Its not about good luck with anything, form is form and if you think Essendon haven't been in good form then you probably need to pull your head from your ass. Your mob haven't even won that many of their last 10.

Thats no more than a week for jones.. similar to he Tex Walker one.. stupid, impacted the head...but didnt do any damage... so a week.

His first report at the start of the match was pathetic.. nothing in that.

So all up he gets a week off IMO..

I reckon you can safely triple that. I reckon he gets 3, no matter how they carve it up.

Personally thought there was bugger all in either Jones incident. The first one was just dumb and didn’t hurt Merrett. The second one, meh, those bumping situations are very hard in normal speed.

He hip and shouldered his jaw!!

How embarrassing is Roos? Abject performance from Sydney and he immediately deflects to how the bombers will find it difficult to make finals with their percentage and bad start.

Everyone else telling it like it is, he’s blindly ignoring it. If pundits can’t take their blinkers off they need to be shown the door.

Roosy is a farkin joke when it comes to Sydney. So heavily biased towards them and never provides a balanced view when commenting on their performances.

So true. Even their failures are just part of a 'master plan'. Roos just shouldn't be allowed anywhere near Sydney games commentary. He doesn't even 'try' to be neutral. I can cop it from most of the biased commentators but he is next level.

 

[blitzer]

Reckon Jones will get 1 for the jaw punch and 1-2 for the hip and shoulder depending on medical report.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Lol blitz. I'm sure they'd be thrilled you keep tabs.

I enjoyed the envy in the minority of posts that acknowledged how far ahead of Essendon the opposition is.

 

[Captivating]

I find it funny that Bombers fans keep pushing Hurley as one of the best defenders in the comp due him getting double figure marks and 30+ possessions. This is probably the best game I've seen him play. He only got 12 possies but smashed Buddy and got shafted by the umps. Looks like when he his put in a position by his coach to impact the game by playing on a forward he can do so and he did it tonight.

Don't usually rate Hurley but he was a gun tonight.

Not sure what planet you're from where we only rate defenders if they get 30+ possessions and double digit marks? I tend to rate based on their propensity not to dive and stage for frees.

 

[Tristan34]

Essendon would be that team that just.makes the right, but a team no one would want to play... They are so quick and can score pretty quickly...

clearly emotional and irrational at times

Great win by the bombers who effectively ended the swans season but are still to far back to make it themselves. If they can play like they have the last few weeks than 2019 finals should be a possibility.

We'll struggle to make it considering our percentage, but we're still a chance if other results go our way. I can't see us going close to Richmond, but we have winnable games against Hawthorn, St Kilda and Port. If we win all three, we'd be 13-9 which could be enough. Sydney, Port and Melbourne all have a tough run home.
Walking a tightrope though.

I know right.

That missed Hurley free, the stupid 50, the missed high contact to bombers twice in 1 forward 50 entry........

I am so glad an opposition supporter also noticed this.

He is absolutely pathetic whenever Sydney, and to a lesser extent Melbourne, are involved... especially in a negative result.

It’s not about the number. It’s about the inconsistencies. And stay off the drugs bro.

Surprisingly, I saw far more contentious ones go Sydney's way. The free kick count was more an indication that only one side was playing decent football.

 

[shakeyabonbon]

We are turning into an absolute juggernaut!! Won't lose another game! Flags ours baby!!!!!

 

[Andronicus]

See my above point.

I did.

My point still stands.

Sydney literally were 5 goals better off because of poor umpiring. The Heeney 50 and Buddy's two goals were all dead set howlers of decisions, the two blatant non holding the ball calls in the Essendon forward 50 in the first quarter were mind blowing also.

Two times these came just as Essendon were pulling away on the scoreboard only to have momentum stopped each time, they should have won that match by 70 points.
