      Very noticeable West Coast need more run through the middle and better kicks.
      Probably should be further in front .

          Watson got the final laugh over the crowd.

          A little teary.

              Amazing how Essendon seem to have swung the whole doping scandal around into a heroic 'stickin' to the man,' type of Disney sports film like defiance. Media are fapping about how respectable they are, celebrating the triumph of a team accused of cheating to win, for winning.

              It'll come out in the wash, but it is all a bit backwards for me at the moment.

                  Gotta say its all pretty hollow.
                  Any other sports and Watson would be stood down.

                      The Bombers sure can run games out stronger than their opponents. They had a real pep in their step in the last qtr.

                          My facebook feed was full of Essendon fans demanding that Weagles fans should show Watson "respect" and how the Bombers "stuck it to them". Ummmm, kids, he cheated, no respect to be earned there...

                              Was a very enjoyable game last night, WCE now have a huge challenge to make finals and Bombers in a great position to push for top 4.
                              Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

                                  Listening to Darcy and Richo gush about Watson was embarrassing.

                                      Probably massive Lance Armstrong fans, too.

                                          I loved Darcy going on about the presumption of innocence for Jobe...hey Darce he copped to it the other night on TV.

                                              With his old man working at the station they were hardly going to say anything negative about him.

                                                      Got to say, I don't see the irony in that. I've had similar comments plastered all over my twitter feed and facebook page. I'm not sure why its got on my goat exactly but it has. Not expecting much support for this view either, given the backlash I copped.

                                                      They aren't booing a guy for taking drugs, they are booing someone they perceive to be a cheat. I suppose I'd made the assumption that generally people would see the issue of using drugs to systematically cheat, to gain an unfair competitive advantage as a different kettle of fish to the scenarios that Chris Mainwaring, Ben Cousins and the like got themselves in.

                                                      Would people agree that in terms of severity and impact:

                                                      Lance Armstrong blood doping = Some other pro-cyclist doing coke outside of competition.
                                                      Chinese women's swimming team = Grant Hackett's recent dramas
                                                      East German blood doping program = Phelps smoking dope after training.

                                                      I'd assumed most people would say no. Jake King certainly doesn't. Seems the norm is that we should ignore the 'performance enhancing' aspect to the drugs scandal and apply the one lens to all scenarios a la a "War on Drugs," narrative. Doesn't seem right to me.

                                                          Cheats vs Swans. The deliberate rushing free kick....

                                                          Worst decision in my lifetime!!! I cannot recall anything quite like it, the umpire should be deregistered.
