    I'm sure Liam Picken is enjoying the game. Or I hope he is.

        Bad enough to beat us by nearly 10 goals!

          And now essendon stinking it up. I hate both these teams so so much but not nearly as much as channel 7's Saturday night commentary.

              Is that all the crowd was? wow pathetic. Swans supporters must hate travelling west as most are upper class wankers from the eastern suburbs. It is a both a pity and a joke that they will probably end up winning the flag.

              Ah yes the good old COLA. Decisions made by the AFL executive, with no understanding of grass roots football, whose sole premise is based on the almighty dollar; profiteering; power and market share all at the expense of the traditional clubs. The Clash sum it up perfectly in their song Koka Kola.

                Not correct, just at the breaks.

                Essendon are up and down on the spot... Look shot.

                    Weird game, wished both teams would have lost but happy to see the dons stink it up again in a final.

                      Interesting reactions by North Melbourne and their coaching team.
                      More of an In Bruges guy?

                          Did you watch the second half?

                              So, I'm not sure what your question is? Essendon were 33 points up at half time/early 3rd qtr and lost by 12 points. They stunk in the second half, stopped running, struggled around the contest and struggled to hit a target.

                                Dislike both teams but happy to see the cheats run out of steam. As The Verve state "the drugs don't work. They make you worse".
