On the couch

I agree to some extent, but as the coach said he got his hands on plenty that he should have grabbed. There were a few early on where he had his man beaten but just dropped them. Plus he kicked as well as he can last week, 7.1 or 7.2. He was definently on.

Yep - startling difference in his game. Cud not miss against us and cud not kick straight yesterday.... Also dropped plenty of marks. Mind u the other Bombers helping out really helped. Wish our blokes wud learn to help each other out like that...

Hardly think it was the same bloke - kicked em out of his clacker the week before - missed 2 quite easy conversions yesterday. Fumbled probably 4 marks he should have taken - where he spilled it rather than having it knocked away. Second efforts yesterday ? What are they ? Everyone time he missed a mark - he would get up off the ground like a pensioner & walk after the opposition. Looking at the 2 games - he got a couple of soft frees in front of goal against us & once he took a good strong contested mark - his head came up & he was away. He is very much a confidence player.
 
Yeah Carlisle played well, but if Cloke was that flat last week, we win. That's footy. I also reckon desire was a big factor. Hawthorn kicked their arses so they really came to play last week, They beat us easy, then would have thought the same would happen yesterday. It had that feel. They expected things to happen. They'd put in and get back on even terms and expected Ess to fold and things to happen. Also Ess would have watched the video of last week very closely.

We needed Kingy to go rough him up a bit and get into his head!

They usually have a bit of a go at each other and Cloke doesn't play well when you start messing with his head........having an angry ant like Kingy mouthing off and giving him some stick tends to really stuff up his game! >:D
 
Gee, let the frothing start from healy and roos re the swans this week. And the cherry on the top, they've got Kieran Jack on the couch this week. Fair dinkum this show is seriously becoming a swans and afl excentric froth fest.

I can't stop laughing at making a rugby champion's kid the co-captain of an Aussie Rules club.....hmm.

I won't be watching Open Mike with that annoying Lamb-brain Kekovich on tonight.
 
Going by what Healy just said, it looks like Peter Jackson will report to the AFL this Friday and changes could be made during the team's bye.

Looks like a real 'bye-bye' round for Neeld.
 
It's very interesting that we are almost half way through the season and the AFL hasn't come out with any punishment for Essendon.
I'm with Sheehan they need to act now and get them out of the 8
 
I've seen so many players from one club bag there own like the swans.
Jack about Jessie white "he career was at the cross roads and he had to deliver in the seniors not just the 2nds"
Where were you against Hawthorn *smile* for brains???

To be fair Roos's love for the Swans is pretty justified right now.

The got pumped by hawthorn, they pissed a 4 goal lead down the drain to the dockers at home, the beat essendon who they're always beat in Sydney and yippie they beat the Crows..
They're overrated.
 
Opps I forgot to mention I hate Sydney. *smile* club.
Another club that uses culture when they win and when they loose they slip under the carpet

Yer sorry Zips, i had a laugh at that. They are far from overrated mate. Just wish the tigers could defend when we havent got the ball like the swans mate. They are well and truely up there this year.

If they're sh!t, what are we?

We are the best. We don't use "culture" crap to get people through the gates.
They win one flag in 3000 years and all of sudden there are super.
Do yourself a favour and watch the hawthorn game....
