bottom 4 to finals. They are inconsistent which is consistent to the dogs of 2015. Pricks.
        They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

          No not even similar game styles. They required no fight whatsoever yesterday as Port thought they had the bye

            Am I the only one still peeved the cheats got the number 1 pick last year because they cheated? Or should I feel sorry for them like the media do?

              The worst decision the AFEL ever made was to go chasing the 'Interim Report' and applying sanctions in 2013. It left their hands tied when players were actually charged by ASADA.

              Had they simply let the investigation play out and provide material support where they could, the draft sanctions could have been applied far more thoroughly and properly, and they probably would have extracted more from Essendon staff as well.

              Instead they were given one lean season, watered down draft penalties and now boast Andrew McGrath on their list. Who is a bloody good player.

                I'm not suggesting that their game style is the same as ours so much, although the speed through the middle of the ground they move the ball is comparable of the 2015 Bulldogs. I'm talking more about the momentum and exciting football they are playing at times. I'm not trying to pump them up by any means because I hate them just as much as the next bloke.

                        No goals to half time. He's playing full back?

                            This is what could cost GWS . They just get selfish, and want to play an uncontested brand
