It was a joke, I thought?

Horse is hyper tonight!

Hard to believe the filth could be in second position after this round.

They don't have to get them all right, just more right than wrong. But hey, controversy!

We're playing at Mars? And I thought Shanghai was stretching it.

Disappointing that we didn't make 100 points with all the ball we had. Most of our forwards looked impotent. Roberts well out of his depth. Gulden needs to stop butchering the ball. Blakey has been worked out. We'll be lucky to make top 8! 😁

Finally an easy one... 5. Gulden 4. Chad 3. Heeney 2. Rampe 1. Hayward Logan (though he might have been close to our 2nd-worst player on the ground)

Anzac Day should be commemorated on the 25th of April, and only on the 25th of April. There is no need for every match that week to have an Anzac feature pre-game.

It feels like it would be a fair result.

Like us last year against the cats? 🤔

Bum played a big part in keeping us in it early.

Here's the Shovel's take on it. Given the recent issues with boundary line umpiring decisions, perhaps the umpires are similarly confused?

Since the AFL media department seems to have dropped Team of the Week like an unwanted sub, I'd like to invite the boffins here to name their best 23 from Round 2.

Is this your cygneture post?

Does anyone know what's happened to Team of the Week? Has the AFL's media department canned it? I would have thought we'd have a few spots this week.

Too many to choose from, so I had a peek at the ratings. Yep. Gulden Heeney Warner Papley Jordon Roberts (It's games like this that make me wish we could hear the Brownlow votes now instead of waiting till September)

Roses are red Violets are blue Essendon are thugs And play like doo-doo.

Hypothetical: suppose Parker, Mills, Reid and Adams were all ready to go this week. Who would you drop? The only obvious one for me is Amartey for Reid. Anyone else would be stiff, so who do you chop?

Right you are. Scotty Stevenson it was. Edited.

Did anyone notice how uncomfortable Haddin looked when Stevenson commented on how friendly Lyon was to the NZ players? Pointed comment by Doull, perhaps?

Hey, how else am I supposed to get my ratio up!?

It wouldn't be if what he'd said was true, ie. no appeal. But it's pretty clear from David's reaction and the way he continued carrying on at the dugout that he'd appealed. Abood's deaf.

Swap Starc and Shamar's bowling teammates and then see what happens. 🤔

That's a bold call. There was a bloke called Bradman who was supposed to have been pretty good.

Personally I'd be more inclined to blame the top order players who got out for nothing or close to it, but hey, piling on Smith is the fashionable thing, innit?

For split second it looked like Hazlewood was going to prove you wrong.
