Fucking Demons!!!
They're still using the mojo that I gave them from last year. Evil creeps.

EAT US AND SMILE!!!!
my friend,they must have stashed some of that mojo you gave them for the 05 season.
They were awesome on saturday night,who knows if they have enough mojo to break the premiership drought.64 was their last.
Mate,
That's so funny last year how you kept telling me how badly they sucked. Yet, I kept tipping them anyway and they did well. Yep, there's definitely some MAXIMUS MOJO going on there. lol.
Just don't go handing it out to Carlton or Collingwood.
I don't want you to be a Mojo Slut now.This season looks like it's going to be difficult enough,however it will be easier to take if their down their with us.
Im Pissed at Carltons first up effort following the Wizard Cup. Although we only went down by 20 points, its one I think they should have won. Good luck for next week BOMBER ! You blokes are without
Llyod, but we have a seriously depleted defence. So it should be a
good even game.
BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow !
Love ya Mary Frances!
Mate,if your pissed at Carltons first up effort then Jesus Christ,how do you think I'm feeling?
You guys still have firepower to kick goals in Red and Fev,at the moment our forward line is one man in Lucas.
You guys have to be red hot faves but as you know strange things happen in games between our 2 mighty clubs.
You can bet it will be a great game. They always are, no matter where either team is on the ladder. The Blues and the Bombers always step up a notch when facing each other. Im looking forward to it. One of us will be on the board this time next week !
Only a couple of hours to go and I'm off to the G.
It's still 30 degrees outside,good cricket weather but not so for footy.
Great drinking weather though,at 5 bucks a cup of beer,the AFL should make a mint tonight.
I'll enjoy my $1 a can of beer and watch it on my projector via Austar satellite
But it would be cool to be there with ya mate, except we would have to beat the shit out of each other :p

THE MIGHTY BLUES ARE BACK !!!
Essendon and Carlton always put on a top game. Commiserations to
my new mate BOMBER, it wasnt your thirds this time.
Great game, you would have to agree !
28 points down at 3/4 time, Carlton's second best comeback in 200
years of Football against the Bombers, Their Third best comeback in
history against all clubs.
Essendon knew the much faster Blues would come back, and they
did. In front of 56,000 fans at the MCG the Blues kicked 7-2 in the
final term to run all over the top of a very tired looking Essendon
outfit.
In my opinion the Blues looked like they were just pacing themselves
for the entire game, knowing they could run all over the top of
Essendon at the end... Would be interested to hear Bombers thoughts.
(And dont use Lloyd as the excuse my friend ! you have to be able
to field a team without him) Hird was there and Lucas kicked
a bag...
GO THE BLUE BAGGERS !!!
Hey BOMBER ! One of us is on the board !!! GO BLUES !!!
Alright it has been 3 days and the steam has finally stopped blowing out of my ears.
Firstly - congrats to Carlton and to you P'Mark on a great comeback and great win.We always knew it would be close.
I went to the game on friday night and made some conclusions on walking out.
The game should have been over and buried at 3 quarter time,it was the second quarter where Essendon completey and I mean completely dominated the game but failed to capitalise on the scoreboard.
If Carlton was pacing itself,it not only had me fooled but its thousands of fans there at the G who at 3 quarter time had basically conceeded.
I won't rant about the umpiring but Jesus Christ both groups of supporters were scratching their heads for basically the whole game.
Lucas bagged 6 and can feel rightly justified in asking the question in why in the hell he wasn't allowed to line up for 7?
I had a great chance to watch both Fev and Whitnall strut their stuff.
Sorry P'Mark,now that the gun full backs are playing and not sitting out Wizard Cups,Fevola has been brought back to reality.He is definately not Lloyd class and from the way it's looking Lloydy could miss half the year and still win the Coleman.
Your right it wasn't our 3rds,however when you don't have a ruckmen playing and your full forward is missing (the best in the comp),throw our centremen in there in Rioli,things would be a little different.
In the end it was Pagans masterfull coaching move of exploiting our having no ruckmen that won you the game.
He just plonked your ruckmen on your forward line and we didn't have the height to match up.
We certainly showed alot of improvement on friday night from the week before and still have alot left in us.I'm not so sure if Carlton can improve as much.I personally think the Dons will finish higher than Carlton this year.
Bring On those Hapless Hawks this week.
Shit mate,
I don't even know how I did this week cos I cannot get on the OzTips site. I take it we fookin' lost again eh?
6/8 mate,better than last week for sure.
Unlucky not to get 7.
How'd everyone else do? What about DIF cos he needs to be dethroned. Did he suck?
He got 5.
We are only 3 off the lead and it is a bunched field.
Early days my friend but we can easily strike from there.
Can you get on the OzTips site? I keep getting "Try again later."
It's a little slow but I just got in.

Hey BOMBER !! Good to see ya mate !
Thanks for the gracious congrats !
As for the frees, I agree. There was poor decisions both ways.
Call me crazy, but I never lost hope, even at 3/4 time.
Why ?? We are young, you are old.
I knew Carlton would run better in that last quarter. I knew it
was going to be tough, but I still felt we were a chance. I
watched every minute of the glorious spectacle.
As for Carlton not having room for improvement ?? You are
kidding me right ??? We are the youngest team in the
comp ???? Fevola didnt have his usual impact on Friday, luckily
for you guys otherwise the defeat would have been a lot bigger.
Looking forward to the other big traditional clash next week, Carlton v Collingwood !
Mate,his usual impact is alot less than you think.Originally posted by Panamark

Granted he plays a good game once in a blue moon but in no way is he consistent like the best full forwards of the game.
Proof is in the pudding when you look at his total goals at the end of the season.Neitz even kicks more than he does.His usual impact is that when he plays against full backs of the quality of fletcher,Micheal and scarlett he is found wanting.
You will improve with those youngsters over time,as the seasons go by.I'm talking about sudden improvement.Having a ruckmen out there will certainly help our midfield,and you know how important Coleman is down there at full forward for us.
Belting the Hawks on sunday should give us a shot in the arm also.
G'day BOMBER, well I guess we will have to see the goal tally at the end of the year. Fevola was a handy forward last year, even if he
wasnt the leading golakicker, you cant deny that.
I really hope you beat the Hawks. I dont think my poor father (and no doubt yourself) could take a third loss, and to the bottom side in the
league at that....
I think Essendon (until they are at full strength again) are going to
struggle agianst sides that finish strongly.. but you should be ok
against the Hawks..
BOMBER, I just saw on Sports tonight that they are going to try and play Matthew Lloyd against the Hawks ! That should cheer you up
Yep I saw that mate.
I don't think he will play though,if it were anyone else but the Hawks he probably would.One more week off wouldn't hurt.
There's a picture of him at training in todays paper.You can actually see the steel plate in his arm when he takes a mark,looks freaky.
Rioli will return this week,this is a huge in for us.
Bomber,
Who do we play next week?
The Hawks mate (Hawthorn).
They haven't beaten us in 7 years and are currently woefull.
I have alot of great mates who are Hawks supporters and they think they are going to roll us on sunday (dreamers).
They were our arch rivals in the 80s,we played off in 3 consecutive grand finals in 83,84 and 85.
They won the first one in 83 but we went back to back in 84,85.
We were 21 points down at 3 quarter time in 84 and it looke like we would lose.We stormed home to win our first flag since 65,that game is the reason I became a Bomber,it is one of my first memories of exactly understanding what football meant to so many people.
Fuck, back to earth..
Im amazed, almost all of the ladder exept the top three have won
only one game..
After tomorrow there will be only one left on 0. Methinks Hawthorn....
Congrats to Collingwood, no excuses, the better team on the day.
Congrats Bomber ! On the Board
You can join in with the other 9 teams on 4 points now !
Cheers Mate !
Thanks mate.
Shocking win though and we won't beat any other team in the comp playing that garbage.For the 3rd week in a row we didn't come out after half time.
All that being said,for some reason I give us a chance next week against the Cats.
Go Crows!!!
Cop that Port. A 68 point thrashing. I sooooooo enjoyed watching that game.
Now, did you guys see the Brisbane v Sydney game? If ever a game was decided by the umpires it was that one and I'm not talking about the lame free-kick for Hall either.
I"M TALKIN BOUT THOSE BLOODY 50 METRE PENALTIES!
How soft are the umpires? A few little harsh words and it's a 50 metre. THAT'S CRAP. Brisbane was ripped off big time. I'm not a fan of the 50 metre penalty anyway as it cheapens the value of a goal and is too harsh a penalty. Particulary for abusive language in an emotional game like footy.
And that result will only encourage Paul Roos to continue with his anti-football mission that's ruining the game. How bad was that first half? Hope we knock 'em off next week.
Yes, those were great days for footy.Originally posted by BOMBER

I still consider the Hawthorn side of the mid 80s to early 90s the greatest team I've ever seen.
If you want to see bad umpiring check out Scott McLarens umpiring on saturday between Carlton and Collingwood.
I didn't care who won the game but was interested in just seeing a good game on tv.That was the worst umpiring I've seen in years and Jimmy Hird should ask for his 20 grand back.
Yeah, that handball that whitnall did when about to be tackled on the boundary line, was clearly inside the boundary and to himself..Originally posted by BOMBER

Not a deliberate out of bounds.. That decision turned the game in
my opinion. (Collingwood goaled)
But there was fucked decisions both ways.. (To be fair to the Pies)
Which I hate being
Whoah ! That must be the biggest thumping Adelaide has dished out to Port ???? Well done chaps !!Originally posted by Halen High

Cant stand fucking Port..
Hey P'Mark - both our clubs look like they're going to struggle from what I saw on the weekend.
Good luck with Port,I'll actually be barracking for you guys in this one.
Big bald Bazza, you bloody legend!
Agreed.Originally posted by BOMBER

Is it at the dome or at AAMI ??
I havent been able to look at the AFL site Ive been so pissed off...
LOL
Both teams have something to prove coming off the loss. I tell ya
what, our defence is really really weak.. (I know we have two out injured) but we really have to work on that.. Digby Morrell on Rocka ??
Why didnt Pagan put Predergast on Rocka ? I think he did in
the last 15 mins and Prender contained him..
That I dont understand..
There was a couple of freakish goals that went collingwoods way
too.. I saw three dribblers that rolled the right way.. When your
luck is in, everything goes right !!
I didn't see any of the Carlton v Collingwood game but really the standard of umpiring is so bad that its become a serious issue for the game. Some of the 'grey' rules don't help either, for instance, was that intentionally out of bounds or not? The umps aren't bloody mind readers! But the umps are shocking these days and they decided that result in Bris Vegas.
Hey Panamark, we actually beat Port by 74 points in the Blight years, so almost a record. Go Carlton this weekend. I would say that easily 90% of Crows fans barrack for whoever is playing Port.
Here's a question for ya Bomber. Has Sheedy been at Essendon a couple of years too long?
