We got beat by Geelong in round 7 too. As we found last week, things change alot in 7 weeks. 77pt turnaround against the Cats in that time. Makes a big difference when you're suddenly not playing with half a side full of injuries as we were then, as we were against the Swans too a couple of weeks later.
Since round 4 we have played Freo, GWS, Geelong, Collingwood, Melbourne, Sydney, GC, Port away, Essendon, Geelong again and won 7 of them. If Essendon had that run instead of playing all the shot sides they'd be way, way down the ladder. Certainly well short of the 8.
Worst weather day of the year. They would have had 70k plus if it’s wasn’t freezing and raining. I know quite a few who decided to hit the pub instead.
Surprising performance tonight after bouncing back hard last week against West Coast …
That last half was outstanding. First half not so much but it matters in the 2nd half. Powerful effort.

Essendon aren't the real deal.
We shat the bed and made them look good that's what happened

It will be weird not using possibly the greatest road ever made next week, the Geelong bypassNo no. You uncouth floggos can get your arses down the highway.
The seats have been given the Arsenal treatment. Plastic covers to make cleaning your collective stench off much easier

Someone’s edging
You got smashed by Sydney. Lost to Collingwood. LOST to Adelaide (you have to beat these teams), played Brisbane when they were on their knees, Melbourne when they were clearly shot, GC at home and lost to Geelong. Dogs are in the 8 now and you haven't played them. To use "v top 8" mid-year is the dumbest thing ever when it clearly changes.
You'd think you guys would've learned a lot from 2022 and the start of 2023 to know not to go so early. Amazing the tripe you're saying lmao.
It's the best form guide we have so far. The fact that you have a lousy record against top 8 sides, means that you can't compete against your closest competitors. Carlton 2002 is nothing like Carlton this year, it's about as relevant as referring to Essendon '23 when you're clearly better this year. Citing something from 2 years ago is more dumb than referencing actual form.
Dockers too.
Richmond beat the Swans. What's your point? Swans should've beaten close to half a side at home Geelong beat us 7 weeks ago when we had many missing. Get most of them back and look what happened last week.
But, hey loser, we beat Essendon. Essendon proven again to be as weak as shit when playing a good side that puts the heat on them. Best to look forward to September holidays with your run.
Dees not in the 8 now and Port, Suns neither and just a few weeks ago you were counting them to your "record". What a farce.
We accounted for teams lower that you couldn't. We also didn't lose to Collingwood. That matters to form just as much as "week to week" teams in the 8 which changes. Beat GWS, Dogs, drew with the Pies. You haven't played/beat two of those teams. Melbourne were clearly out of it then and not in the 8 now.
You blew your load so early in 2022 and learned nothing. You are the king of using "mid-year" analytics as certain calls. You are the biggest clown and deserve every bit of karma that can come your way.
We beat Essendon. You're side is piss-weak.

Kayo now blaming the turning point being a free kick. Yeah really explains a 10-2 goal differential 
Mate, you have a losing record vs sides who are competing for your spot in the 8. We also beat you a couple of weeks ago.
What are you actually hanging your hat on here? You were embarrassed vs Geelong, which puts that losing record into perspective.
PS. We played GWS already and beat them when they were in much better form. If you're going to criticise me for being a "mid-year" king, at least get your facts right.
The fans should be booing at the team not the umpires if i was at the game tonight i would have been hurling all sorts of things to the players down the race
That was a disgraceful second half

JackFlash you’re on the money again. Hang on I’m being handed a note.
Turns out you were more than 100 points off the correct margin.
Lmao just a few weeks ago you were using this weekly edition of "v top 8" crap by counting Melbourne, Port and Suns. Now they're in the bottom 10. You are a literal "temporary analyst". You learned absolutely NOTHING from 2022.
Drew with Pies, you lost to them.
Beat Adelaide, you lost to them.
Smashed Doggies, who are in the 8 now, you didn't play them nor wouldn't have used them in your "v top 8" a few weeks ago.
Beat GWS.
You notched a win against a Brisbane side that couldn't stand up. You were absolutely pummelled by Sydney whereas we pushed them to junk time.
You touted the Port win as a sign, now they're in the bottom 10.
You are the ultimate "mid-year"/week-to-week king. What a clown.
If you're going to cite losses vs teams outside the top 8, you lost to Port by a lot:
Absolutely nothing to brag about here.
That's all you've got isn't it. We Won 7 of those 10 with huge injuries. That is a great record at any time. You expect us to win all 10? Included is Essendon but that was never going to be in doubt. We still sit 2nd after all that. Imagine if you have our run, you'd be down with West Coast. That's because your side is piss-weak.
Were you born when Essendon last won a final?....hahahahahahahaha. What does it feel like to support a piss-weak side when the pressure's on. You have nothing. Give it up. Having fun laughing you out of existence.
