Have fun.
I am in Melb for the game , catching up with Amers happy to catch up if others are around as well PM me if you are around
I'll get in early.... Gees the cheats are getting a good run with the umpires.... Any chance of our mob getting a free or two?
Gawd I hate the Scum with a vengeance >:(
Nah they are blessed this year so I'm refusing to attend any CheatsFC games, home or away.
By the end of the season "Free Kick Hawthorn" will become "Premiership CheatsFC"
Until the fans of the other 17 clubs get serious and stay away from CheatsFC games, nothing will ever be put right. Bums on seats and TV ratings, or the lack of them is the only thing AFL will take notice of, it's that simple.

LP there are 2 many Cheats FC lovers in the media ,the way they were treated when they played their first game back you would thogh they were coming back from combat.I see your point,but I will be there cheering on the boys like I always do
I plan to watch this game on TV but I'm really really dreading the Ch 7 commentary. I don't which is worse, that or going along to a live Bummer game! :(
I think a few beers (or more) will be well in order.
A bunch of cheating BUNTS !!!
Should have been booted out of the league >:D

I usually go with my son and some family friends who are Essendon supporters but will be giving this game a miss....no Cripps, probably No Rowe and the "G"
full of feral EFC supporters plus little hope of victory..
Think I will sit this one out and watch it on the TV too, need to clear the room though of anything that can be thrown in the direction of the TV.... ;)
Game thread...move the discussion into here and we'll lock up the pre game shortly after the bounce/throw up
Commentators on ABC radio talking about Palmer having a lot of potential to be a very good player, and that we haven't seen the best of him yet.
We have 1.
Samo, Cripps goal.
We seem to be applying good forward pressure, and also providing multiple options for the man with ball in hand. Progress.
Oh well, we were in front for 9 minutes
Any chance of Daisy hitting a target?
Weitering nice grab looks a forward.
Weitering nice grab looks a forward.
and then stuffs it. The commentators were raving about his body work on Hurley.
Had run of play and kicked 1.5. There's the game.
Any chance of Daisy hitting a target?
2.658% I'd say
and then stuffs it. The commentators were raving about his body work on Hurley.
And Bumbers run it the length, and they jag one from 40 out. Daisy spotted up 2 Bumbers on their own in our 50 now >:(
1 5 is terrible, Weiters should have kicked that, it was a shocking miss. SOS didnt need to dribble that one either.
Tough game, some nice commitment , taking the chances shows result on the scoreboard. Hard to believe finally in Melb for work game on and I get sick on game day. Would have been great to see so many new faces , 6 new from last year today.
Effort and disposal OK in the conditions, goalkicking aside... :-\
1:5 ain't gonna get the job done when opposition kicks 3:1
Go Blues, some good signs so far.
Our other good news: Crippa is our leading goalkicker ;)
Defensive efforts of mids is still a worry.
Kreuzer never gets a free.
Gets pushed and held continually but never a free
Best team trails! >:(
Like Williamson, hits targets under pressure.
They are stronger and cleaner around the packs.
Great tackle Crippa
Nice delivery to create the scoring opportunity , lack forwards who lead , Nice to see Kruze knows the skill
Thankyou, Mk can kick straight.on back of Crippa tackle
Go blues
Weitering hasn't moved
Weiters out cold
All fifty_fifty calls going black and red way....
29 for the cheats needs to be dealt with, severely.
Gibbs is stinking it up.
Well read and marked Rowe
Can't fault some of the effort today, really pressing , hope that it can convert on the scoreboard.
Think some one has got on to Rowe, seems to going for his marks today?
Nice is Levi had his marks paid.
Samo, Murphy goal. Nice sequence ^-^
SAMO......
Have a shot Sami, don't had it off to squibbs
We're marking well
Kerrige has nothing between the ears. Space cadet
Goddard is hateworthy.... ::)
That kid wearing 31 goes ok
Really liking Williamson.
27 all with 4mins left goes
Yes Williamson looks very composed for his first outing
Williamson is going to a player. Kid is looking really good. Old school mongrel and a beautiful left foot kick
Weitering back on the bench, all patched up, not sure if he is going to be back though?
Really liking Williamson.
Yes, credit to him. Looks right at home
Kerrige has nothing between the ears. Space cadet
VFL player, not AFL level. EOS
Great intensity blues
Kerridge would want to improve
Liking Pickett , when he is near the ball you get the feeling something could happen. Reminds me when Betts started
VFL player, not AFL level. EOS
Jesus Adelaide has been bending us over the trade table for years!!!
We're in front, yaaaay!
Williamson does not look out of place.
Kerridge would want to improve
He's a very ordinary player, there's not much between him and Armfield.
The young fellas are going OK, very impressed with Plowman today.
We're a chance so long as someone can quieten Heppell.
Love that Tommy Willy boy, great left foot and a good size
Thumbs up with that one BB
Kreuzer never gets a free.
Gets pushed and held continually but never a free
Luenberger is scragging him at every ball up
Great intensity blues
Yes, much better effort today. Forget about skills, it's a slog and will likely be a case of last man standing.
Blokes like Captain Chaos Kerridge, Daisy, Ed.... Today is a game of inches and half chances and those blokes are not clean handlers, kick awfully and make dumb decisions. That will cost us in the end.
Gibbs panics and his kicking under pressure is U14 stuff.
Kerridge is especially useless imo.

and Merritt
Are we a chance here or what?
I've got a fine tremor going on. Not sure if it's my potential-win-radar arcing up or one too many coffee's ;D
Go young Blues.
Kerridge is especially useless imo.
Disappointing that he hasn't improved on last year.
Carlton home game, halftime in Cheats FC rooms, interview Merret, wtf Carlton?
Is your marketing department even existent or are they just a bunch of 9 to 5 trembling hands out salary earners?
Forken disgraceful!
Explain yourself Carlton, the piss-weakness of your marketing?
Forget the football, we are being forked on the coverage big time!
Until our club grows some balls and does something about this sort of CheatsFC bullcrap we are well and truly forked!
Sammo, Crippa, Williamson, marchbank, the Plow, Docherty, are stand out youngsters so far. Hope Weiters is OK.
Rowe, mk, and even White are tracking well.
Big tackle Gibbs
And messed it up. Get real Gibbs.
FMD, wet weather basics, 25m out, kick the ball lace down you forkwit!
Great tackle Marchbank
Gibbs got a serve when he came off.
Samo good on a day like this, very clean and smart.
3:11.....
Sammo... Well done.
And the maggots keep them in the game.
umpire goal that one
Gibbs... AAAAARGh.
Umpiring letting heaps go because of the weather then pluck some crazy ones out of nowhere ::)
We must be doing ok, umpires getting involved.
We must be doing ok, umpires getting involved.
They always make sure we are playing against 2 teams ::)
McCreadie Williamson Plow... And eventually the captain goals
Thomas...... Useless.
Murph banana - booya.
White looks knackered
Any chance we can stop the Bombers answering one of our goals within a minute ?
Thomas...... Useless.
Yep. Trying to see the pro's,... Cannot
We score and they instantly respond, by another missed tackle. I reckon every missed tackle has ended up a goal.
Heaps of love on the radio for Marchbank. I'm a million miles away, is he putting in??
Lace down you fecking wankers, lace down!
$400K a year, lace fecking down!
Finally got rub of the green... Out deliberately
Lace down you fecking wankers, lace down!
$400K a year, lace fecking down!
Getting emotional LP?
Yeah I had to turn the TV off as well from yelling too much >:(
Heaps of love on the radio for Marchbank. I'm a million miles away, is he putting in??
Smart, very smart
Cmon Palmer
Palmer, lace down for feck sake you fecking million dollar morons!
This is U12 sh1te!
Our coaches are not worth a chocolate coated turd!
15 more inside 50's hence the 15 more behinds ::)
Great to see some heart from our guys
Mark Rowe
Some basic skill errors when kicking for goal costing us. Should be 3 in front
Wrapped with our fight.
Set shot misses will bite us on the arse thou.
How the feck do professional multimillion dollar players get to AFL level and not know that 35m out in torrential rain conditions it's easier to kick straight with the fecking laces down?
Friction between the lace on the ball and the lace on your boot stops the ball sliding off your boot!
FFS, who's coaching these fecking morons, Daffy Duck?
We are a man down with Daisy playing, too slow, too light to hold it in tight, fumbly and can't kick. Williamson to replace him for the rest of the year.
McGrath hasn't impressed for a no.1 pick IMO.
Backline maturing very nicely just need the other end to finish off nicely, that could've been a premiership quarter if we nailed all shots.
We're certainly the better side just hope it translates into a win.
Alot of our our new blokes we got the last couple of years are doing well.

They also interviewed Weitering.
Happy with newbies today. Williamson calm and good kick.
On flipside...kerrige has stunk it up.
If the AF stats are an indicator, our leaders are leading! MM 110, BG 104, MK 91
Wrapped with our fight.
Set shot misses will bite us on the arse thou.
That worries me. Bad kicking has bitten sides on the arse all weekend.
I like our future but we still need a midfield and a CHF.
BT is a deadset flog. I cringe whenever he is comentating our games. But today proves his bias...
Murph makes a great 15m pass to a bloke in the clear, and fair dinkum, BT says "Murphy is lucky that there was someone there, otherwise that would be deliberate". Then carries on like a good sort when the scum player gets pinged for deliberate kicking it 50m from the nearest player (other than simmo).

They interview CheatsFC players even when they aren't fecking playing!

Thank feck I'm not the only one that picks this crape up!
Blood stirring Go Blues
20 more inside 50's ... WTF?
Great snap Goal
Please god no quick reply.
Now shut up the defence don't let that quick reply happen
I like our future but we still need a midfield and a CHF.
We recruited McKay for the latter role. Fisher and Polson had good games yesterday. So you never know.
Some of our boys growing in statue here today
Some of our boys growing in statue here today
They look like they belong...finally
kerridge has zero skills
They'll pinch this from us. They always do.
we are standing watching them mark the ball
We deserve this one
nice pass Goddard you flog
Lace down you flog!
Awesome job boys
You fing beauty
Anyone know how to do a rain dance ? We need one for the next 19 games.
Very happy - rapt for the lads. Boy it's nice hearing the song.
