I should point out, the Bombers have about a half dozen extra AFL listed blokes out there, including a lot of mature AFL hardened bodies (Crowely, Simpkin, Jamar et al).

But they have just 3 blokes on their injury list. Three. The presumptive wooden-spooners, just busted for an organised doping program. Meanwhile, we're rationing beds in casualty.

Meanwhile, Moloney has missed a set shot, and a barney has erupted...

Maybe we should change our name from the Collingwood Magpies to the Collingwood Witches-Hts?

Defensive structure doesn't work even in this lower grade. How long are we going to persist with this shite.

Now, he's a first year player in his 3rd game, granted. But those of you cracking chubbies over him because of his size need to cool down for a couple of years...

Meanwhile, Simpkin has kicked another...

27-86
Very odd he was taken so early. Not that he is no good, but he would have been available at our last pick from all accounts I've seen.

Very true. I don't know how true can be very as it is or it isn't the truth but that's another matter.

That's the reality & the perspective it ought to be seen through but I want to hang on to the frustration a bit longer :wink:

Essendon supporters carrying on like they've won the flag. "We are Essendon, we are Essendon, we are Essendon!"

I know what you are, all right...

Final term underway here at Victoria Park.

We trail by 57 points.

Can we repair the percentage...?

Marsh doing run-throughs on the boundary, so his leg hasn't actually fallen off... yet.

Better just to bench him though. Game's been over since half time...

Crocker clunks a mark inside 50, but misses a very gettable shot, especially for him...

We may as well throw a few hay makers... not like this team can actually hit a target. So no danger of reports or suspensions...

And now some here have started turning on Cloke.

Really? Not his fault the midfield can't get it to him or kick properly or gets murdered by the maggots when it does come his way...
