Bombers are absolutely horrid. How have they won multiple games this year?

Yes bombers are shit. Skill level is atrocious

[lemmon]

Can the media please start talking about Bailey Dale as the best half back in the comp?

100 per cent. He rarely gets mentioned against the likes of Houston, J Daicos, Blakey, Whitfield etc but he is better than all them.

49 disposals, what a star

[jazzadogs]

What a joy that was.

They were laughably bad - fumbly, crap skills, missing tackles.

We were sublime - pressure, skills, winning 50/50s. If we finished our work better we could have won by even more.

Let’s just recognise what Bailey had to put up with during the week , not only the Rioli thing but the Port president insinuating Dale was racist .

That guy lives for attention, Koch.

'Cos they've been gifted some of the lowest hanging fruit in the comp.

My god Essendon move the ball slowly.
In what Universe does Brad Scott have a contract for next year and Bevo doesn't?

[merantau]

Outstanding performance by the team. So much to like about the fitness of this team. We totally out worked them all night.

Naughton is out of form but I cannot fault his effort. He tried his guts out but the ball just wouldn't run for him and I thought he was scragged a lot. Things will turn for him.

I have never ever rated him

Fancy Scott boasting in the post-game that it wasn't necessarily a total disaster because they succeeded in keeping Naughton quiet.

Yes, this is a swipe at both of them.

Anyway, over to you Herbatron.

That was a very enjoyable night at the footy. Massive crowd with 47K in the house and we silenced the red and black contingent from the first bounce.

So much to like, we had them covered in every facet of the game. Exceptional performance.

The lid us off, we are going places.
